Liberals, I'm not seeing the chain of logic here. Is it that the government is only allowed in things you agree with, and not in things you disagree with as it pertains to private matters? If the government can force you to do things, and force you NOT to do things, why is there an uproar over abortion bans?

At one point in history they did..abortion was illegal.

Government decides what is right or wrong, moral or not.

In the case of abortion, it's ok because that fetus isn't life.
In the case of murder of a pregnant woman or application for benefits that fetus is another life and is counted.

Just wait until the government forces you to have preventive exams... including invasive ones [pap smear, colonoscopy, etc.]

Pretty soon - if we don't stop the mandate train we will be doing what Japan does - forcing people to get measured and imposing fines on employers who don't make their employees lose weight.

Michelle Obama will call it a national security crisis if people don't herd to the waist size police like good sheep chanting this little ditty:

“Goodbye, metabolic. Let’s get our checkups together. Go! Go! Go!

Goodbye, metabolic. Don’t wait till you get sick. No! No! No!”

Why don't you stop being lazy and google roe vs wade. Seriously, I mean it probably would have taken less time than it takes to make a pointless thread on here.

Google

They also have these things called newspapers nowadays. Perhaps if you tried reading them, you'd already know the answer to your rather basic, rudimentary question that someone in grade school could easily figure out.

There is an "uproar" over a great many things the goverment or some arm of it tries to do. I don't know why you think abortion issues are special in that way.
