    Fightthetheocray...final post

    I don't vote on any one issue. I'm a conservative and vote for the most conservative candidate be it Repub or Dem. Abortion is not in the top 5 most important issues for me. You brought up abortion and gay marriage first.

    Obama stated in the debate that knowing when a fetus gets human rights is "above his pay grade". And you mentioned that I would have to prove to you when life begins. Does is not seem odd that when in doubt in an uncertain situation that you would side with death? Is this line of reasoning logical in say death penalty cases? If in doubt about guilt...kill?
