I don't like labels. I don't understand the need for them. When you define yourself a certain way, people have expectations.

Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not... with regard to abortion and euthanasia.

I've always ignored the labels people put on things.

All labels are offensive in some way.

I do disapprove very strongly of labelling children, especially young children, as something like 'Catholic children' or 'Protestant children' or 'Islamic children.'

I personally am opposed to abortion, but I will not judge anybody else's right in that regard because I am not a woman and I could never face the actual reality of it.

I try not to name too many labels - not because it's not cool, but because it starts getting political.

I hate the idea of labels and saying you are member of one party or another and signing up to all sorts of policies that you don't have a view on or don't believe in. Because I'm not a politician, I don't have to be consistent in what I say and how I behave.

To be very blunt, I am not really that concerned with what labels get associated with somebody.

For a label for me, 'conservative' is more appropriate than 'Republican.'
