I agree that politics and religion are related to culture.I'm not going to derail the thread by talking about slavery, but if you want to talk about that privately I'm all for it.Should the states decide on slavery, as in the past?
This abortion issue is at the basis of liberty.
Who has more claim to liberty: mother or fetus?
Who has more of a claim? That depends on the beliefs of local culture. In New York, the mother does. In Alabama, the fetus does.
End Roe v. Wade,
Let local culture decide what to do,
Case closed,
Move on to gun control.
However, my focus in this thread is on individual liberty.
If under a Muslim theocracy (or Christian or Jewish or other), the individualās rights are restricted in favor of the culture.
I prefer the culture (local OR national) to have minimum impact on an individualās freedom, as is more likely the case in the USA.
My definition of āindividualā is one who is born, who is biologically independent.
