Actually, I don't see any conflict of interest here. This kind of thinking is pretty consistent with a strong regard for human life whether actual or potential.
However, the question reveals a common misconception that human beings must be consistent, or they are being a hypocrite or deceptive. This is a common logical fallacy. If I were an alcoholic, who then got help, recovered, then dedicated a significant amount of my time to speaking out against alcohol. That makes me inconsistent, but not a hypocrite. Now, if I spoke out against alcohol then continued to drink in secret, that would make me a hypocrite.
One does not have to base one's case for varying issues on the same principle.

How in hell is that a conflict of interest? How do the two issues tie in together?
The only possible tie in that I see is that gay couples should be allowed to adopt those kids who were born unwanted into the world.

It's not a conflict of interest because the two issues are totally different.
If you want to discuss a more realistic conflict of interest, ask why so many people who are anti-abortion are pro-death penalty.
That one is the one that makes me scratch my head!

No, I don't see the link.
I am in favor of gay marriages for example but hate the idea of abortion. I am srtraight but not much of a Christian. I think all people should be treated with respect and I think babies are too wonderful, that even stopping what it could become is a crime.
Prevention of pregnancy is what is needed

No! I think that gay rights are exactly the same as civil rights! There are two obvious sides.
To me, abortion is a FAR more complicated issue and has many, many different sides.

Not really. The ones I don't understand are the people who are for abortion but against capital punnishment. What's up with that?
Let's kill innocent unborn children but keep murderers, terrorists, baby rapers, and the worst sort of people alive. Is that screwed up or what?

I did a quick NexusLexus search, and it looks like there used to be three people in the US who supported the right of gay couples to be who they are, yet were against a woman's right to choose.
Unfortunately, Mrs.Vera Wiggins of Tomcat, IL, died in a tragic accident, so it's only two people you are asking about!

I, personaly, am for both things. But they are two different issues that aren't really related to each other, so some people may be for one and against the other.

Uh...I don't see that the two have anything to do with each other to be honest. People can have their opinions about different issues.
