Re: Not bad but not quite (3.00 / 3)

"I do not know you, but I do not believe anyone should have an abortion unless there is a medical reason involving a the life of the mother."

well you are welcome to believe what you want.  but you are not welcome to use the federal government to force your personal beliefs on ME.

if you don't believe in abortion, then don't have one. if you don't believe in abortion, donate your time and money to adoption agencies or crisis centers. support birth control so that people DON'T HAVE TO have abortions. do something positive.  but don't dare try to force me to live up to YOUR moral standards.

Re: Not bad but not quite (none / 0)

We do that all the time, we pass laws restricting smoking in private restranuts that we do not eat in, we all sorts of of banned medicines, we have a drinking age, movie ratings, speedlimits, the list goes on and on becasue someone feels it is in the best interest in society to do that.  You could make the arugument that you wish to live in a purely libertarian society, but I bet you do not.  You just want this issue.  Abortion restrictoins are coming weather you like it or not, some are already here.

Re: Not bad but not quite (none / 0)

none of the examples you mentioned have anything to do with the right to make your own medical decisions.

nope, i'm not going to burn down that straw man you just erected.
