It is quite simple. If the government feels it's entitled to remove the choice of abortion, then it will feel it's entitled to remove other choices it deems wrong as well. And then we are screwed.

Murder is illegal. Should the government give us the legal "choice" to commit murder? How about rape?

You can twist and turn it anyway you want. The fact is, the government has too much control over our lives anyways. I'm sure some of you would like a cabinet-level Secretary of Morality. That's fine and dandy, I think the Taliban has one of those. Oh wait they do.

Whether you think abortion is right or wrong or murder or whatever, the fact is, the more government has control over what you can do, the worse off you our. History has proven this over and over. These things start off small, government restricts this little bit over here, that little bit over there, pretty soon, you have to show papers everywhere you go and get approval to travel out of the city and to take a job.
