Government(s), in my view, are created and funded to do for me, the citizen, ONLY those things I cannot do or decide for myself.
While there’s no doubt that whether or not to have an abortion is a highly charged, complex, life-altering decision, there is equally no doubt that it is something I, and I alone can and should decide for myself. It is I who must live with the consequences of my action.
Therefore, IT IS NOT THE GOVERNMENT’S BUSINESS no more than it was the government’s business to be in the bedroom earlier.
