I agree with your assessment. It really is a grey area and not as black and white, at least not in every instance, as some would like to make it. That being said, there's a reasonable argument to made on both sides of the issue.

I find it intriguing how nothing will get people up in arms like the topic of abortion and a woman's right to choose. This debate isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
