I didn't say it did, but saying something that will make someone feel worse about a medical condition that already brings them pain isn't a great choice.
The best choice is not always the most comfortable one for ourselves. Sometimes we need someone to point that out.

I support their right to spend their money how they wish, but I also support my right to hold and voice a personal opinion on it.

isn't this the core of why I used a word like selfish?

They could have used that money to improve the life of another, but they chose to use it just to improve their own.

Honestly, and I am making an assumption here so I am open to being corrected, it seems to me that someone on the Left should really be arguing for adoption rather than the wealthy using money to satisfy their own wants.

A community should look after each other, not just chase their own desires?
