[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who want to regulate what you eat, what you drive, what you say etc are all up in arms because the government is now submitting them to one extra procedure before they extinguish a life. Nice liberal hypocrisy. [/quote]

One individual's rights end where the other's begin.  So you can't smoke in a public place because others have to breathe it.  You may have to pay more in taxes to offset the health costs of twinkies an beer.  You can drive whatever you want, but the government will reward you with tax breaks or HOV use if you reduce the pollution that everyone has to breathe.  The government also tells me where to shit.  I can't poop in my yard, because the sewage might spread disease.  That's a legitimate controlling role for the government because my actions in that scenario code affect others in society.

In the case of abortion, we have to weight the woman's rights against that of the fetus.  So far the majority consensus is that the woman's right to control her own body trumps the fetus's rights.

Whether you agree with that or not:  If you are a conservative, you should be very worried about a regime that thinks it's OK to issue mandates about what happens between a citizen and their doctor.  [/quote]

Excellent points.[/quote]
