WTF are people thinking

  I take my views on things pretty seriously. Sometimes however there is no "viewpoint" there is simply the right thing. Take this article on abortion for instance. I support abortion for all the obvious reasons despite being of the mind that I would have liked to have children. How can people think like this? They are trying to put in to law that it is ok to harm other people just because they don't agree with them.

 Laws that "prevent" people from causing harm to other people, either through direct action or reckless behaviour, are clearly good laws to have. Laws that however condone behaviour that causes harm to other people are just morally unjustifiable. Abortion has to be a choice women have, there are so many scenarios where it is required, a woman should not be forced to endure something that is not in their best interest. Take my wife for example. If she became pregnant it would literally kill her. Why should she be forced to die just to satisfy someones view on the world?

  There are all sorts of laws like this that get passed, trying to enforce restrictions on people that simply cause harm. Go back long enough and you have womens rights, civil rights, gender rights etc. There is simply no reason to outlaw these things. Even now, especially living and working in the area of California that I do, there are people around me, who just because they love someone of the same gender, are restricted in what they can do with their lives.

  People must understand that enforcing the causing of harm to others in law is not going to make anything right. It will simply prolong the suffering and needless persecution of others.

  Oh and on a side note, it seems the giraffe people of the world have finally been found.
