While it is acceptable to attack and debate beliefs (political, religious etc) it is not acceptable to make generalised attacks on the adherents of those beliefs. It is acceptable to say that Republicanism, Liberalism, Christianity, Islam are stupid but not acceptable to make generalised attacks saying that Republicans, Liberals, Christians or Muslims are morons. You could say that some of these people are stupid because of (reason) but not make generalised attacks on groups of people. Similarly you could not say "Christians are morons" or "Muslims are terrorists" or "People on welfare are bums". Confine your attacks to the beliefs and politics, not the people holding them.
This particular thread is a borderline case: it is phrased as an attack on Conservatives, but is clearly attacking a specific policy position.
As generally we need to all try and be a bit more civil, I've decided to lock the topic. However, discussion of the subject (lack of justice in abortion law, the Prison Industrial Complex) is absolutely allowed, so OP is welcome to resubmit the thread with a focus on the subject or the ideology rather than the adherents.
