In the current topic on fetal gene sequencing, the otherwise articulate and insightful Prof. James R. Brenner of the FIT chemical engineering department said that he would not terminate a pregnancy because to do so would be anti-life, but neither would he stop someone else. Jim is not alone. More than once, here in the Gulch, other people have made the same claim. They are opposed to abortion but believe that the government should not be involved in a personal decision.

Why would you feel (believe, conclude, surmise, deduce, induce...) that something is _wrong_ "for you" and then say that it might be right for someone else? I am not talking of chocolate-versus-vanilla but basic moral questions.
