Liberals say that on the issue of abortion that conservatives need to stop trying to push their morals on them. In this case the moral is about killing unborn children.
BUT...
Liberals want us to pay more into welfare, a possible national health care system, and more taxes on the rich to help the poor. Isn't giving to charities a moral issue as well? 'Charity' is what its called when you collect cans of food as school for the homeless. 'Toys for tots' is a charity to give to unfortunate children. So isn't using our taxes to give others money/foodstamps/... forcing us to have the moral to give to the 'needy'.

To help someone in a time of need is a lot different than the liberal point of view.
The liberal plan does not encourage the recipient to stop taking "charity",but to keep on taking it. That is why we have generation after generation on welfare.
Abortions are going to happen,either naturally or medically. I think both sides of the issue should sit down to work out some sort of compromise to allow medical abortions for legitimate reasons,not on demand.
A woman who needs an abortion should be able to get one that is safe and would allow her to have children later if circumstances allow it.

Actually, the proper idea behind Pro-Choice for most "liberals", is the idea that this is a moral decision that needs to be made by individuals, and not by the government. In fact, abortion has been around for thousands of years, and although I don't necessarily approve, I do prefer that there are guidelines that should exist. If the government legalizes abortion, it controls it.
When have the conservatives been down on social security? From what I hear, they love pilfering from it every chance they get, just like the liberals.
And yes, I do feel that we need public systems that take care of the needy, but I do feel that it is abused, and would like to see people who don't need it booted.

It's all about personal agenda, and your own beliefs what side you're on and fight for.....me....I think morals are a deadly ground when brought into politics. I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE LAND OF THE FREE, which means FREEdom...but even our forefathers based the whole thing on a christian-white-male dominated society...that would be a democracy....all of these are just other forms of moral and social agenda.... in the end we're human (which is bad enough), after that we try to build a "better" society...and things go to heck quick...

Excellent point and yes, liberals do have their own moral value system that they expect everyone else to follow. And it is hypocritical and selfish for the liberals to claim that the conservatives' moral value system isn't allowed because the liberals pretend that morality in general isn't allowed.
And for the fella who said that this was the land of the free, I have this to quote.
"What do I mean when I say that we first sought liberty? I sometimes wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws, and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there no constitution, no law, no court can save it. No constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it. And what is this liberty which must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will. It is not the liberty to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men know no check upon their liberty soon becomes a society in which liberty is the possession of only a savage few, as we have learned to our sorrow. And so what is the spirit of liberty? I cannot define it, I can only tell you of my own faith. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women. ..."

it truly is the completed situation with Socialists/Liberals and Marxists. There are deliberately no provisions for emotional arguments or effect allowed in the regulations of the structure. The very theory of their creation obliterates the reason in the back of the starting up of this usa. that's likewise why many conservatives evaluate them traitors, because to institute their time table calls for the circumvention of the corporate. And for the record, there is not any free health care and no, forcing someone to purchase a product is the most blatant abuse of the structure ever tried.

Nice observation. Giving to charity is, at least to an extent a moral issue. It is commanded as moral behavior. Ask good ol' Hilary that one.
