Look, people, I do not like or advocate government-enabled abortion. I dislike even more statist solutions to statist-created problems. I also do not like income taxes, payroll taxes, property taxes, capital gains taxes, tobacco taxes, mandatory speed limits, mandatory seatbelt usage, smoking bans, DWI laws and checkpoints, "Click It Or Ticket" checkpoints, mandatory recycling laws, homeowners' associations, intrusion on gun rights, bank requlations and a million other things.

I've just given up on most of those things, having argued their necessity on this forum openly and with a number of you indvidually, and seen mostly statist responses.

Few, if any of you would join me in opposing any or all of these other things.

I have decided to pick my battles. I am 59 years old, have 2 children and 4 grandchildren. I will never live long enough to see Roe vs. Wade overturned.

Abortion is here. It has always been here and will always be here.

If you want to change that or any of these other things, you start with your school boards, then your cities, then go to your counties, then to your states, then to the federal government.

Unless you possess the Methuselah gene, that will never happen in any of our lifetimes.

Maybe if you were to focus your attentions on the issue of liberty at large, this one thing which offends you so much would go away.

Without respect for innocent human life, liberty cannot survive. Never.
