Reply #21: I'm more liberal on some issues and less on others

[noonwitch]

Mainly on gun rights-I used to think handguns should be banned, but I have changed my mind after living in Detroit for 12 years. I still don't own one myself, but I can see why people have them.

I still support Roe v Wade as the law of the land, but I am more tolerant of the other side's opinion than I used to be, and support their efforts to some degree to offer women alternatives-as long as they are honest about their intent.

My opinion of the death penalty hasn't changed, but I do understand why people support it. I never will, even if I don't mourn for people like Ted Bundy when they are executed.

But really, my actual views when it comes to what the law should say haven't changed much as I got older.
