I have no issue with anything you’ve written. If I read you correctly, your issue with my post is that you found the term “morally reprehensible” to be a poor choice of words to describe the behavior of the pro-choice crowd. And I don’t have a problem with that either.

Obviously, the point I was trying to make was lost.

No, my impression was that you were using the term "morally reprehensible" to describe Abortion -- and my point was simply that "morally reprehensible" doesn't cut it. Abortion is Murder. That's what makes it different from other "social issues".

I might find prostitution to be morally reprehensible -- yet still oppose legal prohibition of privately-owned brothels on Private Property grounds, or at least support the authority of the individual States (i.e., Nevada) to prohibit or legalize the practice as their own Legislatures decide.

But, while I do believe that the Laws should be written at the State level, I don't think that we Conservatives (and Pro-Life Libertarians) can ever waver in our support for the Criminal Prohibition of Abortion, because abortion ends a human life and the Law must recognize such life-taking as a civil evil, not just a personal moral vice.
