We've debated the central issue here many times. Abortion, SUVs vs bicycles, Allen Edmunds shoes, Mars Bar vs Cheetos, Dylan vs Brahms are morally and/or politically indifferent choices, subject to the mere personal preference of the individual. That preference does not constitute a moral or political issue. External interference on moral or political grounds is politically retrograde.
