Gov’t should not be involved with abortion or marriage.

You are not a Libertarian, you are just a pro-abortion mechanic.

I agree that this is a state issue

Euthanasia both voluntary and involuntary, is now a state issue, are you proud of your stance?

Without the right to life there are no rights.

At present, there is no Constitutional amendment stating that human life is protected in the womb. I am not now, nor have I been since I started voting in 1971, a pro-abort.

There are no amendments concerning marriage, either. That doesn’t mean there cannot be in the future.

But this is not what this thread is about. There are plenty of Rand Paul threads, this is about “How much weight should our opposition to abortion carry in our voting decisions”.

Another "black and white" question in a shades-of-gray reality.

Abortion is murder. Any advocate of abortion shouldn't be voted for.

The problem is that we have someone on the Left who is a rabid supporter of abortion and who wishes it could be available at every corner store. Then we have a "Republican" who "thinks there might be some cases where it might be allowable".

If those are your choices, do you vote for the one with the unformed/immature opinion or do you allow the rabid pro-murder on demand guy win by default?

I so appreciate your post, and more than that I appreciate your service as a volunteer.

My heart breaks when I think about how this nation has endorsed the murder of MILLIONS of babies. Makes me angry and sick to my stomach all at the same time.

We are going down the same path with the perversion of marriage, and all I can think is that God’s judgment is so very near.

I am glad you have been able to help heal some hearts.

I give to Live Action, in hope that some of the tide can be turned.

Really? Was that the gist of what I was talking about? Or was I discussing how conservatives should simply lie like the democRATS do when asked about abortion or any other topic that the democRAT media chooses to hang on them as a millstone.

I am not, have not, advocated for or against euthanasia, and that was not even part of the conversation.

And yes, for the record, that is a state issue and has no business in the federal courts.

It's just a "social issue". The young libertarians don't want to be "festooned" by it.

If a candidate is pro elective murder, he/she has failed the litmus test.

Yet I repeat my tagline.

“I’m a conservative NOT a republican.

Gov’t should not be involved with abortion or marriage. These two should be only between a woman/dr and people/ministers respectively. It’s not my d@mn business.

Or is that libertarian? Ok, I’m libertarian.”

Yes, you are libertarian. No, you are NOT conservative.

You want to be fiscally conservative and morally liberal. You have made up your mind to be duplicitous. But should we allow that you are being halfway honest?

I believe you have accepted that abortion is not murder, or would you give consent to murder of, say a 3 year old retarded girl, as it is between a woman/dr and people/ministers respectively? beings how it’s none of your **** business.

The real issue is that there is a large faction on the Left which is just as hard-line about abortion as many on the Right are about the Second Amendment. Having a firmly anti-abortion candidate brings them out in activist mode just as strongly as having an anti-2A brings us out.

Drop this nuttiness, your very first post on this thread, was to me, about Rand Paul, your second post on this thread was on libertarians, your third post brought up Rand Paul again, I didn’t respond to you until post 50, and you are the one who keeps posting to me about Rand Paul.

I was late to your Rand Paul party.

You are posting like crazy on Rand Paul, someone was going to disagree with you about him if you kept going on posting on him as you have.

Trolling for libertarians and Paul can’t be done without someone correcting you.

I would even add to that, if a Democrat running claims to be pro life, what`s he doing in that party? So I simplify, NO DEMS

If you want the party to drop social issues, then you start voting for GOP candidates who are refusing to accept the party platform and let them take over the party.

100% weight. Period. Killing children is murder. The term ‘abortion’ was introduced by liberals to soften their killing of babies.

I can honestly say I’ve never voted for a Democrat, wouldn’t even consider one no matter what they said. Their party plank is corrupt to the core, anyone associated with that party (and franlky, most GOP’s also) are assumed to be corrupt.
