Sometimes the will of the People is evil, and the job of a just goverment is to turn away that evil will and do what is just, regardless.

Especially because bystanders are usually dragged into the supposedly private/family decision.

That happens because, whenever one person or group is guaranteed "rights," another group or person gets obligations to enforce or carry out those "rights." The people who are asked to enforce or carry out those "rights" may believe they are forced to act against their consciences.

• Pharmacists are told they must distribute "morning after pills."
• Police are told they must make sure the starvation of a brain damaged patient is not interferred with*
• Med students are told they must learn to perform abortions
• Will Justices of the peace be told they must marry same sex couples?

* "[Nancy Cruzan, three days before her death from starvation] turned and looked at me and stared at me with a panicky look, sweating profusely, and the thought I had was, she was thinking, ‘Oh, here’s a policeman, he’ll help me.’ But we weren’t allowed to do that,"...Doug Seneker
