... when we open our hearts and our minds to those who may not think like we do or believe what we do -- that's when we discover at least the possibility of common ground.
He was talking about the abortion "debate." At first, I believed there was no way to discern "common ground" on the abortion debate. But then I realized, the common ground is the use of force. US Presidents either advocate the use force to ban abortion or they advocate the use force to perform them. I object to the use of force for both situations.
I am being taxed to perform abortions. If abortions were illegal, I would be taxed to prevent them. It is a form of welfare either way and it is wrong.
For the record, I object to being taxed to prevent things like rape and murder too. Law enforcement doesn't do a very good job at preventing it anyway. I would rather protect myself with my own resources, not the resources of someone else.
