This is mostly a US Christian Conservative obsession...not conservatism in general. *NM*

How can so many conservatives (or pretty much all of them since they are so partisan it is ridiculous, though the liberals are too) be both pro-life and pro-gun. This just baffles me. The best I can come up with is that they have decided it is not okay to knowingly kill someone who hasn't had a chance at life, but when you accidentally kill someone who has established a life (whether good or bad) then it isn't really a big deal. I mean, is this right, or am I just missing something?

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

I think you're confusing "pro life" with "anti killing."

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

Just going by party platforms, candidate/officeholder statements and proposed/enacted law.

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

"Love your brother as you love yourself" is about self-improvement?

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.

That is a very good point, too, one that had never occurred to me.

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

Joel, I'm going to strongly suggest you don't try to discuss anything political with me

"...all of this operates on a principle that says that you do not take life without a good cause..."

You are still missing the point, but at least you're trying

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

Discussing Supreme Court rulings on abortion in detail is not *NM*

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.
