Tell that to our government, abortion was brought on referendum, and gay adoption WAS about to be brought too but the constitutional court decided it was against the constitution to ask the people if a certain class should have fundamental rights.Quote:I don't see anywhere in this conversation that suggests the majority's rights would be harmed. All this is about is women having the right to control their own bodies
No idea why you brought up a 'tyranny of the minority'
I'm not contesting the right of women to abort. The only thing I contested in this discussion were not the legality, only the ethics of abortion AND public expenses payed by taxes.
Everyone has their own opionions on the ethics of just about everything.
In the case of abortion it's a personal decision of the woman and, therefore, not up for anyone else to make that decision for her.
AS for public expense, those publicly funded clinics that perform abortions don't do so with public funds, but from donations from private causes and individuals. They are required to keep separate books for the abortion services to ensure no public funds are used.
