I figured that, as a parent, I had many "rights" where her upbringing was concerned but there was one thing I did not have a right to do. I did not have the right to kill her father.
That's just the flip side of the personal choice for which V1, with whom I concur, has been arguing, isn't it?
No. While I had a right to smoke, that right ended where my daughter's rights began and I respected her rights.
I think that is very different than a position that it says it's okay to exercise rights even if it inflicts pain on others. i.e. one person's rights don't end where another's begin.

That's why I said "flip side."
