The statement that "social conservatism is a luxury is about as idiotic as anything I've seen on FreeRepublic -- for two reasons:
1. Almost every destructive economic policy in this country can be tied to a disastrous social policy that has no basis in Natural Law.
2. Political candidates who describe themselves as "economic conservatives and social liberals" usually end up being reliably liberal on economic issues anyway.
You're certainly free to ignore these points, but you do so at your own peril.
I'm not talking "debates." I'm talking about civil disobedience and just flat-out ignoring the ruling.
How come that didn't happen?
Hey, I agree with you. I'm just saying fighting for abortion restrictions and no taxpayer funding of abortions would save thousands of babies' lives NOW. Then you work to ban it as a long-term measure. Instead of going for these hail-mary passes that don't go anywhere and abortion continues.
2. 90% of the time agree. Which is why government should stay out of social policy business.
I think defunding and prosecution of Planned Parenthood would be a great place to start, but no reason to pop the corks and call it a day.
Fair enough. What would constitute an unwelcome intrusion of government into “social policy business,” in your mind?
You have an amazing ability to capture truth in a nutshell. Thanks
