- Why do many pro-life advocates believe that pro-choice advocates do not
- believe in absolute ethical standards? I *do* believe in absolute
- ethical standards. By my ethical standards, refusing a woman a right
- to choose an abortion is wrong. My standards are every bit as absolute
- as yourse, they are just different. It is insulting that you conclude
- that since my standards are different from yours, I therefore have no
- standards. Aside from the fact that it is insulting, it sets you up
- to get taken out at the knees if you take me on in an ethical discussion.
