- Doug, I did not intend to *quote* you exactly. That's why I used
- ellipsis, and why I left your original statement in my post. I
- intended to reduce your statement to what I believe was your real
- point. The Supreme Court edict at this time is basically - "make up
- your own mind". This doesn't *force* anyone into anything except minding
- their own business. Maybe you find that too difficult to deal with,
- but most people would prefer that others stayed out of their personal
- lives.

- Gee, maybe people should have the right to voice their opposition to black
- people living next to them, or Jews, or those icky non-Christians (we all
- know that *real* Americans are Christian Republicans). Perhaps you don't
- like it Doug, but bodily autonomy rights should not be left up to the whim
- of the people. Since the advent of abortion laws we've had politicians
- decide that proper medical treatment *cannot* be prescribed by a doctor,
- and we've had judges decide who can *get* pregnant. Yet you still want to
- get more legislation passed allowing the restriction of bodily autonomy.
-
- People like yourself never cease to amaze me.
