Robbery and murder are almost universally accepted as wrong. Abortion is far from that. I may not agree with what you have to say, but will fight to the death for your right to say it. Same principle.

I am going to say one thing about the gun thing. The whole "good guy with a gun" theory is a myth in the modern age. There were several people with guns in Pulse (the Orlando nightclub) during the shooting this summer. The AR-15's obscene rate of fire made it impossible for anyone with a clear shot to not be shot themselves, and the panic of the people there made a clear shot a joke. I don't support banning all guns. Few on the left do. I do, however, support making an actual vetting process for getting guns, and I don't think assault rifles are something I should be able to buy at a store. I have shot guns. I own guns. I know the power they contain, and how dangerous it can be. I want to prevent nutjobs from getting that power. I'm not saying this would end all gun violence, but it would at least lessen it.

I'm going to avoid going into a full psychotic rant over the evolution thing and focus on the religious freedom part. I don't think teachers should be fired over not teaching evolution, but I think the parents of the students should know in advance what he's saying so that they can pull their kid out. And atheists refusing to make cakes for Christians are liable for discrimination in the same light - the thing is, this next to never happens.
