Right now, abortion is legal in this country.

Take comfort in that "law" (such as it is, despotically dictated to our nation by the Court), my FRiend. Because it's all you've got on your side.

My argument is that it ain't nearly enough. Law never is, whether it springs from a despot or from democratic unanimity.

"Because it's all you've got on your side. "

My side? What side do you think I am on, dear FReind? I'll give you a hint. I'm on the side that stands for upholding the rule of law - the rule not evaluated by a single man who advocates taking matters into his own hand and dispensing justice as he sees fit - but, the side that places the responsibility of dispensing that justice in manner fully in accordance with the principles of due process and Constitutional rights.

For a society to make it past 200 years, you not only have to protect the rights of the people with whom you agree, but the people with whom you disagree as well.

Old Deck Hand thinks the laws are the ‘end all, be all’

If his town passed a law that everyone that lived there was gay, he’d be the first on his knees.
