for one your argument is skewed because, blacks, mixed, gays, et al. are allowed to live, and are protected under the law to do so,that's the argument. Further, in a free society, you've got to allow, so long as all people are equal in the eyes of the government, you must allow discrimination between others as it is a matter of free association.
Women have equal rights, the unborn do not. Re: your second point....no one is forcing you to associate with anyone...if you dont want to have an abortion, or dont want to associate with anyone that had one...then dont.
You do not have a right to offend. Certainly they do. They're a black spot on society. I live in society, no? Correct, so much so that they should be as far removed from my community as my fellow members of the community see fit.
Correct, there is no right to offend but there is no right prohibiting it either. Nor is there any Constitutional protection against it. How are women who have abortions a 'black spot on society?' What have their actions wrought in society? And how do you even know if/who have had abortions in your community? If you have to ask, research, look for statistics...and that's the ONLY way you know...then apparently there are no other repercussions to your life.
Correct, that is why social issues must be localized. Not one size fits all blanket over the nation.
Sorry, what social issues are 'localized?' We are a diverse society, that is what gives our nation strength. That is what built our nation. So please: tell me what social issues we localize in our society? Honestly, this is the first I've ever heard of such a thing.
Correct, as you aren't entitled to set up little death camps where ever you please.
Well how would you even know about it? It does not affect you and you would have to go out of your way to learn about it. If a CHILD goes missing or is abused, the community knows...it misses the child, it sees a child in pain, etc etc etc. How are abortions affecting you?
As a Federal law, I believe it is a mistake, as a State law I believe it is a mistake -- either for or against.
Yes, I know.
The interesting thing here is that for eons counties in certain states have been known to be "Dry". That is, no liquor can be bought or sold within county lines. No one ever seems to be up in arms about this, but yet if you try to use the same principles with abortion, allowing or disallowing something as egregious as this to fall within the county level of government's purview than everyone wants to talk about choice, and it is a great oppression that can't be allowed. (notice I was making a comparative argument over the principles and not abortion v. liquor)
What? I went to college in PA and they were fighting over dry counties and getting rid of them. And people here in WA St just recently overturned the control of "state liquor stores.' But drinking alcohol is not a Constitutional right. The right to life, libery, and the pursuit of happiness...for those already born....is.
It is a case where you want to have your ideology spread far and wide, not taking into account other people's attitudes, feelings, and beliefs.
So again, you are just as much trying to force your attitude and beliefs on others as you claim that others are doing to you. Which is why this and every other social issue must be localized.
Nope, it's called FREEDOM. People are free to do what they want within the confines of the law, most importantly not infringing on the rights of others. YOUR beliefs offend many....should someone be able to tell you to move somewhere else because they dont like what you believe? If you would like to live somewhere where the govt has control over people's PERSONAL LIVES....there are a few other countries you can check out.
