[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No it isn't. If Evangelicals don't want abortions, then they don't have to have them, but they cannot restrict other people's options and choices. See the difference?[/quote] You could say the same thing statutory child rape — “If you don’t like it, just don’t do it.” But that’s not the way it works in a democracy. We all get a say as to what is acceptable and unacceptable—regardless of our religious beliefs. We are supposed to try to convince one another using logic and persuasion — not use the courts to force our minority religious dogmas on everyone else.[/quote] So you think it is ok for statutory rape in some cases?[/quote] The example was to illustrate the point. What is statutory rape, i.e. what is the age of consent? Age 18? 21? 19? 17? One religious group wanting to force their view on the rest of the country using the Court, rather than let the People express their will via the democratic process, is a violation of the separation of synagogue and state.
