I don't know if I count as being on the left or not, but I think that I'm closer to the Dems than Reps, and I'm firmly against abortion. I also believe that the rape/incest exception is stupid and completely illogical as officepark said.
This is an arbitrary place to put this, but your emphasis on your identification as communitarian has always puzzled me. Communitarianism isn't a thing. There are no communitarian works, nor are there communitarian movements, because there is no such thing as a communitarian ideology. It's nothing more than a quadrant on the Political Matrix. I find the way you constantly talk about how socially conservative you are rather strange, because it's an odd way to view the world. Generally it's only libertarians who separate their worldview into discrete economic and social sections. A value system (and, really, our PM scores are all in some way reflections of our own value systems) isn't the sort of thing that is chopped up into portions, which are then reassembled to form a label by which we can identify ourselves (again, except for libertarians). My PM score might be in the upper left quadrant, but I don't identify with that quadrant because it's naught but a quadrant. What matters are the beliefs that underlie that score, and there's no such thing as communitarian beliefs.
