You're making the mistaken assumption that YOUR morals are EVERYBODY's morals.
Personally, I agree with you, but on the other hand I don't think it's fair
to press your beliefs on a society. No doubt you've detected that I'm pro-
choice by now. Morals are essentially arbitrary rules shared to a limited
degree by members of a society. They are similar, but not identical. Remember,
there are no definitive or absolute morals.
