Shutting Down Dissenting Views
Of course, the left will say to us, “No, you are the ones who require conformity. You are the ones who refuse to recognize marriage when it’s different than what you’re used to. You are the ones who want to forbid a woman from having control over her own body. It is our side, the left, which loves freedom.”
But that objection misses the point.
Our argument is that marriage in our society has a certain meaning and history and function. To tamper with that is to tamper with our foundations.
But if two men or two women want to live together, that’s their choice. We simply don’t want to be required to validate or celebrate that choice.
When it comes to abortion, notice that, despite our abhorrence of that sinful practice, we’re not forcibly stopping women from having abortions. We’re arguing that no one has the right to terminate the life of an innocent baby and we’re advocating a change in the laws and the culture through political and persuasive means.
