But that takes open discussion. I have to respect your view which is probably more representative than mine. The Taliban in me, don't you know.

Understood. This topic can be debated so many ways and in so many forms. Most have very strong beliefs either way. I'll admit that I honestly don't have a strong "black or white" stance like some of the folks here as some situations make me more liberal minded than others. My personal view doesn't seem as inconsistent to me but I also see how others can feel the way they do. In a perfect world human morality would prevail and this would not even be a topic for discussion as it wouldn’t happen. I wish we lived in that world, on the other hand I’m not 100% sure Government should make that same decision for a woman – couple. I do struggle with it as it seems there is no perfect answer (good thing I’m not running for office in the near future)
