Then we can all agree. If you feel you should be able to deny someone your services.....then any business should be able to deny someone their services too. Problem solved.
Justice is about applying law to everyone equally. Is it justice to say that one business can deny services based on religion but another cannot? (Christian bakers vs. Muslim taxi drivers who won't drive people with alcohol). Sure, we can throw in excuses for this, that or the other. But those are just that, excuses. Everyone seems to want to have things their way but when the situation is turned around on them, suddenly there is a problem.
I think that you ladies absolutely have the right to deny service at any point. But I also think that a business can deny service for any reason. I say that you should let the racist doctor put up that he/she doesn't want to see minorities. I say that the LGBTQ bookshop should be able to say "No Christians". Let everyone do what they wish and let the free market sort it out. How long would a business that denies a large group of potential customers last? Let them be known for what they are. If they can still get enough business, so be it. If not, they will have to change and become tolerant or find something else to do with their lives.
Cristy....as for the any age thing....I've always said that people must consent and BE OF AGE. C'mon now.
I will make it simple. You are not allowed to buy sex. You have no legal right to service under any circumstance. So it is not a “business” entity you are dealing with.
By your logic, I need to see women or children as well. Because ALL people are entitled to buy what I am selling?
And remember, law is legal, not for justice. The criminal system is a legal one not a justice system. Which is why a defendants rights can and often do trump the right of the victim.
You dont have to agree. It is clear that you don’t. But there will be cases of competing rights and one will always trump another. This is just another example of it. My right to my body trumps your right to be a customer not discriminated against. Period.
