Life and liberty are never in conflict

'Claiming to protect the freedom of one individual can never be an excuse to take the life of another. Life and liberty are never in conflict. Life and inconvenience can be.... No one in this body can challenge me on my defence of personal choice...but I do not accept the notion that choice means the right to take the life of a human being. That's a mockery of the English language and truth. Let me hear no more of choice as an excuse to kill. Please with due respect, pick another, less offensive, word.'

Eloquently and passionately said, by a man who is probably the most consistent and earnest defender of personal choice in the US today.
