Since everything Bush is doing is legal (as in changing the law to make it so), no abortion rights person should have anything negative to say about what he is doing. Right?

As of now, warrant-less wiretaps are legal. Bush declaring anyone he chooses to be an enemy combatant can be Gitmoed, and that too is now legal.

Thus, the law is the law. Mexico trucks trailblazing across the fruited plains of the US is also now legal.

coragryph (below) I'm dove tailing off of reponders that simply state its legal, with no other arguement than that. You gave examples and comparisons.

Nobody (other than you, apparently) is actually saying that.

Just because it's legal doesn't make it moral -- one has nothing to do with the other. But laws are laws, and usually those different laws are different for a reason.

And no, not everything Bush is doing is legal -- many things he does are in violation of federal laws -- which is precisely the problem.

As for the changes to FISA and the Gitmo detentions -- the Constitution still trumps (is a higher law than) federal statutes -- so just because something is allowed by federal statutes doesn't make it legal.

The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the MCA or Bush's warrantless wiretapping -- but every ruling prior to this has said that those programs are illegal.

Sin? In Exodus 20:17 God instructions that we shouldn't covet our neighbor's slaves, nor something that belongs to him. What God did not command it extremely is for all of those servants to take transport of their freedom. So especially circumstances God has some humorous regulations, and that they don't continually look to coincide promptly with what we planned to be the utmost achievable morality. yet while we return on your question, and do away with all of trimmings, you ask, "What harm does the 'sins' in Christianity reason?" Oh they have great ability to do harm! homicide is tremendously undesirable, particular. yet what approximately different sins? Exodus is surprising for sins. 22:18 Says kill each and all the witches. Eeek. This commandment could have extremely brought about some difficulty if everybody afflicted to study it. Oh they did? Oh hell. 22:19 is greater valuable. Sexually abuse animals? death penalty! See, there is sturdy stuff in the bible! 22:25 Says do not fee pastime while lending money. LOL! Who does God think of he's speaking to? 23:13 Says do not even point out the names of alternative gods. So comparitive religious study seem suited out. Wow on 2d concept, this finished sin project seems a sprint atypical to me.

Faulty logic.

You may disagree with a woman's choice to abort her pregnancy... but you do not have a legal right to stop her.

And Bush has nothing to do with the abortion issue. Presidents don't make law, nor do they have the authority to change existing laws.

So you're drawing an emotional connection that, in the face of logic and rational thought, doesn't exist.
