The need for abortion will always exist, to protect the freedom of women who don't want to give birth to a baby.

Let me begin by saying that you're still avoiding my question as to whether you think this is a Conservative forum or a Libertarian one. Why are you afraid to answer?

That being said, your comment above is hands-down the most asinine statement that I have ever read on FR.

Why answer, when you have obviously decided that "conservative" means your definition of "conservative", and that anybody who doesn't meet your definition doesn't belong on FR? By your definition, Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, and Condi Rice would be unwelcome on FR, because they don't qualify as "conservatives".

The framers of our Constitution were very much "libertarians" by today's popular definition of that term. Among other things, they didn't believe in government confiscating the fruits of some people's labors to give to other people, or regulating what people do with their own real and other private property, they didn't believe that government was responsible for ensuring a pleasant outcome in each citizen's personal life, and they didn't believe in "gun control". They didn't say a word about abortion.
