Slavery -sometimes used to pay ones way out of debt, not really the human rights abuse we think of today.
Marriage - Religious institution, adopted by society granted.
Choice/Embryonic Stem Cell research - Ending an innocent life, murder is wrong
Science Class - Actually offering an alternative theory is not getting to decide what gets taught in science class. Keeping that alternative theory out of the classroom is getting to decide what gets taught in science class.
