  21. ->"Sort of like", but not really, since I'm giving an example of _legislation_
  22. ->and you're trying to analogize to the complex and delicate balance of rights
  23. ->involved in law _enforcement_. Apples and oranges.
  24.  
  25. bullshit! when you talk about legislating against
  26. abortion rights, you're talking about the same
  27. thing as you are when you talk about illegal searches.
  28. both are an abuse of rights.
  29.  
  30. i'm surprised you'd be arguing against those rights
  31. kebbin. as a newly declared supported of choice, i
  32. thought you just recently posted that you opposed
  33. legislation to restrict abortion. i hope you're not
  34. changing your mind again.
