If we are to maintain our grasp on the fundamental rights of the United States of America, we must closely examine how ideology and percieved "moral values" are a stain upon our society. The purpose of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is to maintain equal accessibility to freedom in this country. A law that hinders the rights of a specific group of the American citizenry (in this case women) is wholly antithetical to the core upon which our country is founded. Logic and rationality must be the mechanisms through which we govern ourselves, not alleged moral values which are based upon individual perception and are all-to- easily manipulated into baseless scare tactics.
