That's a politically motivated stretch that has rightfully been overturned.
You could make the same argument to insist on the legalisation of all drugs. In fact, it's the same argument.
> What matters is the *right* that they intended to confer.
No, what matters is what the document says. The document that was written by clearly flawed men with imperfect information.
The way to change it is to vote for it. Not pretend that some historical document says something it doesn't.
> That's fine, but don't try and pretend that you're not stood alongside a large number of people who are
You don't know what my views on abortion are because I don't think I've given them. The only view I've given is whether or not people should pretend that some old document says something that it definitely doesn't.
I believe that people shouldn't pretend that.
