And we are back to labels again. The extremists (eg, Uncle Jacque) would have us believe that anyone who calls himself a liberal must be pro-abortion and that all conservatives are, as a matter of course, "pro-life". This is a very troubling issue, and one that is hardly black-and-white. A true "liberal", according to Webster, is a person who is open-minded and tolerant of other points of view.

As a liberal who is pro-choice, anti-gun control (except for the personal ownership of assault rifles), pro-death penalty, anti-discrimination for any reason than ability and pro-draft, I believe that everyone has the right to their own opinion, and that this right ends where my right to the same begins.
