The argument on the other side of special rights is completely bogus. It's bogus because you could make exactly the same claim about racial or ethnic or religious minorities.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
They don't have special rights because we have civil rights laws that protect them. The laws work both ways.
Minorities have a right to appeal to the Constitution as a shield against such oppression.
The thing about rights is that in the end you can't prove what should be considered a right.
It's not up to the courts to invent new minorities that get special protections.
Any kind of civil rights oppression is wrong.
I believe all men, all women, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic background, you deserve the same rights.
To say that majorities, as such, have a right to rule minorities, is equivalent to saying that minorities have, and ought to have, no rights, except such as majorities please to allow them.
It is precisely because the issue raised by this case touches the heart of what makes individuals what they are that we should be especially sensitive to the rights of those whose choices upset the majority.
When you single out any particular group of people for secondary citizenship status, that's a violation of basic human rights.
When the Left doesn't want to make abortion the issue, they say you're being against minorities.
