Can one of the conservatives on the board explain to me how abortion coincides with small government?
If you believe in small government, doesn't that mean you should only care (regardless of your personal beliefs) if the government does say something about it? It's not the governments decision, right? I mean, what if some wacky religious person got millions of people together that believed that jacking off resulted in the same sort of thing they say abortion leads to [dead kiddies]..? What if they lobbied for criminalizing whacking it in your own private life? ...
Lol, you see where I'm going with that.. It'd be nuts, just like it is with abortion.. Abortion isn't any different than a broken arm, so why should Bobby-Joe down the streets opinion about what the fuck I do with my broken arm matter when it comes to what the fuck I actually do with my own broken arm? It's my arm dickhead, just because you believe some demons will take mah soul or some bullshit if I heal it with modern medicine doesn't mean you get to tell me what to do with it.
I'm not a conservative in any typical sense, but I'll try to answer.
First a broken arm is isolated to your body, and I agree with you, how or if you administer medical attention to your broken arm is your business.
Some people think an abortion includes multiple entities (persons?) and isn't just isolated to one person. It would seem apparent that at some point in a pregnancy another living and feeling entity is present, the question seems to be when or if that other entity has rights pre-birth and how those rights might be protected and by whom.
If the other entity (unborn child) does have rights, some people feel it is the job of government to protect them.
I don't as a rule feel that government protects rights, so I seldom seek answers from "them". As far as whacking it goes, just don't leave it on the floor at Wendy's and I'm cool with whatever you want to do in the privacy of your own home.
