<<that's a wasted gesture t>> This is yet to be seen.<< that opens the door to infringing on more of our freedoms. >> Well I do not think that we can allow this to be a reason for preventing us from doing what we believe to be correct. This argument can be used to prevent us from passing many laws that should indeed be enacted. In the past we have demonstrated an ability to draw the line were necessary. <<Let's take away freedom of speech.That will end a lot of violence.>> Let me put it this way. I believe you are on the pro life side of the abortion issue, no? Based on this thought perhaps if we passed anti abortion laws next we would be passing anti birth control laws. After all preventing a new life form is but one step away from abortion is it not? How about anti masturbation rules? Where as I am pro choice I would not base my argument thusly....No.... We must have the confidence in our ability to [ through reasonable debate ] distinguish what is reasonable and in our best interests and what is not. pez
