Laurie,
Nobody is making women reproduce. The issue is the rights of the unborn.
The government is there partially to tell us what we can and can't do. Some
of their decisions aren't so pleasant, but I'm glad that they restrict
criminals' liberties for instance. And I'm sure we all don't appreciate
having the government take away half our income.
You're right, though. It shouldn't be in the hands of politicians. We
should purge Congress of politicians and fill it with statesmen.
