Personal Choice and Responsibility is Freedom (Score 1)

This is a great article. Its hard to find any outlet or author willing to write about a subject _any_ person might find offensive. This sort of dialogue actually helps win us (the individuals) greater freedom. The main point of Mr. Katz's article, it seems, is that the discussion of ideas can hurt noone. We should not feel obligated to skirt an issue if the possibility of (gasp!) offending someone. Personally, I would have a tough time deciding whether or not I would terminate a fetus that is terminally ill or massively deformed in some way. I _should_ have the choice, because this fetus is my responsibility. Our society was founded on rights and responsibilities that balance each other. I should have many rights, but also the responsibilities of using my rights in an ethical manner.
