There is no right and wrong - the powers that be decide what is right and what is wrong.

Not the powers that be but the people alive at the time - at least in a country with a democratic form of government.

Currently, it's the Political Correctniks who've given moral relativism a bad name. But 125 years ago it was Republicans who championed the cause with Oliver Wendall Holmes in the forefront.

Moral relativism is a frightening thing. It seems dangerously close to nihilism or hedonism or amorality. Well, It's a frightening, confusing, and mysterious world we live in. Always has been. Best to face it honestly, with your eyes wide open. Or at least that's how I chose to live my life.

Oliver Wendell Holmes was the most evil person ever to serve on SCOTUS, thankfully in the minority most of the time. The Confederate bullet that grievously wounded him was a tragic misfortune in that it failed to kill him. You fail in identifying the VIEWS of Holmes with the presumed VIEWS of Theodore Roosevelt to give TR the credit he deserves. Of the two, he was clearly and by far the superior man.

Moral relativism is amorality. I could care less about who is Republican and who is Democrat - these labels mean nothing to me. I watch people's feet. O.W. Holmes is no hero.

Moral relativism should have a bad name. It's a poisonous bankrupt illogical and dangerous ethic. It denies truth. If every person in the U.S. became a moral relativists, then they would ALL be wrong.

Some say a woman has a choice, after all its her body.
If she wants to cut off her arm, go ahead. If she wants to enlarge her breasts, go for it. If she wants to cut her breasts off, that's her choice.
She also has other choices. To make love or not to make love. That's a choice. BUT when she becomes pregnant, they choice has been made.

Abortion is murder.

End of story.
