Thoughts:
Although same sex marriages may not be allowed but in a few states, in the US you still have the right to be with whom ever you choose. The government can not stop you from spending your life and time with who ever you want. This is one of the rights you have that is not specifically stated in the Constitution.

Thoughts:
I think that the reason the US fight against abortion is bigger in different countries then in the US is because women are protected by the 9th amendment, there is really nothing the government can do about abortion. Although I am total against abortion, it is the woman's right to choose what she does to her body. This is given to her by the 9th amendment. Other countries are not given these rights like we are in the US.
