The supreme court ruled that the fetus is not a life. If its not a life, then what is the difference between it and getting a body part pierced. I mean can something really be a pseudo-life? No, absoultely not.

My point, which I guess I didn’t make clear enough is that conservatives hide behind this moral ground of the fetus being a life in order to keep the poor down. Where can we see this supposed goodness that conservatives feign here? Taking care of the poor? nope. Creating world peace? That’s pretty laughable with those war-mongers. Creating equality among the races? They oppose affirmative action Fannie and Freddie and any bill that is meant to help the underpriviliged race. So how are we supposed to believe that they care for the innocent “little guy” in the womb? We can’t!They have proved themselves selfish and dismisive of people that are in need.

And Matt, just because an ever so slight majority may agree with you does not make it right, or constitutional.

Lastly, Hugh, don’t ever call me a conservative again. I take it as a personal attack.

Hugh, I appreciate that you bookmarked the blog because you felt it to be level headed and rational. I also take your criticism seriously, because one of my goals is to take neither party’s side. I don’t think that political divide furthers discussion of the issues or progress in policy. I simply try to take every issue and analyze it closely, and then offer opinion. That’s why you’ve seen seen me strongly criticize President Bush and the Republican party, along with President Obama.

I would never dismiss the whole of Obama’s policies as extreme-left, but many times I simply come from a political philosophy much different than his. Other times, I hope to reveal the substance of his words and actions beyond the political context he places them in. That’s important for any politician. Anyway, I appreciate your feedback, and I stand by my assessments of President Obama’s policies. If you can show evidence that his policy on abortion, for example, is not at the fringe of his own party, I welcome the response.

As a side note, I bookmarked this blog because it seemed to give a clear, levelheaded approach to a viewpoint that I tend not to agree with. The “Oh my gosh, look how liberal Obama is” talk is making me question that move. Obama is doing plenty to alienate the people that voted for him. Resorting to half-truths really isn’t necessary.

I can’t believe people can be anti-abortion. If the babies are born they often times relegate themselves and their mothers to poverty. How can you want two people to be relegated to poverty? That’s simply evil. The reason so many conservatives are anti-abortion is because it provides another means to keep the poor impoverished.

Don’t you want justice for women? Its their body, why can’t they do what they want with it? You don’t keep people from tatooing their bodies or getting earings or noserings, because people have control over what they can do with their bodies. To me, an abortion is no more than getting a bellyring.
