I'm sorry, I'm afraid that doesn't help me. Abortion isn't mentioned on the FR home page that I can find.
I only ask cuz I don't want to be rude. I don't want to 'misuse' your site. I agree with you much of the time. I respect you all of the time. I think it's incredible what you've built here -- I'm a Director of IT for a company with a lot of online software, and I think you've done a fabulous job with this site. I think it's the best, easiest to use, most fully featured message board on the web, bar none.
You've always been very kind to me, I've never once in almost 10 years had any complaints.
It sounds like you'd prefer at the least, I didn't debate abortion, didn't defend the pro-choice side?
“Abortion isn’t mentioned on the FR home page that I can find.”
That’s only because you may have missed the ENTIRE statement.

Here’s the second paragraph of ‘The Founders Statement’.
“As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.”
FR is not a liberal debating society. Arguing a case for abortion will reserve you a place in hell as far as I’m concerned.
Hope that answers your question. Now stop wasting my time.
I'm relieved to learn that the wholesale slaughter of the unborn over the past 40 years has led us closer to "conservatism".
