You might say they're "thick as a brick."

Of course, the simple solution is to phase out Social Security and let Americans use that ~15% of their earnings each year to fund their own retirements, maybe paying off a home mortgage faster, saving it for retirement, funding the kid's education so the kid has the wherewithal to take care of the parents in their old age, etc. |

As for abortion, I don't like abortions but support abortion rights to 15 weeks. Especially bans that include rape are insane. Those are all religious motivated laws. I oppose late term abortions except for a serious risk to the mothers life. 15 weeks are sufficient to make that decision. Some women don't even know that they are pregnant after 6 weeks, so banning abortion at that stage is not acceptable. FACT about abortion is that legality or lack thereof does not change the abortion rate. Abortions still happen, either out of state/country or illegally. Look at Philippines and Brazil. ILLEGAL abortions there and yet, they have more abortions than the US. Then look at Austria which has LEGAL, GOVERNMENT PAID abortions and the abortion rate in Austria is 1/10 of that in the US. Both, gay marriage and total abortion bans are laws based on religion. |

Abortion is about religion. If you don't believe that a SOUL exists, a embryo is nothing but cells that can't even feel pain. I support the abortion policy that was in place when our founders were alive. Abortion was 100% legal in all states to Quickening (15 - 20 weeks) and states could restrict it after that. |

I go with our founders on that one. Abortion was legal to quickening (occurs between 15 and 19 weeks) in all states when our founders were alive. States were allowed to restrict abortions after a woman was quick with child. This was the policy then and should be the policy today.

Other than that, 12 - 15 weeks would work just fine for me. I just have an issue with bans that occur before a woman doesn't even know that she is pregnant. |

As a Libertarian, I'm left leaning on social issues (but not to the extremes that the left go to) but extremely right leaning on fiscal issues. That said, I don't vote based on social issues but that doesn't change the fact that I lean on the side of individual liberties. I'm not hypocritical like the left and the right when it comes to personal liberties. Libs want to infringe on gun rights and the right to keep most of my paycheck and the right wants to force Christian morality on everyone with anti gay and anti abortion laws. |

I would probably agree about the anti abortion laws BUT the claim that the right is "anti gay" is utter bullshit. How is the right "anti gay"? |

Before the Supreme Court ruling, several RED states had laws preventing same sex marriage. There is no non religious reason why same sex couples can't have the same benefits of opposite sex couples. Let's face it, this was denying them tax benefits, visitation rights or inheritence rights.
