Can someone explain to me how making it hard for a woman to have an abortion or trying to make it illegal to have an abortion follows the tenants of "small government"?
Shouldn't women be free to make their own decisions about their body?
Yet you can't sell a kidney, but you can kill your child because it's not convenient?
Also, when conservatives talk about "small government" they're not referring to individual laws, but say the creation of more bureacracy, more departments, more physical government, more federal employees.
You'd have a point if there was a "Department of Preventing Abortion" which had a 2 billion dollar budget, and 10,000 employees.

Wow, you should get a job being a mindreader, because you can read minds, you know exactly what I'm thinking from across your keyboard. wow! You should offer your services to the messiah as he seems to care about polling so much, he would need a mind reader on his staff! Good luck!

A fetus is not a child.
Before 20 weeks it's just a clump of cells.
Women who have abortions are not doing it for "convenience."
Many times it's a matter of economics.
Of course if these women bring these fetuses to term they'll be criticized if they need WIC, food stamps, Medicaid, etc.
You just can't win with some conservatives.
If you have an abortion you're evil and a sl*t but if you bring the fetus to term and decided to keep your child but you need WIC, food stamps, etc. you're lazy and a "leech" on the system.
I'd have more respect for the anti-abortion movement if they put more time and resources into preventing abortions. Many "pro-life" groups are against birth control. Why be against something that can help prevent abortions if you're SO against abortions?

And on your planet, economics has nothing to do with convenience?
"It's not in my best economic interest right now to have this child, so I'll abort it, this has nothing to do with my convience"
