>>I'm going to go out on a limb and say that these individuals are more qualified to make their own life choices than people on the internet who know nothing about their lives.

At the risk of going down the partisan rabbit hole, this reminds me of the video segment where Ami Horowitz questioned people of liberal political persuasions on the ability of black voters to meet photo ID requirements, and then asked black Americans the same questions:

He should have asked some Republican strategists, many are on record saying their voter ID laws are meant to suppress the black vote.

He also isn't asking the black voters "the same questions" at all.

The black voters were saying every black person they know had photo ID and that instituting photo ID requirements would not prevent blacks from voting.
