I think the only reason why liberals support partial birth abortions is because it is just a stepping stone. They don't want to give an inch for it could lead to giving up a mile. I think most would relinquish PBAs if they could be assured that it would not lead to a complete ban. I mean really, PBAs are barbaric and really irresponsible, and shouldn't ever need to be performed. However, I think the fear of all abortions being banned in this current political climate is warrented, and for that alone I worry.
I agree Ustwo, taxation definitely limits one's freedoms. I think one of the best ways to cut taxes in the long run is by not over spending. I mean for every dollar we are in debt we have to pay back with interest. If we simply paid upfront for what we spent, not only could taxes in the long run drop (due to no longer paying off interest), but we could possibly be a net lender again and start drawing money into this country instead of shipping it out. So far this new breed of Republicans (Reagan and Bush Jr) haven't been very responsible in this respect.
