Gee, wouldn't you expect red states to have fewer abortions? Turns out that's not the case. RED-STATE / BLUE-STATE ABORTION RATES COMPARED:
All but one of the ten states with the LOWEST rates of abortion are considered “LIBERAL” :
Liberal 1 Massachusetts 2.4
Liberal 2 Connecticut 2.8
Liberal 3 New Jersey 3.0
Liberal 4 Rhode Island 3.2
Liberal 5 New York 3.3
Liberal 6 Pennsylvania 3.3
Liberal 7 Wisconsin 3.4
Conservative 8 North Dakota 3.4
Liberal 9 Maryland 3.5
Liberal 10 Minnesota 3.6
All but one of the Sixteen states with the HIGHEST rates of abortion are considered “CONSERVATIVE” :

Hmm, is the cry for the unborn actually a sign of guilt, Christian guilt? Or is it just a sign of inbred stupidity and misplaced blame? Any comments?

Lets do some math shall we? For a state to be considered "conservative" there must be a majority of the population that registers and votes as "conservative" correct? And it takes what percentage to be a majority boys and girls? Thats right little Johnny 50.1%. Good job. So in a state like Texas with a population of approximately 25,000,000 people, that leaves how many that could possibly be deemed as "liberals"? Somewhere under 12,500,000.
Now lets not make assumptions either. Not all "conservatives" will be anti-abortion and not all "liberals" will be pro-abortion. Lets also not assume that all "conservatives" are Christians, as we all know that would be absurd.
So you are insinuating that the "conservatives" in such a state as Texas would be anti-abortion due to their guilt? And this guilt is a result of higher abortion rates caused by the other 12,500,000 people in their state that may be pro-abortion? Wow, that is interesting indeed.
I think what you are really looking for is a way to call out "conservatives" as hypocrites. In reality there are so many other factors that influence abortion rates that it is a very wobbly finger you are trying to point. Your issue is not with abortion at all and whether or not it is right or wrong. I have only been a member on this board for a short time and already your distain for others that disagree with your thoughts and beliefs has become apparent to me. Here is an idea, why dont you consider actually contributing something to the political sections of the forum instead of being a punk and trying to start fights with the "conservatives" you hate so much.

War is a state of organized, armed and often prolonged conflict carried on between states, nations, or other parties[1][2] typified by extreme aggression, social disruption, and usually high mortality.[1]
If you dont want your panties in a knot... go somewhere else will ya?
What my esteemed colleague pointed out is just so typical. Entrenched hypocrisy by the group who judges all others but hates when they are held to what they claim. You dont want a torrent of examples do ya? As a matter of fact, it's not hard for 'conned server additives' to say "Someone else said it"... Despite facts.. they trudge on... Denying, delaying and debating the weights and measures of our common, well established FACTS of life..
Who do you think is leading the anti abortion charge? You're right, the conservatives are. Good job man. Now, what do you say about those numbers again?

That's the way the Left operates; attack those who disagree with you. Demonize them. Call them names. Attack their thoughts.
Liberals are not interested in results - they're interested in process. They want to take action even if there's no logical justification for that action. They usually say something like, "do something, anything".
Welcome to Speedzilla. It's refreshing to read a rational post by a thinking individual.
Gog, I must also say that it is my bad for making a comment like that in the war room. Apparently I misconstrued the purpose of the war room to be: to discuss issues of war and the like. Not to be: to start issues of war and the like. My apologies, it wont happen again.

You have something to learn about "this board". I once was like you. It will soon become apparent to you that smack talk is the norm. And many people fear being wrong in the middle of an argument - a lot of big-headed macho men here who are never wrong. I've admitted to being wrong twice and was raked over the coals both times by the known idiots. So what, doesn't bother me. But that's the atmosphere here, just so you know. And since there are currently only about three libs here I find great sport in sticking it to the majority knuckledraggers. I used to be moderate - this board has changed me. The idiocy on the right stands out in a way that the idiocy of the left does not. Religion is one of the best examples of that.
As far as contributing, if you think zero, nycracingstripe-up-his-ass, coRky, etc. are contributing much more than insults then you need to spend some time researching their posts. I've left here several times and it's always because there is nothing coming from the other side but insults. They shot their wads long ago, sad to say. But I still spend some time here because I'm semi-retired and it's somewhat entertaining, and it hones my typing skills.
BTW, good points in rebuttal. I already know all that. It's beside the point. The point is that red states are sanctuaries of hypocrisy, by and large. When it comes to abortion why can't they be pro-life just like I am but still allow a woman to make her own decisions? Taliban? Yeah, Taliban...with a cross.

See, that's why I operate as I do. It's the same tired old BS over and over from the same people. Frankly I have a hard time remembering anything of substance any of them have ever said except, "guns don't kill people, people do". That's about the extent of their insight.

OMFG.. Amazing... Noone can argue that insulting dumb people is fun. Especially dumb hypocrites... But I(we) attack mainly your "facts"... I dont care who you are, you rname could be Dan or ButterFruit.... It doesnt matter where you're from, what color you are, what religion you feign, your gender or heritage. You, on the other hand, are consumed and driven by these things. Right wingers dont know any other way. The 'tailbone' of humanity. That is why you will yourself into a corner with a dunce hat that smothers your eyes, ears, nose but, unfortunately, not your mouth.

The liberals I have listen to are extremely specific and factual. Mr. 'lying Rush Limbaugh'... however.. Did you need to hear your hypocritical Rush'd outright lies and blatant hypocrisy? I dont think you do. You couldnt make up more hateful seditious shite.

Dont pull an intelligent/honest Romney or a Huntsman on him.. Admitting that science is righteous. You will instantly become a 'libsucker' or something worse lol...
