...You can have all the "freedom" you want. But your "freedom" ends when it abrogates my "freedom."

In other words, if you don't believe in abortion for any reason including religious, don't have one. That's your choice.

But your religion does not dictate my moral/religious freedom.

Why is this such a difficult concept? Why is it hard for a Constitutional judge to understand this?

These Con Justices are a travesty.

"Originalists" my ass...
