The only thing I hate (and that's too evil of a concept to even give it such acknowledgement)... I'll digress and say "that frustrates me about the "LEFT" is that I'm not as coordinated with it as I am with the right.
.
If I could view the world and people with such simplicity as categorizing them into two boxes; "left" and "right" , I would probably have less gray hairs. But hey, I'm vain and I pull them any way.
I think that the reason that I have any hair on my head at all is because I don't truly hate, judge, or condemn anyone with whom I've absolutely no god given right to do so. Why should I when they're already hanging themselves with their own rope (as is usually the case with everyone). I do not feel that this is the same as condoning as many of you may feel.
SHOOTALL, you asked me if I really believed that no one (friends, family, and community) are not effected, and my answer is NO. NOT DIRECTLY OR PHYSICALLY (which is where the line of the law and the extent of how much power we want to grant to the govt. starts to get dangerously fuzzy). Usually, the effects are emotional and psychological.
By the time I was seventeen years old, I had witnessed robberies, murders, assaults, and been exposed to just about every form of moral vice you can name, and not just through strangers but within my circle of family, friends, and close community as well. YES, it had
emotional effects upon me and I suppose some psychological effects 
. But I think that my generation is one of the last that was fortunate enough to inherit the mental, emotional, and psychological RESILlIENCE of the last great generation.
Don't get me wrong, when somebody was DIRECTLY and physically effected, we as a community would expect the law to be enforced by putting the offender in a cage like an animal. And when the law fell short for whatever reason, the community very DISCREETLY, and only with absolute proof and without anger or judgement, very quietly and coldly handled things. It was that close knit.
Examples: lets say that my daughter gets pregnant out of wedlock and has an abortion; questions to ask: did I do my best as a parent to raise her with sexual morality and morality in general?
Here's the big one: WAS MY BEST SUFFICIENT ENOUGH. AND WITH YET FURTHER INTROSPECTION:will people do what they are going to do any way? Yes, I'd be very disappointed in her , but also looking at myself. Many women do this on a regular basis, a don't care. And yet many women who have done once live with guilt for the rest of there lives. I have seen this. And I could never truly know what they were experiencing (whens the last time YOU were pregnant).
I won't throw "left" and "right" labels as to me people are PEOPLE, but I see it as contradictory for one side to advocate less government in our lives and yet call upon the government to regulate morality. I understand that you're view is that this is outright murder, and why you would see my view for the advocating for the ALREADY BORN as a cop out (as you said).
And as far as it taking two to Tango, I just don't wan't to get any further into hair splitting semantics (particularly over the boundaries of a woman's body) of the abortion issue as this is about
"why the hate" My true aim at delving into this issue is to try and show that PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY CAN COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER AND ATTEMPT TO EMPATHIZE (not sympathize) without losing the high ground by resorting to pointless, judgmental, and closed minded labeling and name calling.
I feel that once we've dropped down to such tactics, we have run out of "intellectual powder and cannon balls" and ideas, and have lowered ourselves to slingin'. mud. ARE WE NOT MEN? ARE WE NOT BETTER THAN THAT?
I feel no anger or hatred towards anyone who doesn't live the way I live or who does not share my exact ideology so long as they aren't robbing, raping, or murdering , and especially dropping bombs on or imposing martial law upon yours or mine (but then it becomes a DIRECT problem that PHYSICALLY interferes with the "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" of yours and mine). But their personal choices of behavior are their own problems and not mine or my children's as I've tried to raise them to be able to comprehend the potential pitfalls of such choices.
Anything beyond that is beyond my personal span of control and I certainly would not crusade to further empower the govt. (like it needs any more power) with the hanging rope that people provide quite well for themselves.
