What am I? Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or Independent?

[Ryantology]

Soul searching about whether I can be consistent and vote for someone who is not anti capital punishment.....not about whether I should give up my pro-life position. I find the pro-life position allows for a much more consistent world view. Consistency in my world view is very important to me.

I wasn't asking you to give up your pro-life position. I was asking you to consider how pro-life you really are considering how Republican policies only ever exacerbate demand for abortions by keeping people impoverished, health care inaccessible and limiting access to contraceptives and family planning resources, and every vote you cast for one only makes worse the problem you want to solve.

I was asking you to think about how many abortions you're really going to stop simply by voting to make the procedure illegal, as opposed to voting to alleviate the economic problems and social stigmas that overwhelmingly compel women to seek this option.

Voting to kill human beings through capital punishment makes your position inconsistent, but that's far from the only consistency problem you have. You vote for people who advocate refusing to provide basic necessities to people who can't afford them, who deny affordable healthcare to millions of Americans, and who start wars that kill thousands of innocent people, just because you might save some fetuses (many of whom will grow up in poverty thanks in part to the votes you cast). This is about as magnificently inconsistent a position as I can imagine someone holding. From what I gather, you believe that life, and the rights accorded to the living, begin at conception and end at birth.
