There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of higher order
than the right to life. I do not share that view. I believe that life is
not private, but rather it is public and universal. If one accepts the
position that life is private, and therefore you have the right to do with
it as you please, one must also accept the conclusion of that logic. That
was the premise of slavery. You could not protest the existence or
treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was private and
therefore outside of your right to concerned. -- Rev. Jesse
Jackson, 1977
