Quote:you and the government of Texas don't have the right or power to tell anyone what is or is not morally reprehensible.

^^ I agree with this as a broad philosophy. However, it should be the driving idea attached to most issues.


It's no good to say "they don't have the right or power to decide what is/isn't morally reprehensible" for this issue,, but "they do have the right or power to decide what is/isn't morally reprehensible" for another issue, like what people can do with their private businesses. It can't go both ways.


I'm not saying the poster is doing that btw. Just an observation of the way many people believe.


P.s. - I'm mixed on abortion. I personally find it terrible and wouldn't do it. However, someone very close to me had it many years ago. No matter how terrible I think abortion is,, it was necessary for that person, and the correct thing to do (without sharing any of the details of that situation; trust me, it was a dreadful sitaution which was not caused by fault of the person).


I guess my stance would be:

Against abortion except in extreme cases such as rape, incest, medical necessity of the woman.
