That was clearly your position with your 'bottom line' claim, no need to reaffirm. My response was to the other belief you appear to hold --that such a view is universal or obvious or easy to support

I think that the number of people who do not recognize that the gravity of a decision to abort a fetus is vastly more significant to the decision to "roast a peanut" is statistically insignificant. Regardless of one's ultimate view on the morality of the situation, YES, I would say it is a virtually universally held opinion that abortion is more morally significant than peanut roasting. Although I will concede that perhaps a majority of the people on earth favor allowing the woman to choose-- and I include myself in that group. Denying the significance of the moral question seems purely contrarian. There are no "roasting peanut" threads on this board, No contentious Supreme Court decisions, no campaign debates, no meaningful discussion or thought on the topic of the morality of "Peanut Roasting" whatsoever. The record on and of this issue speaks for itself.
