Why do liberals wish to prevent libraries from putting filters on library computers accessed by children? I think children should not be exposed to pornography. Why do liberals think the government should control what is or isn't taught to children? I think how my children are educated is a very personal matter. There are Republicans on both sides of the issues you raise so your use of the word Republican in your questions is problematic. I could have replaced the word liberal with Democrat and not had the same problem. The Republican party is a much larger tent.

I was talking about why democrats want to get into every bedroom in the U.S. But now we move to some other republican questions. Fine. <<How do you explain the right of Republicans to interfere with reproduction in terms of abortion?>> Nobody, republican or democrat has a 'right' to interfere. Your question has a faulty premise. <<WHy do Republicans wish to put filters on library computers?>> Republicans, democrats and independents are all concerned about child pornography and pornography aimed at children. The fact that republicans oppose public funding for such is admirable, don't you think? <<Why do Republicans wish to post the 10 Commandments in public schools?>> Not just republicans, but some catholics of all political stripes. I don't agree with them.
