Lately we've seen liberals up in arms, foaming at the mouth about the mistreatment of the likes of KSM or Abu Zubaydah. Yet laws passed during the Bush administration lay out unprecedented rights of due process for the most vicious killers known to man: Vicious killers who gleefully violate every law and every right of man and nation-state. All detainees have the right to challenge their detention in federal court. They have numerous due process rights during their tribunal, and they have the right to appeal a tribunal's conviction. America has bathed our would-be murderers in a vast spa of Constitutional rights - the likes of which no honorable, law-abiding enemy POW ever received in any other American war.
Abortion is the arbitrary killing of an unborn innocent human being, who has been denied any due process rights.
I find it starkly amazing that anyone could find it deplorable that we might harm a single hair on a bloodthirsty terrorist's head without due process rights at every step, and yet they don't bat an eye when we de-brain a viable fetus in the birth canal. Do you suppose that that fetus wanted to have its skull punctured? It's brain vacuumed out? Shouldn't we at least hold a single little hearing - to determine if the health/convenience of the mother overrides the baby's right to life?
Liberals: Can we please have a little consistency here?

I think the term "liberal" is being misused these days. Frankly I find it appauling that "conservatives" are pro-life but are pro-gun and pro-war, what about that? Anyway, the point is is that both sides are remarkably inconsistent which is why I side with neither party.
As for me, I am against elective abortion, but not emergency abortions in the case of the life of the mother, or if the child is to be born incestuously. I am NOT be partial birth abortion. Period.
Secondly, I thought people were innocent until proven guilty in this country? If someone seems like a terrorist, does that make him a terrorist? I thought everyone deserves the right to a fair trial.
"I am NOT be partial birth abortion. Period." Means, I am against partial birth abortion.
Conservatives like me are pro-life, because unborn life is innocent - purely innocent. Abortion is the DELIBERATE taking of that innocent life.
Conservatives are "pro-gun" because gun ownership is a Constitutional right, and crucial to the ability of a free people to defend themselves, their property, and their families from the threat of violence.
"Pro-war," because any nation must be able to defend itself from attack, and retaliate following an attack in order to destroy an ongoing threat from an aggressor state. Do innocent people die in war? Absolutely, but that is unintentional, accidental, and regrettable. It is also unavoidable. Unlike abortion, where the taking of innocent life is intentional.
