talk all the crap you like, he will be the potus

I whole-heartedly agree with you on this jhall.  Pro-choice what a hypocritical term, the baby doesn't get much of a choice.  And Obama is spineless for not taking a stand either way, typical politician.

Couple of things:

1. Saying that it is above his pay grade is an easy out. We all know where Barrack 'Don't say my middle name you racist' Obama stands on this issue. Just because he didn't answer the question in front of a crowd that would have booed him if he explained his views, doesn't mean that he doesn't have an opinion. He views and votes from being an state congressmen to being a Senator, to his "I don't want my daughters to be punished with a baby speech," Barrack 'Don't say my middle name' Obama is very clear on where he is on abortion and when he feels a life begins.

2. Don't think that we are making an opinion on God's behalf, or proclaiming that we are acting on His behalf. We are making a choice that we believe God will find correct. I for one wouldn't want to stand before him and explain why I ended an innocent life. Would you? What is the problem with erroring on the side of caution when it comes to a childs life? You took the actions to before pregnant, time to be an adult and face the reality of what you did.

3. TurnsWithBlinkerUser, we can debate the Death Penalty any time. Start a new thread.

4. Here is where I don't understand liberals. You believe in the right of a women to choose after she has made the choice to have sex and she knows the consequences, at the cost of a live of an innocent child, then on the flip side, will march and protest for the life of a criminal, to make sure that a convicted murder has a shot at life? Why do liberals not care about a child's life, but will seem to give it all to save a murderer? No one can ever answer that question directly, because they don't have an answer. Anyone care to try? I would love to make sense of the position you guys take.

5. TurnsWithBlinkerUser: Just a tip for you. George W Bush isn't running for re-eletion. The candiates are Barrack 'Don't say my middle name' Obama and John McCain. Maybe if you did a little research, you would know this......

Wow, I stopped reading halfway through. The fact that you would actually compare an unborn baby to criminals and burglars is beyond stupid (and I am against the death penalty, btw). I thought those against Obama were considered to be the "heartless" ones.  Guess not.

And I could not have said it any better....Thank You.

O Rly?

1. Being charged and being convicted are 2 different things...

2. not ALL states do this..

Texas man NOT charged in death of unborn child in DUI

 Illegal Immigrant NOT charged for killing mother & Unborn child in North Carolina

I don't believe it's right to take a life -- any life.  For this reason, I am opposed to the death penalty. 

However, I also do not believe (as McCain does) that life begins at the "moment of conception."  (If McCain truly believes that, then he should be opposed to the morning after pill and IUD's, which prevent a fertilized zygote -- life!, according to McCain and many conservatives -- from implanting in the uterus.)

So to answer your question, some liberals (such as myself) can reconcile the two positions because they don't believe that abortion costs a life at all, whereas they know that capital punishment does.

That said, while I do consider myself pro-choice, I would choose to "err on the side of caution," as another poster put it.  I just don't feel that I'm qualified to make that determination for others, much less support legislation that would do so.
