200. You don't understand the difference between running your own life and running other people's?
I don't drink alcohol or do drugs. I guess that means I need to support the idiotic drug war, and to try to bring back prohibition while I'm at it, eh?

There are plenty of people who are personally opposed to abortion yet don't feel the need to use the LAW to impose their belief on others. There are lots of people who believe that life begins at the second of conception but not only realize that others draw the line elsewhere, they also comprehend that it would be complete fucking insanity to try to grant 14th amendment rights to single cells... as the anti-choice crowd wants to.

That's why The Majority of Americans are Pro-Choice. Did you know that? You can be forgiven for not realizing it. The Corporate Media, with their bullshit about the all powerful "values voter", likes to pretend that personal freedom and reproductive choice are somehow losing issues for us. It's quite the reverse.

I guess some folks are missing that gene that makes certain other people want (sorry, "need") to run everyone else's fucking life. Weird, huh?
