Abortion has nothing to do with "Human X is better than human Y", rather that the rights of one do trump those of the other. This is not a foreign concept. It's the reason why killing someone else in a situation where such defense is actually necessary not to die is usually acceptable. Their right to live and act does not extend over your right to live in that case. And way to go with Godwin's law. Firstly, the Nazi's didn't even see Jews as beings with any rights whatsoever, and Native Americans, weren't exactly seen as being comparable to whites. Tell me how this is comparable to getting an abortion?
Abortion is the lawful killing of a human being. It is legal/allowed because we value the human beings doing the killing more than we value the human beings killed. The NAZI's killed the Jews because they valued Aryan human beings more than the valued Jewish human beings. The two genocides are comparable. The two genocides are precipitated by the same ideology....that it is okay to kill some human beings because they have less value. I reject this ideology.....it is evil.

In what sense are most abortions killing? Do you consider cuts and skin flakes to be killings too? Because what is killed in abortions is about as human as those entities, i.e they each have human DNA, but they are not persons at all. Do you want legal protections for my all my body cells?
The Nazis didn't kill the Jews simoly because they valued them less, they killed in droves them because they were seen as scum of the Earth, in need of being exterminated. Comparing this to abortion is, again, just moronic.

Gay marriage is a right. I keep in mind that our constitution is pretty clear. The right to pursue happiness. We don't have to agree with it, but it is a right constitutionally.
I too support gay marriage but be careful with the argument of happiness, it can be used for good and bad purposes

"Persuit of happiness" isn't in the Constitution. Its in the Declaration of Independence.

Healthcare: Against Obamacare, Against Single payer, no problem with government building hospitals, hiring/training health care and/or contracting with health care providers to provide health care to anyone who wants it for no cost. However a private health care market should not be restricted.

Minimum wage: there should be none.
Discrimination laws: people and businesses should be free to discriminate. They should be able to hire and fire whoever they want, when ever they want for any reason.

Subsidies: There should be no subsidies.
Military spending: Not opposed to cutting it, but we should have the best military in the world.....hands down.

As you have told us you are a one issue voter the rest of your positions don't matter. As you have never given a decent argument against a woman's right to choice, that position doesn't matter either.
Conclusion you are a cunt.

It is not picking nits. The Declaration of Independence is not a governing document. It was simply a notice to Great Brittian telling them to go fuck themselves.
