You want to talk about hypocrisy?
You're fighting for the rights of a human fetus; how can you sympathize with something that isn't even a fully-developed life form and support the termination of mature life on a mass scale? | Privacy and choice mean a whole lot to mean. I believe that I should be safe and secure in my home or on my property. I believe that I should have the choice to decide where I will send my children to school, or what job to take, or so forth. And I agree with you whole heartedly that they mean a lot more to a young woman entering an abortion clinic. However, there is no hypocrisy in what I said. I have plainly stated that I am anti-abortion, not pro-life.
How can I sympathize with something that isn't fully developed yet, mainly because I work in the healthcare field, and because I was a soldier. I was taught that it is a duty of all to fight for those who do not have the ability to fight for themselves.
Because I am a conservative I believe in the checks and balances of this country and our Constitution. In this decision, I believe that the Court has stepped over its limited duties. The decision of abortion should not be made by nine in robes, but rather by the people of the states. You claim that as a conservative I would do away with abortion, that is not my goal. My goal is for the decision of abortion to be decided upon by the people, as the Tenth Amendment demands. You have the nerve in other forums to talk about the will of the people, well let's see how much you like it.
dmk | Well the will of the people is to let women have the right to choose!
Further more, by your logic, you should NOT be in any healthcare field, you should be preventing people from getting vaccinations, I mean you have to defend that life which can not defend itself right? Well who is looking out for the Flu? The flu is caused by living organisms, inside people's bodies, but it is okay to kill it... Why not a fetus? I see no difference.
You are very smart, and apparently well educated or at least willing to do your research, and I commend that, but you are not very good at forming any kind of an effective argument that is not easily countered. Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand. http://www.armysailor.com http://www.tadpolenet.com/techblog
