Embryo abortion: Not sure what you mean, I've never heard this term
It just means abortion-on-demand for a baby that is not yet a fetus.

I'm assuming by morning after pill, you mena the actual morning after pill and not Ru 486.
No, I meant Ru 486 and that's why I said "no" to it.  Too late to correct that now for all the people who responded.

To all of you anti-death penalty pro-abortionists,  You support killing innocent children, but not the worst of our society? Pretty sick I must say.

Very simply, life begins at birth. Most abortions are in the first trimester, and these "partial-birth abortions" are quite rare and are usually to save the life of the woman, or something.
The "health of the mother," according to the Supreme Court, includes 'emotional anguish related to having a child out of wedlock.'

Life does not begin at birth.  Explain why it's illegal to kill a baby born prematurely at 26 weeks, but it's okay to cut up a fetus that's 38 weeks old.

Euthanasia: no
Human cloning: undecided
Death penalty for juveniles: no
Death penalty for retarded: no
Death penalty for others: no
Partial-birth abortion: no
Parental consent for abortion: yes
Parental notification for abortion: yes
Abortion for rape and incest: no
Embryo abortion: no
Fetus abortion: no
Infanticide: no
"Morning after" pill: no
Withdraw troops from Afghanistan: no
Withdraw troops from Iraq: yes
Lynching: no
House bombing: no

Now this here is a Democrat that I could vote for.  Take note everyone.  This type of Democrat is a good Democrat.
In general, you won't meet too many Southern Democrats who support abortion, unless you count John Edwards, or Al Gore (who flip-flopped).  The tolerance of the Democratic Party in the South should be a model for the nation, and then we can have pro-life Democrats in national office.

How many Democrats are in the Senate in the south? Being wishy washy doesn't win elections.
I'm not sure I get what you're saying.  How is being an anti-abortion Democrat from the South being wishy washy?

I cant believe anyone would approve of Euthanasia.
I agree; if people think it's ok to put down a sick person or a handicapped child we're treating ourselves like dogs.

If someone is terminally ill, in excruciating pain, and wants to be euthanized.  Who am I to tell them no?
If the government endorses suicide it may as well endorse all forms of murder (it's already done so with abortion).  If someone's in excruciating pain, then we should try to find a cure, not kill them.  Think of all the untreated diseases / medical problems that could never have cures found thanks to euthanasia.

In many places, attempting suicide is illegal.  But... if a person wants to kill themselves successfully, they do not need the help of the government.
