That is the same as saying, "I wouldn't murder anybody, but it's okay with me if others commit murder." It doesn't work and it is NOT A MORALLY DEFENSIBLE POSITION!
Realize that only a moron would make such a statement. Probably a misguided female.
that is a precious photo
From Robert P. George, professor of jurisprudence at Princeton University:
"I am personally opposed to killing abortionists. However, inasmuch as my personal opposition to this practice is rooted in a sectarian (Catholic) religious belief in the sanctity of human life, I am unwilling to impose it on others who may, as a matter of conscience, take a different view. Of course, I am entirely in favor of policies aimed at removing the root causes of violence against abortionists. Indeed, I would go so far as to support mandatory one-week waiting periods, and even nonjudgmental counseling, for people who are contemplating the choice of killing an abortionist. I believe in policies that reduce the urgent need some people feel to kill abortionists while, at the same time, respecting the rights of conscience of my fellow citizens who believe that the killing of abortionists is sometimes a tragic necessity--not a good, but a lesser evil. In short, I am moderately pro-choice."

I am personally opposed to raping pre-pubescent boys and girls. However, inasmuch as my personal opposition to this practice is rooted in a sectarian (Catholic) religious belief in the sanctity of human life, I am unwilling to impose it on others who may, as a matter of conscience, take a different view. Of course, I am entirely in favor of policies aimed at removing the root causes of those who feel it necessary to rape boys or girls. Indeed, I would go so far as to support mandatory one-week waiting periods, and even nonjudgmental counseling, for people who are contemplating the choice of raping a boy or a girl. I believe in policies that reduce the urgent need some people feel to rape boys or girls, while, at the same time, respecting the rights of conscience of my fellow citizens who believe that the raping of boys or girls is sometimes a tragic necessity--not a good, but a lesser evil. In short, I am moderately pro-choice.
Sorry, in my previous post when I modified the paragraph to substitute raping boys or girls, I forgot to take out "rooted in . . . religious belief about the sanctity of human life" and replace it with "rooted in . . . religious belief that rape is immoral."
Of course, the belief that rape (or killing innocent unborn) is not merely a religious belief but a universal belief that spans religions, but those who do the "personally opposed but others should have the choice to do it" trick deny that abortion is a matter of natural law and universal justice and, instead, say opposition to it is merely a "religious belief." That's why Robert George formulated it the way he did. I just forgot to finish the modification.
Hey, I'm pro-choice, too.
Although I personally believe that they're human beings, and should be treated with full respect for their rights, not everyone agrees with me! Some folks even considers these not human beings but rather parasites feeding off the mother. I don't get that at all, but who am I to tell folks how to think?
Thus, folks who disagree with me about the humanity of these believe that it should be legal to "terminate" them. Doesn't make sense to me, but should I really push my morality on others??
Anyway, I'm all for the moral position of not killing abortionists, but in terms of law, so that I don't force my morality on others, I gotta go with pro-choice. We shouldn't impose our morality on others by making it illegal to kill abortionists.
Oh wait. I'm not sure that's what the "pro-choice" folks meant. Oops.

Something very John Kerry about this....

"Personally against abortion, but still pro-choice."
Few things make me angrier than this rhetorical sleight-of-hand. It is cowardice, plain and simple. It is being partly responsible for the continued legalization of murder, yet attempting to assuage the conscience by this silly phrase that is completely meaningless.
Tell the truth, I say. Is it wrong or not? And if it is wrong for you, why are your babies worth more than a single mother's? Either a baby is dead or alive after abortion. Either you care about that or you don't.
I would rather a pro-choice politican come out and say they have no problem with abortion than try to snow me with phrases like the above.
God bless and be well.

...... GE showcasing new scientific advancements is annoying to pro-abortion people.
