Rhymey,

Fail. Abortions are legal services for businesses to offer. Fetuses don’t pay taxes.

The “right to choose” is just the old state’s rights argument for slavery. Fail again.

There is no “right to determine with whom one will do business and on what terms,” and there never was. Fail again.

And anonone, there is a fundamental difference between owning a human being (a violation of the fundamental human right to be free) and exercising one’s right to determine with whom one will do business and on what terms.

you ignore the fact that all businesses use public infrastructure (roads, transportation, sanitation, security, etc.)

Thank you, anonone, for supplying an argument that can be used to ban abortion!

Fortunately, Rhymes With Spigot, there is no “owners right to choose” whether or not to discriminate anymore than there is an “owners right” to choose to own slaves anymore.

The “owner’s right to choose” is to choose whether or not to run his or her business in a way that complies with federal anti-discrimination and civil rights laws. If they don’t want to do that, than they can “choose” not to open or stay in business.

And, in your public vs private argument, you ignore the fact that all businesses use public infrastructure (roads, transportation, sanitation, security, etc.) purchased and maintained by taxpayers of all colors and shapes.

Your so-called “right to choose” argument when it comes to a “right to choose” whether or not to discriminate was lost decades ago in this country. Give it up.

Might shock you to learn that while I don’t believe it should be illegal, I do believe that such things are wrong.

Besides, anonone — what about the owner’s “right to choose”?

More fun stuff from Rhymey With Whitey’s private U.S. apartheid wet dream:

“Two gay men kicked out of Chico’s Tacos restaurant for kissing

EL PASO — Two gay men kissed at a Chico’s Tacos restaurant, prompting guards to eject them and a police officer to endorse their ouster.

Even happened in Rhymey’s home state.

I suppose we could go back a few years for a candidate — Strom Thurmond.

I didn’t know David Brooks was so irresistible.

Ted Kennedy would be the better reference.

You mean it is wrong for me to put my hand on the inner thigh of a colleague?

I’ll have to commit that to memory prior to the next DL staff meeting.
