When rights conflict, how do you strike a balance? By
religious background and beliefs? Whose? By "morals?" Whose?

If this were an easy question it would have been resolved long ago.


One wonders why it's a question at all.


Perhaps because we're a democracy rather than a dictatorship?



If that were true abortion would be outlawed. Every poll shows the vast
majority of the American public apposes abortion. If that is the case in a
democracy, shouldn't the majority rule?

Really? Every poll I've seen supports abortion.

You know what... my absolutism was wrong. I don't have any idea what every
poll says. What I do know is every poll I have seen on late-term abortion
overwhelmingly apposes the practice, but we don't seem to have it outlawed
yet. I have also seen polls over the years that show the majority of
American appose the practice if exceptions are made for the life of the
mother and rape or incenst.....

Now are you sure each and every poll on the matter that you have seen shows
blanket, overwhelming support?

Really? Every poll I've seen supports abortion.



Have you noticed that the only people that advocate abortion are those that
have already been born?

I love it how most discussion on the subject is done by men, who by some
coincidence, have never gone through pregnancy and childbirth.

Back in those radical '60s, I was in a debate on abortion. A bishop asked one
of the debaters, a young lady, when she was going to give up her heretical
stance on abortion.

The answer came back, quick as a wink, "When either you or the Pope gets
pregnant."

How is that any different from the fact that for the most part the
people who decided to start our most recent war, avoided military
service themselves?

Hmm, seems to be a pattern developing here.

From what I've heard, Saddam Hussein was in the military, but Osama bin
Laden never was.

How did you figure that?
