Actually, if you are for abortion you view it as a personal issue... but if you're against it, it's really the opposite.
Imagine, for instance, if it was legal to eat children. Sounds wierd, but I'm willing to bet there are some tribal cultures out there that would (not to mention the huge amount of parents in the third world selling their children into prostitution, which I'd imagine is just as bad).
If a parent decides that their child is more valuable as food than as a human being, and someone wants to buy it, why should the government get involved?
My answer is: some things are absolutely wrong, whether they affect the general population or not. Another example of people not seeing eye to eye, I guess?
President Bush has recently drawn fire for suggesting that the controversial "Intelligent Design" theory be given equal time on Slashdot.
Although he has said that posting decisions should be made by the individual contributors themselves, he believes that proponents of intelligent design should be posting alongside proponents of evolution.
"Both sides ought to be properly taught . . . so people can understand what the debate is about," he said, according to an official transcript of the session. Bush added: "Part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought. . . . You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, and the answer is yes."
These comments drew sharp criticism this morning from every post on Slashdot, who said there is no scientific evidence to support it and no educational basis for teaching it and everyone who would even consider thinking it ought to be put in thought jail.

From what I've heard, it sounds like the FAA has moved to deny their request until LiftPort can demonstrate that the elevator is knidproof.
