<<respect for the family>> is such a basically dishonest code phrase. The vast majority of those who support abortion rights believe that strong families are important, for example. What the "respect for the family" agenda of the religious right really amounts to is advocating the use of coercive state power to enforce conformity for deeply personal choices made at the most intimate, family level, upon everyone. E.g., no abortion rights for any, because they offend the religious beliefs of some. Not gay rights for any, for the same reason. Force out of office a President for a past sexual affair, even those his wife has decided to put it behind her and continue to support her husband. School prayer for all, even though some find the enforced conformity to majority's form of religious expression uncomfortable, or even deeply upsetting. And on and on. Now when family rights are about things like a higher dependent deduction, that's another matter, and consensus can often be achieved. But when it amounts to forced conformity with a RR social agenda, that's another matter entirely. Doug
