My first response to this article was "where to begin," but I was drawn to this ponderous and otherwise gigantic sentence:

What’s contradictory about this is that the Republican Party self-identifies as the conservative party, the party that won’t impose itself on its citizens, yet it espouses and is more than willing to impose a very specific set of moral principles — so one example might be, the government illegalizes abortion, but isn’t going to increase taxes to fund orphanages.

The simple concept that the liberal mind either can't grasp or continues to refuse to is the only sane opposition to abortion. Conservatives oppose abortion because they believe it is murder. If it weren't, it would be a medical proceedure along the same lines as plastic surgery and nothing more. Therefore, the Roe V Wade decision that prevented states from protecting unborn human beings actually infringed on their rights. If life begins at concetion (and there is no logical argument that suggests otherwise), then the Pro-Life position is the only one appropriate for Conservatives.

And, I must add, there is nothing to suggest that "orphanages" (which we no longer have in this country) would be innundated with unwanted babies once abortion is outlawed. At the moment, there is a tremendous shortage of babies for all the stable an loving parents that would love to adopt one.

Liberals always forget about adoption, even when they are adopted themselves. Girl, adopted, who works in the office down the hall had her baby 86’d.

Talk about pay it forward, eh?

There is however an unofficial Gulag Archipelago of homes, with unwed Mothers, keeping the unwanted alive, in the inner city and elsewhere, so they can fester into a permanent underclass, that Liberal politicians take their power from.
