Ahh the usual Business Socialist response! And which Amendment in the Constitution specifically protects a businesses right to sell abortion products, and to violate an individuals rights in the process?

Sorry, but it would seem that YOU are the socialist here. Otherwise you would be appalled at the idea that anyone has an inherent right to a job, that they cannot be fired by an employer at will, and that the government can require a private business to retain an employee who refuses to sell the employer's product, even though it is legal.

Moreover, you may have failed to note that to the extent abortion is murder, that is rightly a matter for state law, not federal law. That's why it is the individual states that make their own laws regarding the definitions of murder and the punishments associated therewith.

I suppose you would support that claim that a supermarket cannot fire a Muslim cashier who refuses to sell pork products. You are essentially making the same argument.

By all means, argue vociferously for abortion in all forms to be outlawed. Stand outside the business with a sign and call for a boycott.

But let's not support the right of the government to decide who businesses must hire and cannot fire. I recognize that the federal and state governments have been doing just that since the totalitarian leftists took over the writing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

But we here at FR, and in the conservative movement, are supposed to be arguing AGAINST such government encroachment.

This thread is posted in the Religion Forum. The main guideline here is "discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal."

Do not make this thread "about" yourselves - discuss the message, not the messenger.
