Yes topics like right to life and abortion are controversial for a reason. There are moral thoughts on it but nobody is in a position to make a judgment of others choices.
I don't think abortion should be legal because it's killing another person. But things like heroin (or others), prostitution, and assisted suicide, while I don't support morally, I don't think should be illegal because you're not taking away the rights of another person.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
