- Of course, we all know that the constitution really only applied to
- White men. However, now that we are enlightened about the meaning of all
- are created equal, we see that all individuals are entitled to certain
- rights of freedom. This includes the right of a mother to freedom of
- choice, and as the only person who is qualified to speak for the unborn
- child, the mother is also entitled to the freedom of choice of the
- child, the two are in fact inseperable. It should not be surprising that
- the founding fathers did not write a freedom of choice amendment, after
- all they could not become pregnant. However, they did not write an
- anti-abortion amendment, after all they understood the meaning of individual
- freedom. The rights of the mother were not restricted in the
- constitution, why would you expect differently? Individual rights are
- not a shakey foundation at all, they are the future. The walls must come
- down. The days of strong central governments and strong central
- religions claiming priority over the rights of the individual are
- numbered. Individual freedom will prevail against those who oppose it.
