I meant no insult in calling you a liberal. You are capable of compassion and understanding for a woman who murdered her children because the man she wanted didn't want her kids. This is a very liberal instinct. "Liberal" is an out of fashion word now. Many people who are in fact liberals call themselves conservatives or neo-conservatives these days. I have no sympathy for Susan Smith and don't find her circumstances extenuating. I hope she spends the rest of her life in prison. I'd favor the death penalty for her except that I am enough of a sexist that I feel uncomfortable with a woman being executed. She does deserve it though. If I believed as you that the ending of the life of a human embryo from the point of conception is murder, I would be compelled to favor the treatment of women who get abortions - and that includes "silent abortions" by birth control pills and IUD's - as murderers. They should be locked up for lengthy periods and possibly sterilized before being released so they can't murder any more babies. Calling it murder but then not wanting it to be treated harshly seems hypocritical to me.
