An anti-abortion stance is philosophically defensible as is the abortion rights side. If I may, what are your views on; The right to same sex marriage? The right of employers to refuse to hire based on sexual orientation? The right to refuse service based on sexual orientation of the customer? The inclusion of lgbt in military service? The right of the lgbt to adopt? Equal pay for women as a legal mandate? I'm framing these questions as rights and perhaps you don't. Just wondering where you stand.

If you REALLY believed what you claimed to believe, you would behave much differently than the way you do. Why am I correct about that? You should think things through. As a helpful start, pick a metric like $ that we spend on problems related to human life (health issues) and then see if the way we spend money reflects a belief that human life has equal value from conception to old age death. It should be VERY clear that no one actually believes that by this metric. The same is true for pretty much all other metrics I can think of. As a defender of conservative values, please do make a cogent argument for your claims.
