Did anyone see the Fox News special on Honor Killings? Why shouldn't parents have the right to end an unwanted pregnancy--even if it was fourteen years late?

Keli,

Well if the Constitution is the final arbiter of right and wrong, it goes there, doesn't it? Thank God that right and wrong is not a matter of majority vote, let alone the majority of 9 people in robes.

Or a majority of state legislators and congressmen who hope to get re-elected in the next election.

I would agree, Ziggy, that neither judges nor legislators can create what is right and wrong. They answer to a standard that is above them, not to one created by humans.

But surely just because a majority of legislators thinks some way does not make it right. I greatly agree.
