So what are you conservative about if you are pro choice? You ignored the question. I’m not a 1 issue voter either but being conservative means something in a moral sense as well. Either you are conservative morally ethically emotionally economic or not. you just vote Republican for other reasons?

So no distinction between social conservatism and political conservatism?
All or none?

Remember, there is a lot of room between:
A. Someone shouldn’t do that;
B. Someone should be socially ridiculed for doing that;
C. Someone should be ostracized and shunned for doing that;
D. The government should make that person pay a fine
E. The government should forcibly remove that person from society temporarily via prison
F. The government should permanently remove that person from society via prison or execution
I find that there’s a lot of things one can find abhorrent for which the proper method for dealing with and/or curbing said behavior is neither a fine nor prison/execution. Considering those are government’s primary means of punishing wrongdoing, government is often not the ideal vehicle for solving many problems.
There are some problems which government is uniquely equipped to deal with, but there are also others where government is not the ideal problem-solver.
