Well obviously you are not fine with it, because you disagree. However, you should consider that "forcing someone not to have an abortion" is the same as "forcing somoene not to murder someone else" to someone who is pro-life. As you accurately point out, laws are not set by my opinion, but by the majority's. If the majority determines that abortion is murdering a baby, surely you can see why logically it follows that this act should be outlawed, just like you murdering me is outlawed. And I'm not fine with you saying it's fine for a mother to take away a baby's right to life. |
I can be fine with a decision you make and disagree with it at the same time. Have you ever heard of a little thing called tolerance? Go scream out at the top of your lungs on the street that you hate abortion, you can talk crap about every woman you know who has gotten an abortion and tell them they are going to hell. I really don't care. Its your right to do so. But I don't agree that what you believe should be what everyone is forced to do.
I actually do think abortion is more or less murder (murder is a word that is thrown around to loosely based on how it is defined legally), so to some degree I agree with you. But I don't think that what I believe is what a society should be forced to believe. I understand that people have a right to choose, and I value that right. I am willing to let them make their own decision.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
