Do you think your rights to life and liberty are superior to the baby who is right this second dying at the hands of a Planned Parenthood butcher?
Yes. Here's why.
Abortion is an evil thing that we must fight. But what is the best way to fight evil? I say that securing liberty for a free people is much better way to fight evil. But when you give more power to government you diminish the liberty of the people. Police power has been used to jail protesters at abortion clinics. Public schools ban speech against abortion and other family values. The one nonviolent sanction that free people have, the right of free association, is being eroded.
Most doctors exercise their right to refuse to do abortions but that is starting to erode in some places where they are required to study and practice abortion in medical school. After we have socialized medicine, that right will disappear.
If this trend continues towards liberalizing and marginalizing the constraints established in federal and state constitutions then the people will have no freedom to fight these evils.
