Wow. I've had almost this exact conversation with my wife on a few
occasions. I'm the kind of 'pro-choice' you describe. I personally
believe that the LDS Church has it right, but I also don't believe that
it is my place to push my beliefs on people using the law of the land.
They have free agency, just like I do. And they can choose to make bad
decisions.
