Live in Indiana? Give the gift of Abortion!

Why do pro-life people act like pro-choice people are pro-abortion? And why do they act like forcing everyone else to adopt the same behavior as you is the morally superior choice?

I think abortion is terrible. But that doesn't mean I think it should be illegal. People should make the decision for themselves, just like whether or not they decide to have sex in the first place.

Some people find interracial marriages to be immoral, and find smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol to be immoral. The government is not a moral referee, and it is ironic that many people who think the government should be a moral referee are against government intervention in any other context.

We'll take halogamer for instance. He is against government sponsored healthcare and against "socialism," but he is for the government telling women how to control their bodies.

Why should the government get involved? Shouldn't we let "the market" or social education programs fix the problem? Its just unnecessary regulation on private behavior that the government should have no interest in whatsoever.

Why should the government give tax exemptions to churches? I find that morally offensive.

I don't give two craps about whether churches get tax exemptions, I'm not "religious" per se... so that's irrelevant.  Give them tax breaks, don't give them tax breaks, I don't care... no one dies either way.

Smoke, don't smoke, I don't care so long as people don't do it around me, because I find it unhealthy and I think cigarette smoke stinks... as long as they give themself lung cancer and not me, I really could care less.  It's none of my business.

Interracial marriage?  I don't care either way, once again, whether you are white and marry white, or decide to marry black or hispanic instead, I don't care... it affects no one on this earth either than the two people who got married.

I have never asked the government to be a "moral referee" as you imply. 

I only ask the government to do what the constitution requires it to do, and that is to provide for the safety and welfare of all individuals who live within its borders.  And children within the womb have zero rights, and that is just outrageous. 

It also has nothing to do with, "a womans body" like you are saying.  If a woman wants to cut off her hand, tattoo "666" on her forehead, mutilate her body, or any other thing in this world, I could care less.. it's her business.  But a woman does not have the right to decide whether or not another being live or dies.  That has nothing to do with "a womans body".  If a woman doesn't want to get pregnant, she should either close her legs, or use the proper protection... that is her right.  And for Christ's sake, it's not that damn hard to do! Use a condom or birth control... it's not rocket science!  No one is forcing the woman to get pregnant, that's why Trojan make condoms in multiple sizes... just to make sure there is one for every size... or hell, use the pill!  There are so many ways to avoid this issue it's not even funny.

Not to take the proper precautions is just lazy... just like avoiding your responsibility to your child when you couldn't keep your legs shut.
