Let me make it clear, that my defending of those innocent little beings has its limits. I will NOT go outside the law to do so, and I'm not one of the nuts that stalks the Planned Parenthood Murder Chambers.
Come to think of it, by YOUR definition, and your history on the abortion issue, it sounds as if YOU might be guilty of forcing your view on others as well. This boils down to nothing more than a difference of opinion as to what is right and wrong. In many cases, at least fiscally, you and I often agree on what is right and wrong, but we definitely are divided on this one.

Point is this. With abortion, what we have is an OPINION that it is a life you are taking. I am not being forced to have an abortion. I am for giving you the option to have one if you so choose. Giving you the option isn't forcing your opinion. Restricting your options is. Since I can't see how anyone is forcing you to have one against your will, it is a clear case of you meddling in someone's life when you have NO business. Again, if someone is forcing your daughter to have one against her will, I will defend her right to choose.
Giving you choice is NOT coercion or meddling. Limiting one's choices based on your opinion when it doesn't affect you is. In cases of say abortion or gays being persecuted, it is really none of your business since you are not forced to have gay sex or have an abortion. As I said, voting certain regulations in YOUR subdivision isn't because you are directly affected is one thing. Pushing for something via getting your proxy in another subdivision is. Not sure how to better explain it.
Regardless, if you vote someone in, you can't wash your hands off your proxy.
Edit: Let me put it another way. If I voted for Hitler II knowing the platform he ran on and he gets in and starts gassing Jews, what is it I can say to a Jew? "Sorry. Not me. I didn't do it. The man I voted for decided to gas you."?
