You can hold whatever opinion you want.  The problem comes when your actions 
based on them effect other people.  You can believe abortion is wrong all you 
want, but you can't shoot an abortion doctor.  You can believe evolution is 
wrong all you want, or believe that sex education is bad.  That doesn't mean 
you have a right to inflict those beliefs on other's children.  It doesn't even 
give you a right to inflict it on your children-  children are not chattels.
