I was watching the Dem. Town hall meeting on TV and the question was asked of both Bernie and HRC and they basically both answered yes to Do you support abortion any time for any reason and they both said YES. Do Liberals that support either of these two really support a woman's right to abort her baby up to her due date for any reason???

Who DOESN'T support abortion? Really? This case is from 1973. We've had five democrat and five republican presidents since then, NEITHER of whom have made ANY moves to abolish it or repeal it. So while I appreciate the zeal in looking for things to "hate the other party for" I think we can honestly say that the nation as a whole isn't in too much of a hurry to do away with it anytime soon.

As a side issue, I feel that if adoption was more affordable and less financially/emotionally dangerous, more people would do it. Who wants to pay $100000+ for a baby that the judge can come back 10 years later and GIVE BACK to the parents? Sorry. Not going there. Change adoption and abortion goes away/drops considerably.

Do Conservatives really support the right to bear arms of any kind at any place for any reason? I think the reason most would say yes is because laws that curtail rights usually are a slippery slope to more laws that curtail even more rights --just look at the current state of affairs with abortion rights in Texas. Even in VA, lawmakers are continuously trying to restrict abortion laws through legislation, like requiring a sonogram or counselling. All these laws have the same point --to slowly whittle away at the right to choose. So my point is that gun laws and abortion laws are almost the same sort of situation, if you let a little regulation seep in, it slowly turns into a lot of regulation.

Capt (Join to see) - Straw man. The point is no one has stopped it or tried to stop it. President's don't veto? Senators and congressfolk don't obstruct? Please captain... Not a single conservative politician since Nixon has tried to ban or overturn it or obstruct it or defund it. Obviously we won't go in to the "liberal" track record as you'll naturally assume that they all love it and want it.

Presidents can not veto a court decision. Many states have enacted restrictions on abortions only to have them overturned by the courts.

But, all of the talk is worthless. The only way abortion will stop is when people teach that it is wrong.

The fact is we teach that the fetus is not a human being. We teach that abortion is a woman's right because it is her body. We fail to teach that the baby is a new body and a new living being.

I didn't watch the debate(s) as they are bad for my blood pressure, but out of some curiosity, just what did she say her position was on such a leading question..?
