I find it quite humorous at your rationale and reasoning for why abortion is not immoral. Because the Court said so, you say. Hush it up, you say. It’s none of your business, you say. You have no right to tell me what I can and can’t do, you say. This is no place for government regulation, you say. You can’t legislate morality, you say. LOL. Through this argument here, I’m beginning to see a little of the right’s point on some things (although me becoming a republican would mean that Lucifer’s furnace broke). When it was proposed to raise the minimum wage, the left was up in arms when the right argued against it. You can’t do that, you said. That’s immoral, you said. You need to pay a living wage instead of what the market dictates, you said. But telling a small businessman what he can and can’t pay his workers, that’s not intrusive though huh? No, it’s only his livelihood. It’s only how he feeds his own family. When Exxon Mobil reported record profits amidst terribly high oil prices, I’m willing to bet that well over half of you were up in arms talking about the moral obligation that the oil companies had towards the consumers. You were demanding gov’t intervention, saying that it wasn’t fair what they were doing. Setting a market price for their good (you paid it, therefore it was market), and it isn’t moral you say. But snatching the life from an unborn baby, that’s perfectly moral because it’s your body and the Court said it was moral. No, the Court said it was legal, but that is NOT the question we are debating here. The question is morality. And there seem to be some glaring inconsistencies within many of your moral compasses. I think it’s time many of you make an appointment to get them re-calibrated. "
