Perhaps further examples would provide the necessary clarification.

"I'd never rape a woman, but I respect the right of other men
to choose."

"I'd never call a black man a nigger, but I respect the right
of others to choose to do so."

"I'd never go queer-bashing, but I respect the right of others
to do so."

"I'd never abuse a child, but I respect the right of others
to do so."

"I'd never have an abortion, but I respect the right of others
to choose to do so."

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee,
The Lord make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee,
The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
