If you believe that life begins at conception, and the the federal goverment is empowered and requried to do everything possible to protect that life, then everything the mother does from the moment of conception until birth that could potenially affect the health of that baby is subject to federal control, monitoring and regulation.
They can make her life hell if they want to.
I’m still not getting it.
I’m trying to get it. I am. I still want to know how being pro-life equates to being a nanny stater.
But what you said does lead me to think what we pro-lifers would like to see:
Sonograms.
Rick Perry - for instance - is a proponent of requiring a mother to obtain and view a sonogram before allowing her baby to be ripped apart in utero. We all know the abortionist crowd howls in anguish at that idea because why? It works. If a young mother sees her living child, there is much less of a chance that she will murder it.
But. How is that making her life “hell”? If that is “Big Government intrustion”, then yeah. Count me in.
I make NO APOLOGIES for anything the government might do in promoting the sanctity of life.
