As for helmets and seat belts, give me a break. These are well outside the bounds of the discussions about abortion.

They may not be in the same class with abortions in terms of import, but the concept is identical. It's about nanny legislating personal and private behavior. Perhaps you have to be a libertarian to recognize how offensive it is for people who aren't to co-opt the "choice" banner. It's every bit as hypocritical and offensive as the "life" banner.
