Les I am with you a bit on that. I don't want the government telling me what to do, but I also don't trust the rest of the idiots out there to do the right things.

Also, wouldn't being pro-abortion pretty much force you to the left? That has to factor pretty high on this scale.

I've never met anyone that is pro-abortion. Pro-choice maybe, but I have yet to see a throng of people standing outside a maternity ward demanding that expectant mothers abort their babies or nutjobs shooting Obstetricians in the head. I'd be very interested in meeting these pro-abortion types you mention.

I'm pretty ordinary on the overall L/R scale, but my contempt for cultural warriors is near the top. Guessing my responses registered as anti-abortion, keeping me from the very top...

So how do we make sense of the grid? I think I've got a few ideal types down, but I'm waffling on where to put blue dogs and liberal dems...

By Cartesian coordinate:

Pure Totalitarians (x, 10) <-- values like this are lines, not points
Communists (-8, 9)
Fascists (8, 9)
Theocons (8, 8)
Neocons (5, 7)
Paleocons (3, -2)
European Socialists (-5, 3)
American Liberals (-4, -2)
Liberal Libertarians (-2, -4)
Randian Libertarians (x, -5)
Minarchists (x, -8)
Anarchists (x, -10)

Or:

Bachmann (9, 8)
Santorum (8, 9)
Paul (0, -5)
Romney before 2007 (0, 0)
Romney since 2007 (4, 4)
Gingrich (see note*)
Obama the Candidate (-4, -2)
Obama the President (-1, 1)

* Gingrich cannot be scored, since he will take any position in order to sell books. Or it's possible he can be expressed using pairs of complex numbers in quaternions.

I'm so pro-abortion that I want to abort many people who have already been born!

I re-took the quiz sans a browser crash and got the following:

They're not hard to find. They're the ones that get apoplectic when you bring up the obvious alternatives of adoption or parenthood, or get upset at those who make efforts to decrease the number of mothers who choose abortion through the use of things like education and offers of assistance.

They're an awful lot like you, for the most part.

I've probably met 5000 pro-choice partisans in my life. I have, quite literally, never met one person who meets that description.

It's possible they exist in real life, but I think it's a lot more likely they only exist in your head.

(To be fair, I've probably met 2500 anti-choice partisans in my life, and I've never met a clinic bomber, but they certainly do exist in real life.)

Maybe someone who is more intelligent than I am can explain this, but isn't the decision to abort about religion in the end and don't we in this country generally agree to a freedom of religion.? so if that's the case, why do we tell people what religion to believe in?

Because if you're not forced by law to do what the Bible says, then you're attacking Christianity. Duh.

I would say my parent's previous neighbor was pro-abortion. Their daughter told my nephew's mother that she should have had an abortion instead. My brother promptly got disorderly conduct, when he decided to take up the issue in a shouting match across the street.

One wonders where people in favor of forced sterlization would fall. There was an article on NPR where North Carolina is working on settling with the people they forced to be sterilized for whatever reason. Here's some history on that issue- http://www.eugenicsarchive.org/html/eugenics/essay8text.html

YOUR ilk is why nobody now gets to come up with their own nickname!!!! :D

If one side is "pro life", the other side must be "pro death", no? ;)

And why is it you only allow pro choice over killing defenseless babies!!! What if I want to be "pro choice" on paying taxes?!? Hmmmm hmmmm?? :D :p
