But since I do not know you, nor how you think other then what you post, I have to use the knowledge at hand. Just as the Holocaust is considered a blight on humanity by you and others(myself included), so is Abortion and Lesbianism to some people(myself included).
If you walk away from this thread now knowing the disgust you feel for the Holocaust is what some people also feel for Abortion and or Lesbianism, then I have accomplished what I set out to do, if not, well there really isn't much more I can say.
I have always understood that. But that was not my point.
I am not for having any more rights that have been granted taken away in this country. The Gov't has been running rampant for way too long and there are way too many things being legislated that should not be. That is where you were missing *my* point. Yes, I understand that some rights that have been granted were later decided to be unethical or morally reprehensible (ie slavery).
I personally don't like abortion, and don't agree with it. But do I want the right to have one taken away? No. If I were raped, would I want access to emergency contraception? If it were your wife, your daughter? Hypothetically, I'm not asking for an answer.
Morality should not be legislated. Neither should religion. Nor should any decision that is medical. Medical situations are personal, intimate, and usually emotionally draining. The doctors, we're lucky we still have anyone willing to practice medicine in this country. Between law and lawyers . . . that's why I am not getting an MD. This is also why their is a field of Biomedical Ethics. Let the medical "industry" manage itself. Politicians who didn't go to medical school, well, *sighs* should they be making broad medical decisions?
I've been a FReeper for going on six years. You could find out more about me. *laughs* And I could do the same about you. I think I will.
Thank you.
