[Rhodes22-list] Spitzer's Choice: An irreverent selection

[Brad Haslett]

Stan,

You can't legislate morality.  What is right?  I dunno.  Keep choice alive
until we figure that one out.  I've faced that decision as an outsider and
have been happy with my influence on the decision.  What is right for
someone else depends on that someone else.  I don't do religion but do
occasionally delve in biology. Some friends had some "issues" about the
health of their unborn child that I unwillingly got involved with - my
argument won.  Proof attached.
