We've been over this. It doesnt matter what you would have wanted or 'who you believed you were'...and I've provided the support of my opinion more than once that you cannot and certainly are not entitled to (nor the govt) to assume the same for others.
Good lord, it's bold AND red now ^^^
My point of view for virtually all posting here is imagining myself on the receiving end of whatever it is:
In order to assess slavery, allow me to be slave and see what it's like, and whether I'd buy into it.
In order to assess Indian Reservations, allow me to live on one for a month and see if I'd move my family there.
In order to assess abortion, let me be aborted, then report back on what I think of it.
The people that wrote the laws for slavery could never have been slaves themselves. The lawmakers who established reservations don't live on them. The people who allow abortion could never be aborted.
How much easier is it to write a law about enslaving people, when one isn't going to be enslaved themselves?
How much easier is it to write a law allowing abortion, when one has no chance of being aborted?
It's a really simple pattern.
Repeat it all you want...your 'feelings' dont matter a bit to any women that dont believe the same...nor should you have any entitlement to force them on us. At least the govt recognizes this.
