I have found those who consider themselves modern American liberals, however, don't have as easy a time with it.
You mean don't have an easy time answering it in the simplistic way you find acceptable. This is like those chain emails that get forwarded around conservative groups, kind of like what Ravi pointed out a couple pages ago. I'm liberal on this position, but far from all.
Reality here is more complex than a yes no to me. What should be the trump card: a person's opinion on a hypothetical, or their opinion on real-world policy? Again, hypotheticals usually make for poor argument, and are even less useful when used to marginalize or justify morality that is based on the real world.
