You mention that liberty should be afforded us as long as we do not harm others by those personal choices. For that reason I don't think abortion fits in to your logic, but the principles you stand for are correct. We have bred a generation of irresponsible feckless people and wonder why we cannot find a true leader in our political institutions! I agree entirely, with one caviat.
