My muddled mind; I can’t sort this out, can you?

How can anyone be pro abortion? How can there be such a thing as same-sex “marriage?”  My mind is muddled.

Hey, I’m a 71-year-old white male, I’m not outwardly religious and I’m not a right-wing extremist although my philosophy leans conservative. I admit I don’t get it.

Abortion, especially, especially as a casual method of birth control is an abomination. How can it be otherwise? On the other hand, I believe I can structure scenarios where abortion is the lessor of available evils. However, if abortion were illegal, it would move underground and make things worse would it not?

There are those who are passionate about “choice,” but why doesn’t that extend to an employer having a choice not to pay for an abortion.  Why is your choice to do something totally discretionary the financial obligation of someone else?

Is there such a thing as politically correct and incorrect discrimination?

We seek to protect the ability to stop life near its start, but it is illegal to have someone help me end my life near its end. What happened to pro-choice? My mind is muddled.

How can anyone understand an entire movement in favor of abortion?  Oh right, it’s in favor of choice which also means everyone else’s choice as well (I think). My mind is muddled.

Then we have gay marriage. Has there been such a thing in the history of mankind?  What makes the 21st century different? Are we enlightened, is this a renaissance?

Don’t jump all over me, I also don’t think we should tolerate discrimination against the LGBT community in any form. I think a gay couple should have all the legal rights and privileges of a married couple, but don’t tell me that is marriage. It is a legal process, a marriage is more or at least it used to be. And no, I am not saying the commitment between a gay couple is any less than a commitment between a man and woman.  How does one sort this out?

The LGBT community represents 3-5% of the population and yet the entire Country up to the Supreme Court is consumed by this issue. Why the push beyond legal unions to “marriage?”

How can individuals who are actively religious support gay marriage? Either you accept your religious teachings regarding the “marriage” of a man and woman or you don’t or do you get to choose to be in sync with the times (politically correct)?  My mind is muddled.

Are we mixing being correct with being politically correct?

Do you have this sorted out? Please let me know.
