Conconing murder isn’t all that far from the act itself, as far as I’m concerned. And I definitely wouldn’t vote for putting a man in the White House who condones murder to the most innocent.

Conconing [sic] murder isn’t all that far from the act itself, as far as I’m concerned. And I definitely wouldn’t vote for putting a man in the White House who condones murder to the most innocent.

The key question is ultimately one of personhood. Why do so-called conservatives get their Underoos in a twist when cadres of left-wing activists support cop killers on death row? Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing in defence of Mumia Abu Jamal, or anything like that, but what I'm getting at is that we call one thing murder whilst the other--abortion--is a moral grey area to some conservatives and pragmatic Republicans. Seems we're still struggling with the issue of just who belongs to the class of human people, deserving equal protection under the law.

Personhood of the unborn has been, and still is, the white elephant in the room.
