OK, you can answer anyway you like but here is my suggestion.

If you are basically against capital punishment give yourself 33 points
if you are against the war in Iraq give yourself 33 points
and (to make it add up to 100) 34 points for being anti legalized abortions
(allowing for reasonable exceptions such as the life of the mother etc etc)

option 3 for me

This is the stupidest poll.  I am 100% pro-life, which pertains to abortion, but not 100% anti-death b/c I support the death penalty.  And the war in Iraq is a defense issue, not a life or death one.

What about pre-natal care and children's healthcare.  Do they deserve to suffer, be born premature/stillborn or with birth defects, and lack simple preventitive care (or catastrophic care should they have a medical emergency), because they commited the sin of being born to poor parents?

Or are you really pro-wedge issue, and couldn't care less about young children (much less adults), and whether they live or die.

There are a few conservatives who are honestly  pro-life - the whole 9 yards.  They believe not only in punishment of those they hate (and are not  fixated on hate over thier reverence for life), but in securing life for all, helping the poor, and if not opposing war having some sort of concept of criteria for a 'just war' in which they consider it a nessisary evil in seeking to save more lives than are lost in the conflict.

But you, you're very screenname shows you as one who is fixated on opposition and hostility, rather than any constructive ideology.

Perhaps you will grow out of it and become an outstanding conservative someday.  Or perhaps you will remain a shallow parody of conservatism like the shrill charlitans who get so much media attention like Coulter or O'Reiley.  It's you're choice really.

Here's another problem, liberals get higher pro-life scores than conservatives, not even a liberal will tell you that is the way it should turn out

Why not?

If life is so precious, why  is governmental help with pre and post-natal care frowned upon by some (stereotyped as "right" or "Conservative" on the linear model from the 18th century French parlament) as some sort of 'socialism' (or 'cooties' or whatever slur is popular now).  Is worship of mammon more important than the livelyhood of a young child who's poverty is no fault of their own.

If you want a stereotype, how about this one:

age <0 Conservatives pro-life, Liberals pro-death.

0 < age < age at which an individual is termanally ill and/or brain dead:  Conservatives pro-death, Liberals pro-life.

After becoming termanally ill (if of sound mind and body) and/or brain dead: Conservatives pro-life, Liberals pro-death.

Does that work for anyone?
