Freedom doesn't mean we can all just do whatever we want. Every single law we have comes from what someone "believes" or "thinks is right," doesn't it? We don't live in a vacuum. We're all bound by the collective laws we've put together. Right now, abortion is legal, although I think that's wrong. And I have zero--zero--problem working to change that.

You're right, I can't (and I wouldn't) tell a woman she can't have an abortion, because it's legal to have one right now. No one in the right-to-life movement is "telling women they can't have abortions." We are working to make illegal what we feel is an unjust, immoral act through the political process. 'Murica.

Which takes me to another point on this issue - I'm not disqualified from having an opinion, or being active in this political area, because I don't have a uterus. That is a false argument womens' rights group use. This is my society, this is my country too. I don't have a child with Downs Syndrome either, but if there was a law saying that child should be put to death I'd be fighting against that one too.
