"err on the side of life" is not an empty one-liner slogan spouted by the right to kill any further debate. Whether you believe it or not, that is actually how some people feel. That it is more important to them to be overly cautious and let someone live than to not. There might be more to these "right-wing one-liners" than regurgitation from some daily memo. The reason so many people are on the right is not because they are stupid and are easily seduced by quick snippits, but rather they are aware of their own beliefs. A lot of times these beliefs are similar within ideological divisions, it only makes sense that they would sound the same.
I think a lot of people on the left have a hard time accepting the fact that a lot of people are conservative, one way or another, and they think they are conservative only because they are stupid in-bread hicks that would believe anything as long as it sounds good and hippies don't support it. Well sorry, thats not how it works. A lot of people make up their minds for themselves, they just agree with each other once they do.
