This is where you get into trouble. One man’s suicide bomber is another’s freedom fighter. “Doing the right thing” is rarely “doing the right thing for everyone.”
Personally, I’d like to preclude anti-choice folks. But I also have to grasp, though enforcing their own views on others in a manner I find repugnant, a lot of these people believe they are in an existential fight for human lives.
And then I recall, it is allowing their views to be pilloried in the marketplace of ideas that best destroys their positions.
