"Gun toters?" Abortion "Rights?" Why are some of you people arguing so forcefully for the liberal Democrat positions?

Jim, I wasn't arguing FOR anything, let alone a liberal Democrat position.

What I was trying to explain in the post you reference above is that I believe people from different walks approach the issue of abortion from their background and perspectives. A doctor against abortion could reasonably say "I do not like abortions, disagree with them, but the medical profession that I am in provides the manpower and technology to perform them." Does that mean he is pro-choice? I don't think so. I also believe when someone who has been involved in the legal profession says, "I'd like to see it ended, but ultimately I believe that a woman has the right to choose", he just might be saying what we all know is true, that women have the CHOICE to terminate a pregnancy or carry it to term without interference in the United States. She has the right to choose.

I am extremely pro-life. It's unfortunate, but I doubt you know that, I doubt you know much about anyone that has really been here for any length of time. I find that unfortunate. I think it's easy for people to dismiss a thought or a post for that matter and classify it as "pro" or "con", and then attach and classify people. Seems there is a great deal of judging going on in order to squelch any discussion. Too bad.

What argument have I made regarding gun toters, and the Second Amendment? I'm all for you having the right to bear arms and tote those guns around, because I support the conservative principle that we are guaranteed individual liberty.

That's why I don't understand how "conservatives" can believe they have a right to own a gun, but that women don't have a right to their own body.

Please explain why you believe you are entitled to own a gun, but I'm not entitled to decide what to do with my body.
And if you would be so kind, I'd like to know what empowers you to make the choice for me, when the law says you do not.
