Amorality has been good for them because it removes guilt from actions associated with their liberal ideas, such as homosexuality and abortion.
Where they have taken no moral stand in the past, there has been no guilt.
They want their amoral ideas to become a moral platform they can stand on since they have had no moral foundation and feel they have lost public support.
In other words, they just don't get it.
It's that very amorality that has turned people away and has caused them to cite moral values as a reason they voted republican regardless of their personal economic situation.
A rose by any other name...
The only question that is relevant to abortion is whether or not the fetus is a person with rights. Everything else is an irrelevant smokescreen.
Personal choice? Well, you can make a personal choice to smash your television. You cannot make a personal choice to shoot your neighbor in the face. Your television is not a person with rights, while your neighbor is.
Legislating morality? We legislate morality when your exercise of choice would harm another person. If the fetus is a person, we are well within the purview of the law to protect its rights.
have to go back a while in reply to their choice theory :"it's not a choice, it's a child."
and their idea that there are so many unwanted children and "every child a wanted child"--there are more people ready and willing to adopt,than there are children here in the USA, many are "wanting" a child.
