the biological definition is not the issue. What he said upset you. This is the time you have to DEFEND his right to be obnoxious! We can't defend freedoms ONLY when someone agrees with us.
Is this NOT the same argument over ROE or Gay marriage? People ask me all the time do I agree with XYZ....My answer is always the same......It makes NO difference WHAT I BELIEVE, THEY have a CONSTITUTIONAL right to THEIR beliefs.
The 1st Amendment is the MOST precious. That is WHY our Founding Fathers gave it #1! This is a very slippery slope. I will defend his RIGHT to be as wrong, sickening and offensive as possible. THEN I KNOW we have FREEDOM! Don't like what he said....YOU have a CONSTITUTIONAL right to turn the dial.
