...This thread is about action taken by the state. That action may have unintended consequences including the state using its power to veto the healthcare decisions of parents. Liberals do not care about the unintended consequences of legislation. Conservatives do because we fear the power of the state. ...

No, this is about representative democracy and the executive power to enforce the law as a check and balance against judicial tyranny. Unintended consequences can be corrected by ... representative democracy. Take your fear and tell a judge about it.

The actions of a representative democracy can always have untintended consequences. Once the state goes down the road of accumulating more power, those who hold minority viewpoints or religious convictions are toast. Representative democracy is not helpful as long as they remain in the minority. A tyrannical court cannot be corrected by a tyrranical state.

Rejoice in your legislative victory, but look out for your liberal enemies who will use even well-intentioned legislation to advance a liberal agenda.
