A lot of attention has been going to social values - abortion, gay rights, other divisive issues - but economic values are equally important.

I extend that to the abortion issue, I extend that to the so-called gay rights issue, I think this is a freedom principle and consistent with the analysis in the economic area as well.

Many of these questions are extremely controversial, from abortion to gay rights, to the authority of the federal government over the states, and so on and so forth.

I'm not a gay rights activist.

Gay rights are human rights.

It may be that John and others didn't see this case as a gay-rights case.
