A while back I read that a great many political and religious debates of our time arise out of these two competing axioms:
There’s nothing more important than children and family.
There’s nothing more important than personal autonomy and choice.
These competing intuitions are responsible for arguments about abortion, gay rights, birth control, feminism, religion, and so many other things. It stands to reason that competing axioms are why no one ever wins these arguments.
