What mental midget deduced this?? can I reword.... If the gov has the right to force non-murder then the gov has the right to force murder. I reject the former....... Come On!, The first is an illegal, immoral act that is being PREVENTED!! albeit with force or whatever means is necessary in a nation that contains individuals who if left alone would discriminate, or worse yet allow discrimination because it doesn't affect them.(Or doesn't seem to) The second does NOT follow from the first. Look back to your high school logic classes. (** FRODO **)
