There is virtually no logic, or consistency, from the so-called conservative side of America anymore. Certainly the left is far from perfect, but at least they aren't quite so busy telling others how to live as "pro-lifers" who can concurrently opposed gun laws and public health care or education. It is ALL about control of women and the "other" while wrapped in the flag and holding a bible.

I tire of how the abortion debate has been characterized by many who engage in it. The IVF debacle is one more example. To be blunt those who are anti-abortion are snobs, elitist who believe women are incompetent, unable, and too ignorant to exercise control over their own lives. Women may be able to drive school buses full of squirmy children on a field trip, perform delicate surgical procedures, try cases in front of the Supreme Court, head up Fortune 500 companies or government agencies that affect everyone’s lives and raise the next generation, but they are not capable according to these “saviors of mankind” of assessing and deciding for themselves the material, economic, emotional, physical, and spiritual consequences of having or not having an abortion. Of course, given the obvious intellectual and spiritual superiority of those who oppose abortion, they need to take away the agonizing decision many face because those who would abort an unviable fetus or remove the necessary support for a mass of undifferentiated cells will obviously make the wrong decision. No doubt none of these snobs and elitists would warrant any “liberal” intervening in their lives in matters important to them because after all they will always make the right decision.
