I only want government involvement in things that truly threaten a culture

Marijuana no more threatens our culture than does alcohol.

People should not be forced to accept unhelpful changes

Legalizing a non-rights-violating activity doesn't force anything on anyone - and helps by cutting into criminal profits.

The argument can be made that abortion does not threaten a culture. That it is only an individual choice.

I almost wish we could conduct experiments, Culture A without abortion and Culture A with abortion, and then observe the differences over time.

I do believe they would be different.

I can think of differences that are reasonable to expect once fertility is controlled. I would predict a lessening in the valuation placed upon marriage. I would see a callousness develop toward human life.

Those off the top of my head. Can you see any more?
