Well I guess that's good because they sounded down right weird to me.

So rather than my muddying things up by trying to generalize this issue to all points of law as I did earlier I'll keep the focus on Abortion.

Just for background, here is my view on the issue of abortion:

1. I hate it. It's a violent end to what could have been a beautiful child.
2. I am rabidly pro-choice. While I would hope no one would opt for an abortion I really don't want the Government deciding the issue. It should be a matter of personal responsibility.

Right now the majority has spoken and abortion is in most cases legal.

However the opposition has the right to free speech and I believe a duty to fight for what they believe is right on this or any other issue. The idea that one side or the other should give up and go home because they are in the minority (or on a side that you perceive as less liberal) at any given moment is unAmerican and that is what the position you stated sounded like to me. Give up and go home.
