Yet, when it comes down to everyone's freedom with respect to keeping what they earn -- then those same liberals believe that the government is entitled to controlling you by taking from you and giving to someone else?

If 50%+ of what your mind/body creates/makes/earns is taken from you -- and given the time,stress, physical and mental consequences of working for that -- isn't that analgous to government controlling a good portion of your life?

Thanks goodness Pfo gets it and appears to understand the full meaning of the question asked.

See, they get something out of both ends. They can kill their babies so they don't have to pay for them, since they probably don't have jobs, and the guy down the street who works for a living can pay for everything for them, which they can put to use towards a big screen TV since they don't have kids to afford :P
They don't mind government interference in the form of handouts, but they mind it when the government tries to make them responsible.

Im from Canada so I have alittle bit more of an objective opinion being a member of neither party...although I do feel the the American conservitives are as evil as it gets. LOL. But it seems to me..thanks to your "conservative government" you have down there...your going to be giving a huge part of your paycheck everyweek to payback China and all the other countries that you borrowed money from to pay for your war. HOW CONTROLLING IS THAT!!!!.If the "liberals" truly are taking from you and giving to somebody else( which is probably stretching the truth abit) ...at least their giving your money to a fellow countrymen instead of the Chinese.LOL

Why are people so hypocritical about abortion?
If abortion were outlawed and my wife has an intertubular pregnancy, how is that NOT the right-wing being in "complete control" of her body "with respect to reproduction"?
They're bascially telling her that even though there's an 80% chance that she'll die, and a near 0% chance of the baby surviving, tough, the government has outlawed that procedure.
So, being that the premise of your question is wrong, it can be inferred that the rest of the diatribe is wrong, too.

I'm a pro-choice libertarian. It embarasses me that these so-called 'pro-choice' people believed only in freedom of choices when it comes to abortion. So a woman has the right to terminate a pregnancy but she can't manage her own financial decisions? They're truly a quagmire. When you take a pro-choice position, you have to apply it to all cases not just reproductive rights. Economic freedom is an important aspect of being pro-choice. Liberals only believe in freedom to choose your sex partner or to abort an embryo not to decide if you want healthcare or not. They are not true pro-choicers, everyone is entitled to make whatever they want of their bodies. Their choice, not mine.

it's funny that you think that the check you recieve from your employer is what you're really worth to that employer.
if it wasn't for the government you would not be getting a check as big as you are because your company would never pay you that much if there were no restrictions.
and if you didn't want to work for the low wage they'd offer you, they'd give it to someone else.
you are not a boon to your company...you are an expense... it is up to our society and our government to make sure you are treated with dignity and respect as a worker.

I am going to state what I have always known to be true.
When a woman CHOOSES to have sex, and becomes with child, she is responsible for carrying that child to term. She made a choice; now comes the responsibility!
Exceptions can be made in cases of rape and incest.

There's an enormous difference between my body and my paycheck, silly.
Although I suspect your mind's already made up and facts won't sway you.

Are you saying that your money is as important to you as your body?
