Abortion and ‘Neutral’ Law

We have the right to choose between alternatives that are . . . morally permissible,” writes Philip A. Lacovara in his defense of the Supreme Court’s decision on abortion.

My judgment is that my morals are just fine without Mr. Lacovara’s bias. Further, in comparing a woman’s decision to abort her pregnancy with her decision to have a nose job or a breast implant, Mr. Lacovara reveals sensitivity exceeded only by his chauvinism. Would he also compare a man’s choosing to become a father (or not to become one) with his opting for a hair transplant?

I prefer that my state reps don’t decide any of my medical, cosmetic, or ethical choices for me!
