The idea that all men are created equal - with the inalienable right to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness - was a radical idea in 1776 and it’s a radical idea today. We’ve never fully actualized it but the higher purpose of every generation is to inch us closer to the goal

Can't argue with that. But this has to do with civil rights. Riiiiiggghhhht?

All men except non white ones and all women of course

A formidable step forward for the good of society is for people like You to realize, after the point of conception, ANY INTERFERENCE AT ALL will rob a God-created being per God's will, this "inalienable right to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness"!

Let's not kid ourselves. Back in 1776 most white men migrating to the colonies were indentured, landless servants with little equality, unable to vote. Women had hardly any rights, and, well, Africans were slaves worth 3/5 of a person while natives were subhuman & exterminated.

Well, we have been regressing for over 40 years--because Congress got bought.

Our generation seems hell bent on going away from that goal at relativistic speeds.
