He did not support abortion granted. He did not support most all the right wing platform or past practices like aggression, charging interest, . He did believe in free medical care, giving to the poor, Never said he thought being gay was cool, but gave organized religion of his time a hard time for many church practices of today. Thought prostitutes were ok to talk to. Hung out with the poor

Jesus is all about saving your soul, since that is God's well for you.
What ever He did on earth is for your salvation and if you are still lacking behind, may I please ask you to start a good re-think about your life, ins tend of asking things you cannot understand until dead do you part from earth. SO PLEASE SAVE YOUR SOUL WHILE YOU CAN, CAUSE TIME COME-TH WHEN THAT MIGHT NOT BE POSSIBLE.
THANKS

Abortion: Correct. Jesus did not say anything in support of abortion, but many things that can be used to show opposition to it. But is never specifically mentioned.
Charging insterest: Matthew 25:26-28. Jesus concludes a story about three men who were given money by their master to steward. On returning, the masters that rewards the two men who had invested the money and made a profit. The more profit, the greater his praise for the man. However the last man had earned nothing, so they master punished him saying they he should have at least collected interest on the money. So sounds like Jesus was in favor or both capitalism (making a profit) and collecting interest. He did however say that you should lend to brothers in need without charging interest. But I do not recall him ever saying that businesses should not profit.
Free medical care: Jesus did perform healing. And He complimented the Samaritan for giving medical aid to a man in need. But I can not recall him ever saying that government should provide free medical aid.
Giving to the poor: Same as the last two answers. Jesus supported private charity and personal giving to the poor. Can not recall him ever supporting government welfare. Big difference between the two.
Homosexuals: Correct. Jesus was silent on the issue.
Organized religion: Jesus never said anything about organized religion. He did condemn the members of the Jewish religion who made their personal piety so important that it kept them from doing what their religion told them to done, which was acts of charity and support for others in need. He did not condemn the Jewish religion, but He did the way people were abusing it.
Prostitues: Read sometime the encoutered that Jesus had with prostitues. He never approved or supported their lifestyle. In each case he presented them with a way to escape that lifestyle and to "sin no more". He never left them prostitutes.
Hung out with the poor: And with the rich, like Nicodemus the religious leader, Zaacheus the tax collector, Joseph of Arimathaea the rich man who gave Jesus his tomb, Simon the leper a rich and imprtant temple official who dined Jesus with the other religious leaders.. If a preacher where to come into town today and hold a huge meeting, what would be the average income of those in attendence? The majority would probably be middle class or below because first - there are more middle class and below people then rich people. And second - most of the rich are "too busy" to make time for things like that. In a rural, farm country like Israel, the overwhelming majority of people were poor, so of course His crowds drew the poor. But Jesus associated with all types of people during his ministry. But you hear more about His aid to the poor because they needed it more.
Would Jesus be a right wing fanatic? On some points, because he supported people taking personal responsiblity for their own lives (a conservative stand usually) and private charity over government programs.
But if He would alive today, His main focus would not be on either right or left wing politics. It would be on individuals. On changing lives by changing hearts. On charity and caring for others. And on teaching each person to love God so that they were free to love each other and themselves.
(Hopefully this does not sound like "hate messages" to anyone.)

Jesus was definitely a liberal of his day. His views were definitely outside the established conservative church or synagogue of his day.
Of course what many forget about the Founding Fathers of the United States is that they were political and religious liberals. Their ideas of people governing themselves and freedom of speech, press and religion were definitely outside the box for their day.

Jesus was neither left or right. He is truth with no division.
Joh 14:6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Jesus was a socialistic pacifist. As a moral leader he was conservative, but as a political firgure he was mega-left wing :)
