like abortion and same sex marriage.
Even though I don't agree with abortion, being pro-choice is an individualist view, because you have the freedom to choose. Passing legislation banning something restricts freedom of choice, like whether or not to have an abortion or who to marry. Banning stuff takes away that freedom and individualism.|||On the "Same Sex Marriage" issue,I have to agree. Since every Abortion consists of the murder of an "Individual",any law that would ban most Abortions would actually be a defense of individual liberty.We give no one but "mothers" the "individual liberty" to order an assassination of another human being.
RWE|||The term "conservative" is imprecise and views among various people labeled as conservatives are far from unanimous. Some people are primarily fiscal conservatives, and others are more concerned with social issues. In my case I am very concerned about excessive government spending and the national debt. On a political level I think more issues should be addressed on a state level to allow for differences in regional beliefs and attitudes.
As for abortion, I can't help but ask what is so damn difficult about using birth control? Proper use of birth control methods could almost make abortion a non-issue. I really don't have a problem with gay marriage, but I don't fully understand why gays would want to make their relationships binding legal contracts. It seems like it would benefit divorce lawyers more than anyone else.
But with the national debt getting close to $13 trillion and with the sky high unemployment I think we have some very serious problems that should take priority, at least for the moment. Labeling people isn't likely to solve these problems.|||Your reasoning is faulty. Conservatives value individual rights. the most precious right is the right to life. Abortion is murder. If the unborn could speak, they would say "Please don't kill me."
The so-called right to abortion was manufactured by the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade. Before that, it was illegal. We have laws against murder.
Homosexuality is an aberration. It does not amount to freedom of choice for the homosexual. No one chooses to be aberrant. Same sex marriage is an attempt to mainstream what is illegitimate behavior. Homosexuality ain't normal.|||You are pro-choice death, that is the difference. The death of a baby seen as a burden on society. Conservatism sees every new baby as a potential asset to society and intends on giving EVERY baby a chance for life, liberty ans the pursuit of happiness. You want a mother to choose for that baby. The baby is innocent how he came into life, and NO MOTHER should ever have the choice of ending it for any baby.|||I'm for civil unions, and I do believe marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. Civil unions can be done through the government, and that way no pastor or priest would go against the church laws, in marrying a same sex couple.
However, I will admit the sky obviously hasn't fallen in since my neighbor to the south (MA) approved gay marriage.
I don't agree with the idea of abortion either, but I am also sensible enough to realize that the only woman whose decision I can control, in relation to that issue, is myself. Should I ever be lucky enough to conceive a baby, and then realize I would not have the means to care for said baby, I prefer to choose adoption over abortion.
But that's my choice... correct?|||It's called the individual rights of the life of the baby. There's a heartbeat just three days after conception so any arguments liberals/neo-cons try to make against the fact that it is a life are mute.
While people have a right to choose to be Satanic (murder babies and be homosexual) we Christians have a choice to stand up for Christ. On Easter Sunday of all day!

You may not like it but that's America. It always has been and it will always be:)
The Satanic liberal/neo-con crowd is constantly trying to cram it's lack of morality down America's throat. So much for your arguments regarding freedom of choice.|||Abortion is legal so that part of your complaint is bogus on it's face. As fo sam sex marriage, places like California had it voted down by Black Democrats who did not support it in droves. Are they conservatives now? What about gun ownership, you side is draconian about that.|||When it comes to morality they want to be involved in everyone else's lives.
When it comes to economics they want the government to stay out.
The Democrats have the two the other way around.
If you want a party that stays out of morality and also out of the free market, there just isn't one.|||You can be for individualism and still ban things which you see as immoral such as abortion, same sex marriage, drug use, or murder.
Anyway they are more for economic individualism. Libertarians are the ones focused completely on personal choice.|||Conservatives generally favor regulation that restricts individualism on the basis of morals.
Abortion is not a matter of freedom of choice. It is the opposite.|||HOW THE F**k IS GIVING INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS TO THE UNBORN NOT INDIVIDUALISM??? as for gay marriage the govt needs to stay out of the rulings of marriage, we have seperation of church and state and liberals need to remeber that!|||How is killing innocent lives "individualism"? And sodomy has no constitutional protection. Marriage, heterosexual or otherwise is not a right.|||well, libertarians and Republicans often disagree on this...
but anyway.... Republicans often want to restrict social freedoms... but seem to want total economic freedoms...
while liberals are the opposite...|||There's two involved in abortion %26amp; SSM is defined as a man %26amp; a women, since before the US.|||They believe in individual freedoms for themselves and anyone just like them. The rest of us must conform.|||Feticide and homosexuality are your definition of freedom and individuality?|||Yeah.
Next thing you know. those "conservatives" will be trying to force all of us to buy health insurance.
