You do not understand the right to privacy do you? That whole line of cases impacts a whole host of others issues and rights I am sure you never thought of- I KNOW you never thought of. I have taken constitutional law and at least read and considered the cases which I am sure you have not. If there is no right of privacy, I see no reason why the State could not force women on welfare to use contraceptives. If we do not control our bodies the State will control them for us and I believe your blind zealousness on this one issue prevents you from seeing the hideous outgrowths of such a policy. Thank goodness you aren't in charge of anything except your own pecker.

Bob:
The simple fact is in a free society where individual freedoms are respected and government is subordinated to the rights of the individual, drugs would not be illegal. At the most they would be regulated.

Nor would the government have any power to confiscate personal property. Nor would there be a BATF, a DEA or EPA agents running around with guns. (Why does the EPA need armed agents now??)

<The fact that abortion was a back alley operation before roe v wade shows it was
not accepted. It was illegal until that was reversed by the extreme court in 1973. They
pulled a rabbit out of their hat and said it was there all along, which it was not. It's
another step forward in the process to institute the policies of radical elitists who want to
limit the growth of the lower classes.>

Bob, are you seriously asserting that the elites support abortion so that there will be fewer poor children born?

If so, do you have any proof at all? I certainly wasn't aware that poor women got abortions more frequently than any others, and I have never seen any statistics that would lead me to believe so.
