If protecting the rights of the minority is not what America is all about, what IS America about? During one era in my lifetime the "majority", whites, felt that blacks were inferior and quoted the Bible to that effect. Blacks were banished to the back of the bus, to the back of the restaurant, kept from "white" schools and so forth. America has changed for the better since that time, but a lot of deeply held beliefs were shattered - and it wasn't conservatives who led the change. If you were around during that time I'm sure you remember the intense, bitter moral and social debates that took place in the fiftys and sixtys... No, Ann. Minority rights are very, very important. Take away that and you discard the essence of what defines America. As far as parental approval for abortions, realistically how many of those cases would be due to incest?? Very few. Liberals always seem to favor the vast majority of society compromising their beliefs in order to accommodate a teeny tiny minority. That doesn't make sense. The push to legalize gay marriage is the most notorious issue in that category.
