You are wrong about choice and Michelle is right. When we leave the aspect of choice in the hands of human beings we all recognize our own fallibility, and consequently, that of others. If you are going to have a legal system that is all encompassing you must account for this factor. If you also have a societal ethic stating that it is wrong to do something (ie kill, deny women choices) then you must include this in your systematic application of the law. Can you ethically choose to kill some one and give yourself immunity for their death. Yes, if you as a society decide to give relative weight to each societal ethic. This is the current situation. The politic of protected status has empowered women to choose their convenience over the life of the baby within their womb. The politic of deciding the life or death of a criminal goes in favor of the criminal. Ultimately here you are merely streaming through time going along with the trends with no underlying absolutes. It is now against the societal ethic to find fault with any lifestyle or to blame individuals for their actions. Guns kill, people have grammas to excuse them. Learn to go with the flow dude. Pass laws to get rid of the guns so we will all live in peace and harmony, or not.
