Perhaps we should provide protective body armor for our unborn children. There seems to be a significant amount of deaths in the womb or during attempts to exit therefrom.
What ever happened to “My body, my choice”?
Selective liberal logic at work.
Right on, Bob.
As a biker who prefers to usually ride without a helmet, but has to wear one in Virginia, I’ll quote an expert: “Helmets save lives - but not many.”
Even a full-face helmet will rarely save a life in any motorcycle accident above 45 mph. The human body just isn’t designed to absorb the shock of hitting solid objects at that speed, and internal injuries will almost always kill if an object is hit regardless of helmet.
No one has ever done statistical research on how many lives are saved by wearing helmets, mainly because it would be so difficult to determine whether a helmet would have saved a life or not. Doubtless there are some accidents where helmets save lives. But they appear to be few.
But if the gov. can dictate helmets, where do the safety protection requirements stop, as many here have said? Take the logic to its conclusion, and I should never leave my home. Just like taxes.....how much is enough?
A true story I love is a biker friend rides his V-Twin Yamaha to work 12 months a year, wears a full-face and “Robo-Cop” superman suit. He is a nurse anesthetist in the area’s largest public hospital and works in the ER. Initially his co-workers would say, “Look! Motorcycle accident!” every time someone was brought in from one.
He silenced them when he began saying, “Look! Car accident!” every time one came in, and they were 20x as many in number.
“My body - My choice”. Is only valid if you want to kill your unborn child. All other uses of the phrase/right whathaveyou, are invalid.
