You said: Nonsense. The right to choose is supported by a substantial majority of voters because it is right and it is fair and even though it is sad.
When are you guys ever going to learn that people don't like to be told what they can and can not do?
Whatever happened to the conservative mantra that government should stay out of your affairs...and now you want the government to outlaw a woman's right to choose?

I am sure otherwise will respond in a more articulate (and clean!) manner than I, but let me respond as best I can.
First, I agree that no one likes to be told what he or she can and cannot do. That said, there are countless examples of this, and we call them laws. Good laws are made for the public and individual safety and welfare. I assume you do support laws that tell people what not to do with or to YOUR body, right? The crux of the issue is whether women have the right to terminate a child's life inside them.
You are also correct that conservatives generally believe in as little government interference in our lives as possible. But conservatives are also strong on law and order, and the taking of innocent human life by another should be prohibited by government.
Conservatives DO support a woman's right to choose...whether to cause a child to be conceived. Once there is a child inside the mother (and here there can be differences of opinion as to just when that occurs, at conception or at some later point) no law should permit the termination of that child's life, with rare exceptions that almost certainly account for less than 1% of the abortions performed in this country.
The "right" of one person to unilaterally decide whether another lives or dies is, or ought to be, universally rejected by all thinking people.
I would not care to be part of a "lodge" that opposes the right of innocent human beings to live.
No, it is not. It is whether a woman has a right to choose whether she wishes to carry a fetus to term.
Conservatives DO support a woman's right to choose...whether to cause a child to be conceived...
Wrong on several counts. While some conservatives choose to judge a woman's sexuality and morals and others don't want to pay for another's mistakes the bottom line is that it is no one's business but the woman carrying the fetus.
