Pushing the idea that people are too stupid and selfish to be trusted to decide for themselves is helping them assume the authority to make those decisions for us.

One doesn't need to push that idea at all. It's liberally demonstrated in millions of homes.
The unmitigated HEAVY HANDED CONTROL of the oxygen flow to the lungs of unborn and other children is rampant all over the place. It's not per se merely an idea. It's a vigorously implemented tyrannical and successful conquest over the defenseless acted out tens of millions of times daily.
Such people are NOT deciding merely "for themselves." They are deciding arbitrarily, tyrannically, Nazi-like for the defenseless. And such decisions are defended vigorously with denial, selfishness, laziness, arrogance, self-righteousness, great hostility etc. all the while pretending great freedom loving ethics--EXCEPT, OF COURSE, for the defenseless unborn and other children and their lungs.
