At various times I have occupied and passionately defended nearly every point on the abortion spectrum Aemon referenced. At this stage though that basically means I have shared and therefore can sympathize with enough of the various positions to realize there is no easy resolution, or even much consensus on specifics, so my default position is respecting liberty of conscience so no one imposes the consequences of their beliefs on people who dispute them.

I don't understand many things about Conservatives but one thing baffles me more than most.

It sounds like you have a very specific view of what each position constitutes.

For what it is worth, you and I are not so far apart on abortion.

Conversely, how can liberals be pro-abortion but anti-death penalty?

In my case, because of the areas certainty exists and those where it is impossible.

So abortion is OK to save a pregnant womans life? Prevent her maiming? A childs lifelong torment?

Abortion is "not germane" to asking how one can reconcile opposing abortion while supporting guns?

Not in detail, just in both citing "good cause," yet interpreting it VERY differently.

My biggest problem with that from a religious perspective is preempting the chance to repent.
