>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.

How about somebody besides a politician. Say, Richard "Dick" Marcinko, of "Rouge Warrior" fame?

So are you claiming that you have the right under the Constitution to commit murder if you think it convenient?

You obviously don't know me very well. I'm definitely for less government. That's why I'm not a registered Republican - because they have grown the government (at least) as much as the Demo-rats. But when it comes to the issue of abortion - I feel that preborn babies are persons, with rights. And what kind of society are we if we don't respect innocent life?
