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.
You make the mistake of assuming that giving them the authority to do whatever they want to "promote the sanctity of life" would actually be used to do that, and never simply use it as an excuse to punish people who's politics the don't like.
Take a good hard look at the beltway bureaucracies and the people who work there. Can you honestly tell me you think they can be trusted with that kind of authority without abusing it?
