To: perfect stranger; yall

Everyone knew the decision in Roe v. Wade was a joke.

The decision hinged on the convenient notion of "privacy," which, oddly enough, still fails to protect my right to manufacture methamphetamine,
saw off shotgun barrels
or euthanize the elderly, privately or otherwise.
-AnnC-





Hmmm, I've always been of the opinion that it was perfectly Constitutional to make mind altering substances [like booze], for my private use.
[Granted, winemaking can be 'regulated', -- if I sell it]

The same goes for making a 'short' shotgun for home use. If it never leaves my house, what's the harm to society?

Who gave the government the power to 'regulate' the length of shotgun barrels, or make home remedies?
Naturally, "euthanizing the elderly, privately or otherwise", is murder, a criminal act. --- Just as is killing a viable baby..

-- But then Ann has never let a good line stand in her way of making what she sees as a witty point.

She is getting to be the ~joke~ , by trying to claim the government can prohibit guns, drugs, booze, or sexual privacy by simple decree.
Prohibitionism is not conservatism, Ann, -- its authoritarianism.

Ann is pointing out the the hypocripsy of the court in saying one has a right to "privacy" but only when it comes to abortion. The court believes we don't have a right to privacy when it comes to sawed-off shotguns, drugs, etc.

In no way does Ann give an opinion as to wether she believes these activities are constitutional.

You're the joke Paine. A one joke johnny who actually believes that sodomy is an inalienable right worthy of Constitutional protection but believes that the right to life is simply a tenth amendment issue.

But what's worse is the indignity you express when the same morons fudge on the second amendment. Live by judicial activism, die by judicial activism.
