"I, personally, would never have had an abortion. I, personally, would never assist someone in their suicide. That's all and so there. (And I will always 'vote my conscience' when the opportunity arises --- don't you?)"

You have tremendous integrity....

With respect to voting your "conscience," I happen to agree with you, but this is where "constitutionality" comes into play.

Some opine that President Bush is allowing illegal immigration to go on unimpeded because his "conscience" tells him it's "right." ITMT, we know he's engaging in an un-constitutional act.

su-i-cide
1. The act or an instance of intentionally killing oneself.

It's not suicide if someone else does it for you. Let's say I'm having severe emotional and psychological problems that are causing me extreme pain and I think I want to die. Got the needle ready for me? Will you do it? Do you have a Constitutional 'right' to do so? Would you assist by giving a not so gentle push off the highway overpass? Help me out here.
