1. Abortion - I am against abortion, but I believe it must be ended by repealing Roe and working state-by-state, or by constitutional amendment. I disagree with the few Freepers who fantasize that it can be done by some sort of Presidential proclamation.
2. Euthanasia - There are several Freepers who believe that when the government decides not to pay for ultra high cost procedures with marginal chances of success, that is "euthanasia" and they equate it with Nazi eugenics. I'd be happy to point those Freepers to a good online dictionary so they can find out what "euthanasia" means.
3. Militant homosexualism - I am against homosexual marriage and homosexual military service. But I do not agree with some Freepers that sodomy should be re-criminalized. What that has to do with this thread is beyond me.
4. Redistribution of wealth - The current Medicare system (and to a much lesser extent, social security) redistributes wealth by taxing current workers (no matter how poor) and expending on current beneficiaries (no matter how wealthy). I am against that redistribution.
The ONLY acceptable solution is a pro-life constitutional amendment or a Supreme Court opinion acknowledging personhood rights of the unborn.
Sending abortion back to the states is nothing more than a "pro-choice by state" scheme and won't save a single life.

Can you name some of these "ultra high cost" procedures with "marginal" success rates? What about specific victims, can you name them?
Do you realize that as soon as we determine that a person can be denied health care once it costs "X" number of dollars that there is NOTHING to stop that number from dropping?
Nevertheless, I was talking about ACTUAL euthanasia. I meant taking deliberate steps designed to kill a person.

You were the one who asked BykrBayb why some people are branded liberal trolls and this is one of the reasons.

That's fine, I was talking about the plan to lower Social Security payments to those people who are deemed "wealthy" by some arbitrary standard (e.g. denying them money they have paid in).
