The debate isn't about "should people put up unwanted babies for adoption". It's about "should abortion be banned".
I agree that if people don't want their babies, they should have the choice of putting it up for adoption. But it should not be made compulsory, which is essentially what happens if you ban abortion.
The legal definition of a person is a human being. It does not say it must be human, as in the adjective. It must be a human being. Saying that a fetus is a human being is like saying that a price of hair about to be cloned is a human being. They are both human, both of them are from a human, produced by a human, made of human cells and DNA. The only difference is a fetus has blood. A fetus is not a human. It is human, but in the early stages, it is not a human being. Would you call a piece of flesh cut from someone's body-- no brain, maybe some rudimentary muscles pumping blood, no active nervous system-- a human being? No. A fetus is not a human being, unless the definition were changed to include "anything that will become a human", in which case sperm and eggs would be humans. Hopefully you all now see the gaping logical holes in anti choice arguments.
I am a liberal because I believe progressivism is a virtue! I believe in social tolerance (legalizing gay marriage, abortion etc) I am discontent about the system. I am opposed to how the establishment works. Because I believe the security of the individual is more important than the security of authorities, that's one of the reasons I am opposed to the war on drugs. I believe in civil liberties. I believe isolationism is best for the well being of our national security and national securities worldwide! I am opposed to wiretapping/spying as well which is something both Democrats and Republicans fail to understand is wrong. I am a secular person and I oppose Republican theocracy! I believe in science and reality and believe that Climate Change is a real threat to the planet and I believe the government should get involved in it. I think the government should have a roll in making a better society and make life easier for people, I also think they deserve the financial authority they have to do it. I support the new deal which arguably created a middle class! And I believe regulative capitalism is the furthest system from hierarchy, the new deal kept capitalism away from its hierarchical roots and I say we keep it that way! I am a progressive because I believe that the world would be a much better place if all the people were living for today, as Thomas Jefferson once said "the living should be governed by the living, not the dead."
