What if we articulate the principle? I dont think lefties even know (in many cases) or see your point because they have different values (safety, control, authority over others, generalized butthurtness/resentment)

The principle is: Each adult person has autonomy and control over, and is responsible for, their own body and well being; the State, and /or other groups or individuals have no authority.

Freedom is more important than safety. Why? Because "safety" has been used innuerably and consitentlt throughout history to control and oppress and harm people. Freedom in the form of God given riggts to spek freely, own and use weapons to defend yourself and family/community, and to assemble peacefully are the basics . . .

Afford all people dignity and assume the best is a standard mindset

Is this making any sense?

These principles need to be annonced and taught. Because lefties and kids dont have a clue

Abortion does not meet the criteria, because there are two people involved 1) mom 2) child

You call an embryo, or a fetus, a child?

Yes, most parents do refer to their unborn as baby or child.

What woman do you has ever referred to herself as "pregnant with embryo or fetus"?

Its a different person than the mom, a separate being altogether with its own unique DNA and Soul.

Each is responsible for the well being of others, as well.

Freedom can be problematic, because people have used it to exploit and oppress others.

Our freedom of speech was to enable uninhibited discussion of complex theoretical ideas. Yet unscrupulous fools use it as a shield to protect their lies; they weaponize words into tools of theft and deception.

We must protect the weak from the strong. All else follows from this first principle.

But how responsible for others am I? My coworkers are bad with their finances. Is it my duty to protect them from creditors? How can I do that? Should I steal their credit cards? Should I take charge of their finances entirely? It's not just debt they need to be protected from. None of them are preparing for retirement. Am I responsible for making sure that they have money to retire?

Honestly, they're all idiots. It would be best for them if I dictated their entire lives. That way I could make sure nobody takes advantage of them.
