    Ludicrous,ludicrous,ludicrous...........

    If the Constitution of the United States made sexual promiscuity
our country's main purpose,  would people die to protect that liberty?
Obviously, killing to protect a way of life depends on the (moral)
validity of that lifestyle.Even then,however, the right to kill another
being is questionable, even a "subhuman" fetus. 

    If the earth was ever taken over by a horde of supersophisticated
extra-terrestrials, would you like your life to be aborted for being a 
a sub-extra-terrestrial ???
