If they were wise, they'd trade meeting the concerns of people with specific ethical concerns about abortion in exchange for those individuals' support in legally entrenching abortion as legal.<BR/><BR/>But these people aren't wise. They believe they're entitled to hold all the cards on this topic, and that's why I'm forced to criticize them.Patrick Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592482865332628189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149446.post-53979301835305745982009-02-13T16:36:00.000-07:002009-02-13T16:36:00.000-07:00Pardon me but I thought a democracy was supposed t...Pardon me but I thought a democracy was supposed to be about giving equal rights to other opinions, even if it's an idea you don't agree with.<BR/><BR/>I don't like Pro-life activists either (then again, that's probably because the local ones are either retards or religiously dogmatic), but making it so that they can't air their side? That's an infringement on free speech. <BR/><BR/>Not that I think they deserve any special privileges mind you - I just think Pro-Lifers deserve equal footing.<BR/><BR/>This outburst reminds me of the McCarthy era witchhunts, where any criticism of ANYTHING regarding the US government resulted in you getting hounded by the feds.<BR/><BR/>Fast forward to today, and we've got Homeland Security doing almost the same thing. Then there'e Michelle Bachmann recent suggestion of rooting out "Un-American" members of congress in the US.<BR/><BR/>Robin Williams was right - it's more appropriate to call it Fatherland Security.Contents under pressuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150798234316773741noreply@blogger.com
