NARAL and Huckabee Agree: Letting the States Decide is NOT the Way to Go!

[natewillsheets]

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has come out against the idea that states should decide whether to make abortion legal or not.

She then quotes an article talking about how Huckabee-as opposed to Fred Thompson-doesn’t agree with the “letting the states decide it” approach. And this is true, at least over actually condemning

The problem is that we can't agree on the Absolute Values. Some believe humans and animals have a kinship and all life should be respected. Some say human bodies without minds are more valuable than animal bodies with minds. Some say human and animal minds are more valuable than human and animal bodies without minds. Some say only human minds are worthy. Each position has strong points and weak points.

No one can see Truth. We only see experience of Truth, which is only a glimpse from each one's unique time-space point of view. What then are values but personal opinions, whether they be arbitrary or concluded from personal experience or inherited via personal relationships with a tradition or religion? What then are principles but solidified personal opinions about values?

So should morality between individuals be imposed on all from one ruling body? To me, it is thinkable, even in principle, to realize the shortcomings of knowledge. And to respect that, through ignorance of Absolute Truth, we establish havens for those who see their side of it, to live among kindred spirits. So that we, who believe as we do, can have a home too.
