Question

Why do liberals care so much about the soldiers dying in Iraq but could care less about the unborn babies being killed through abortion. At least the soldiers have weapons, the babies are defenseless.

Answer 1

Liberals often don't care about the genocide that would go on in Iraq if the US left either.

Oh, and both parties support children who are alive. If a young mother has a starving child...yep there's a program for that...go out and find it, even if it come from a church, your baby won't starve. Unless, maybe, you spend their food stamps on garbage and eat it all your own fat self.

Oh, and most pregnent people "chose" to have sex, so I ignore the force people to remain pregnent arguement. That's just ridiculous, most of them chose to have sex = accepted that pregnancy could result. The issue is wether or not the fetus is a person.

Answer 2

At one time in my youth, I would was inclined to be Pro-Choice. Now, as age creeps in and life becomes more precarious I lean towards the Pro-Life position. That may explain my changing my position. As I do have six children, I would say that make me a card carrying member of the Pro-Life contingent. However, I will also add two things:

At no point in the past 20 years have I felt an acceptance even within the Christian community for having a large family. It has been quite the opposite; I have often been ostracized by the Christian community for having six children. This is just part and parcel of the blatant hypocrisy at large even in the South. Let me state this in clear terms, the Church has never been supportive of large families. This whole Pro-Life stance of the Religious Right is a farce. They should be ashamed of themselves for provoking the murders of Physicians in their drive to make woman submissive to their will.

Abortion was made legal in the United States without debate by the Supreme Court7; as such it has stuck in the craw of many for years. It is, however, a legal procedure which is sanctioned in the U.S.

P.S. My oldest son graduates from the Navy RTC on Friday. Go Navy!

Answer 3

I didnt know they cared about the soldiers in Iraq. Liberals only see things in dollar signs, thats the main reason they protest the war.

An embryo has reflexes to stimulus. An 8 week fetus can grasp a needle injected into it. I lost a baby at 7 weeks. Dont bullshit around about when something is a baby.

Its a baby when you make it, its a fetus when you dont want it. Its all about what makes a person feel good at the time.

Answer 4

I don't think it is liberals as a whole, I know of republicans that support abortion. I think it comes down to this:
There will always be abortion somewhere, why let those babies' lives be a complete waste when they could save millions of others?

Answer 5

You mean help the troops through extending their excursions of duty, lower than a end loss order, till their spirits spoil? Or were you wondering helping the troops through making positive that infirmaries like Walter Reed, those that take in the wounded troops, are properly staffed, properly managed, and are not falling down in lots of black mould. Um, wait, liberals did none of that. try to be wondering about your neo-con pals that were given us into this morass.

Answer 6

Unborn babies - does not matter what western religion you are - are not equal to viable human beings. This does not mean that I am saying abortion is ok - but that comparision is illogical. I have no problem that you feel abortion is immoral, but no conservative, moderate, or liberal can objectively agree with your argument.

Answer 7

Why do you care so much about fetus's that can't live outside of the womb and not about the kids that are alive living in poverty through out the world?

Better yet, why do you scream abortion is wrong and then scream when we try and teach kids sex education?

Or you scream don't teach sex ed and then tell people they deserve the AIDS and STD's that result from their lack of knowledge?

Answer 8

Because the issues are unrelated.

One deals with whether a person can be compelled by the government to remain pregnant against her will. Or from another perspective, whether the individual or the government has the final say over reproductive choices.

The other issue deals with people who have volunteered to serve in the military, and have chosen to put themselves in harms' way.

That voluntary choice to serve in the military makes the issue fundamentally different from a woman who may not every have chosen to become pregnant.

But it also explains why those who are pro-choice are also anti-draft and anti-death penalty. In all cases, they don't believe that the government should be making the decisions about who lives and who dies. They believe that in all such cases, the choice should be up to the individual.

Answer 9

Because they aren't babies. They are fetuses with the potential to become viable babies, after which time of course they not be aborted. But until that time, they are only potential humans.

Answer 10

First off, its "could NOT care less". When are you illiterate people going to get it right? And liberals DO care.

2ndly, liberals do care about people having abortions its not for you to decide who has one.

Conservatives care about a zygote or early term fetus but don't give two sh*ts about people when they are born. Make them cannon fodder, let them starve, no job? too bad. Commit a crime- execute them.
