My Right to Tell You What to Do

Be careful, America.  Be careful that when you decide you have the right to curtail my behavior, someone else is going to decide they have the right to curtail yours.

People who were perfectly, self-righteously contect to dictate what a woman could or could not do within her own body, were appalled when the government stepped in and tried, nearly successfully, to tell Michael Schiavo that he was not allowed to end his family's suffering by ending his wife's unconscious existence on life support.

Some in the anti-abortion movement believe that trying to save that unsentient fetus justifies murder.  Some in the catholic church believe it is murder whenever an egg is not fertilized. 

Where do you draw the line?  Is it the same place I would draw the line?  Prescott Bush, granddaddy of W., was founding member of planned parenthood, outraging catholics.  His grandson, the smaller Bush, believes that unborn life is more valuable than it is once born.

Where do you draw the line?  The Taliban believe that girls should be covered so as not to entice men.  And that education is for males only, and should be dictated by Taliban religious beliefs.  And they believe that dousing a girl in acid on her way to school is justified, and keeps her from sinning.

Where do you draw the line?

Be careful of self-righteous legislators like Jim Demint, because he believes that God has given him the right to dictate how we live.

Is that really what you want?  And what happens when his line is different than yours?
