For years the mantra for the Pro-Choice movement has been "Keep your laws off my body". The Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion in America is based upon a woman's right to privacy, especially from the government, regarding medical decisions. Abortion rights advocates oppose even such modest proposals as Informed Consent as an unacceptable governmental interference in the doctor/patient relationship. Last night I heard two Pro-Choice advocates repeat what I have heard others say hundreds of times, "I'm not pro-abortion, I just don't think the government should be making decisions best left to doctors and patients".
Question: Why are all these same activists and politicians in favor of universal health care?

Thanks for leaving your comments. Feel free to be forthright and blunt. I have no problem with disagreement. Please do refrain from using any profanity, bigotry or name calling. All comments are moderated, which means I have to approve them before they will be posted. ANONYMOUS comments will not be published. I put my name on my opinions for all to judge, I will only publish comments likewise submitted.
I'm adding 2 addenda to my comments policy.
1) The invitation to leave comments about my posts is not to be construed as an invitation to endless, pointless debate. I do have a life away from this computer, and don't wish to spend what time I do have lingering on one topic. There's too much going on. Sincere questions will be answered. Questions designed to simply be the starting point for argument may be considered rhetorical.
2) This is MY blog. I have recently discovered the inability of some to remain on topic. I reserve the right to deem comments too stupid to use up my space.
