I hear what you are saying, but the government infringes on the "right to privacy" all of the time. I can't smoke weed in the privacy of my own home, I lcan't have sex with a minor, I can't look at pictures of naked 8 year olds on the internet, I can't decide that I no longer want to take care of my child, I can't be married to 2 men at the same time and a whole bunch of other stuff. These are all things that, in my opinion, could be seen as "family issues", but the government has seen fit, for the good of society, to restrict these things. Why are these things taboo and not abortion. I can see the whole "When is the baby alive" issue, but the fact remainds that in the US it is stil legal to kill/abort the child until it is born. Studies have shown that unborn children feel and as you said, are vaiable earlier and earlier. Back in the day if a baby was born after 6 months it would surely die, now, it stands a chance. Medical advances are such that it may even be less than that one day.

To get back on topic, support of abortion is the biggest problem I have with the Democratic party.

You bring up some very good points...and I think many Democrats have a problem with the issue of abortion..but I guess it gets weighed against other factors when you're determining who to vote for....like a balancing act. But for some...killing babies is an issue that tips the scales.
