If I only queried ONE issue--ABORTION. How does the centrist value differ from both the Left and the Right?? Wouldn't it be surprising if the centrist value WAS equivalent to Left or to Right!

As I see it:

The left thinks the woman has a right to do whatever she wants within her own body. If she wants to do anything that is going on in her body it is no one elses business - including even to ending her own life. They do not consider abortion to be murder.

The right thinks that life is sacred. Any form of life. God created life and only God should be able to end life.

The center view (as I see it):

Everybody agrees (most people) - life is sacred. We should not go around killing each other.

The Bible (whatever) does not have sufficient specificity in defining life (on a moleculer level), but basically we should not do harm to life in any form.

On a secular level, in order to keep order, we need to have rules on preventing people from killing each other. But it is not feasible to protect potential life.

In our form of government, we have separation of church and state.

The state will do all it can to protect human life where we can all agree on the definition of life.

On where we disagree, (the definition of potential life) we have to let God be God. God will be the final judge. Everybody is warned.
