So you are not comparing the abortion debate to the self-determination of states and their support of slavery?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

It's pretty goddamn obvious.
Stepehen Douglas didn't think we should prevent folks from owning black people.
You think we shouldn't stop people from getting abortions. If you equate abortion with murder, which you pretty much must do if you think that a fetus is a moral person, then you are saying that we shouldn't stop people from committing murder in order to not jam our beliefs down people's throats.

It's past time for the mods to kill this thread before the monstrosity gains enough strength to kill us all. It's purely self-defense at this point.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

I don't give a **** if you think a condom equates to murder because it prevents a future birth as well. That's not my belief, and **** you for forcing yours on me."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

In 1860, there was no consensus on whether black people were people either.
Asher, you'd love my friend Andrew. He thinks the South should have won. He is also anti-gay though, so you should avoid talking about that around him.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
