Is it a personal choice or a question of morality?

The question here is "Should everybody be forced to follow one rule?" Some people want the rule to be one way and some want it to be the other way, and neither group actually considers the question. They simply assume that everybody has to do everything the same way, and the argument is which way that should be. It does not even occur to anybody that there might be more than one right way.
When two or more people live in the same area they have to adopt some rules about who does what to whom. Any such rule is called a more', French accented e pronounced "mor-ay". The adjective form is moral, and the habit of following more's is morality. More's are arbitrary: they do not have to be right, only accepted. Another group on the other side of the river might have very different more's.
So your question is "personal choice, or arbitrary social pressure?" That still avoids the basic question, "Should everybody be forced to follow one rule?"
Legally, it's been made a personal choice. But does that automatically make it right? I don't believe so. The unborn are undeniably human beings, and their lives are coming to an end when they are aborted. Their heart was beating, and now it isn't. Their body was intact, and now it's in pieces, down a garbage disposal or in a trash can. So yes, we legally are allowed this choice.....But it is as wrong as when we had the choice to have and abuse people as slaves, or kill persons because they were jewish....all legally given choices at the time, but very obviously morally wrong.
