Would you support a presidential candidate that supported abortion?

Well would you?

I believe that any person--Democrat or Republican--who supports abortion is wrong and should not be allowed to run this great country. If you want to support abortion, go to Canada. So I refuse to support such a candidate.

I don't think very many people "support" abortion, per se, they merely support a woman's right to choose. Most pro-choice people I know are personally very anti-abortion, but know that their feelings should not dictate what a woman does with her body.

Well, thankfully, I and most of the US are not going to listen to you. I would not support a canadate who wants to strip away a woman's right to choose because it's her choice, NOT mine OR yours.

I believe anyone who could, with a straight face, support anything Ann Coulter spouts is about 50 cards short of a full deck.
I dunno, if you count the jokers in there I'd say that's a few cards too many. ;)

Actually, while I do support the right to choose I also support abortion in principle; as it is the single most effective method of cutting crime rates.

I would not support "the murderer" I would support the pro-choice candidate. The one who cares about people more than fetuses (which are not people), who opposes letting women die giving birth, and who opposes allowing real people (i.e. not fetuses) to suffer terrible, crippling defects that leave them unable to live life without pain.

Does that mean that you support the murderer?

Well, that depends on how he wants to do it. A Universal ban on child birth would cause a number of back-alley pregnancies, and would be pretty dull and authoritarian anyway.
I would, however, support a proposal to institute abortions via lottery, terminating a random 100 pregnancies every week. They could even hold the drawings from 11:00 PM to 11:20 PM EST on Sundays, giving me something to watch on TV during NSG's downtime. I think that pregnance in the West has gotten to dull and predictable anyway, what with infant mortality so low and all that, and the added drama of not knowing whether the fetus would survive from one week to the next would insure that the mothers never grew bored or complacent.

Because some people would use their opinion to get people to vote for them, and in turn trample on their rights when they're elected to office?

For your pleasure, a sample of ACI's nation:

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail industries.

The Navy has outraged the international community by sinking a boatload of refugees to prevent them reaching the shore, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, a spate of enforced closures has left 'Government FM' as the nation's only radio station, and military service is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Ann Coulters Ideology's national animal is the leftist fool, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the well written novel.

It's not the opinion that's so bad -- it's your namesake's penchant for schoolyard insults like "faggot". There are better conservative idols to have.

Okay, Kanabia, you can stop trolling now. Shame shame.

No, seriously, the poll is horridly biased and the thread introduced in a manner that is nigh idiotically biased towards one side of an argument AND includes the poster telling people to go to Canada if they don't like something our great country[sic] does...so why is this thread still around?

Most people (politicians) who say that are trying to play both sides of the... well I can't remember the exact saying :P Anyway, if a person truly is against abortion because they believe its murder, than it doesnt make sense for them to support a woman's choice to have an abortion. To someone who truly was against abortion, that would be like: "Well, they have a right to do what they want, including murder people who cut in front of them in line at the supermarket." For anyone who truly is against abortion and considers it to be murder, it is just as bad as murdering someone at the supermarket (except for that the murderer might not be mentally sound because of the situation they're going through, facing pregnancy) Whether you personally are for or against abortion, I think its obvious that it is inconsistent for someone who truly objects to abortion to say, "Well, that's their choice."

No, I'd rather you make your point without have to, as your namesake does, insult people like a six year old. Given that the man is married and has children, what evidence is there that he "chooses to live in a homosexual lifestyle" other than that he does not think that there should be a constitutional amendment against same sex marriage?

Even now they're probably sitting completely naked around a burning pile of American flags, eating fetuses and laughing at how your foolish capitalist populace are unwittingly playing directly into the wicked schemes of their smoke-filled commune.

To be fair, my cousin's father got married and fathered him, and he's gay. Not saying Edwards is, but still.

True enough, but if someone's gonna say something about someone, it's only fair they back it up...
