liberal

In the U.S. political spectrum, �liberals� are said to be slightly left-of-center or somewhat left-of-center. Of the two main political parties, the Democrats are thought to be more liberal, as the term is currently defined. �Political� liberals tend to favor greater federal power to remedy perceived social inequities; �cultural� liberals tend to support a woman�s right to choose when to give birth, as well as feminism, homosexual rights, and similar freedoms of personal choice and behavior.
