Christian, socially liberal.
I would overturn neither. I'm of the belief when it comes to gay marriage that it's not my place to make the judgment whether it is morally right or wrong. That is between them and their Maker.
As far as abortion, I have a moral issue with the notion of overturning Roe v. Wade while not establishing programs that will deal with the aftermath of that. The instant reaction is people should deal with their responsibilities but the reality is that won't always happen. Especially when talking about an unwanted child. We continue to cut social services (which are constantly lumped in with welfare), limiting the number of CPS workers, and making the adoption process in the US difficult enough that many look out of country instead. If we truly believe that those lives matter and something could be made of them then there needs to be some kind of support there.

Yup, that's why I always try to couch my pro-life stance from the standpoint of making sure an overturn of RoevWade would go hand in hand with a complete overhaul if our domestic adoption/foster care infrastructure.
I do believe abortion is outright heinous, but also have to realize that just taking it away without purposefully filling the void with practical/supportive alternatives is folly.
