But even a Democrat, even an anti-war/anti-death penalty Democrat crosses the line when they preach to another human being. There is absolutely no congruency between supporting a political policy and meddling and judging another family's personal life.

The soldier made a choice to go into the military. (usually) The convict made a choice to commit an egregious crime. (hopefully it is not a set-up) A woman just accidentally got pregnant...or is unprepared to support it...or criminally got pregnant...or is not healthy enough to carry to term. An unwanted vaginal wand inserted as a kind of Premier Showing for all to see is a bit more personal than holding up an anti-war sign.

JMHO.
