[QUOTE="flybeech, post: 2092451, member: 7557"] The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness begins at conception. The Constitution never allowed the Federal government to create some arbitrary point in time when we became human and before which we can be slaughtered. Liberty should belong to all, not just those who managed to escape the womb and deadliest place on Earth. I struggled with this one too, but the Constitution does not allow the Federal government to have any say whatsoever about marriage and Federal laws controlling who is free to marry who are unconstitutional. If anything, that matter is reserved to the States, though I still have my doubts that ANY level of government should have ANY say in the matter of marriage. I understand that homosexual marriage is repugnant to most people including me, but is the desire to control the behavior of others, when it does not affect you is not in the spirit of liberty. Granting the Federal government power to control victimless behavior of others also gives it the power to control any behavior. Liberty for some, but not for others, isn't liberty. [/QUOTE]
