OK, since you apologized, I will too and I'll answer your question, IMHO.
I think it's more of being anti-war and seeing that some people just shouldn't have kids.
Yes there are many families waiting to adopt, that that number is FAR fewer then the number of abortions performed that year.
Won't be able to until there can be 100% birth control, other than abstinence, as anyone with a brain knows that just will not work, Bristol proved that!
So in conclusion, I believe liberals feel that way because they are anti-over population (eco friendly), and because they are so anti-war that it spills over into the prisoner category.

How is it that liberals are against torture but pro abortion? So its not ok to torture your enemy but it is ok to end your childs life? Can someone please explain?

Ouch, 1000 points, fear the mods.
I also find that there is a misrepresentation in the pro abortion crowd. The conservative position is called Pro-Life, so shouldn't the other side of the argument be called Pro-Death? It's usually the hippie liberal douches that will save a 1000 baby seals before they save a human being, messed up ideology.

same way conservatives are pro-life and pro-hunting.
your question is pretty flawed. yes there is a contradiction. welcome to human beliefs.
plus i dont think either ones are really contradiction.
they aren't pro-abortion. thats a slanted way to phrase it. they are pro-choice. they want women to be able to choose what to do with their bodies.
pro-abortion tends to imply that liberals absolutely love abortions.

In the same way that you neocons/ religious right can support the death penalty but not abortion.
It's all about constitutionality. Torture is unconstitutional (freedom from cruel and unusual punishment), and that should be the end of it. It can't be linked to another point in order to justify it.
