Real Family Values

[Bob Blaylock]

BOB BLAYLOCK SAID:

"It's one of the defining stereotypes—a ridiculous cliché—of left wrong-wing ideology, that it sees the solution to every problem as being more government intrusion, more government spending, more taxation to pay for it;and if someone doesn't agree to the overbearing government “solution” to a problem, then one must not agree that the problem should be addressed at all."

Incorrect.

This represents the conservative 'solution' to abortion: more government; increase the size and authority of government at the expense of individual liberty.

Rather than you and others on the right working to violate a woman's right to privacy, develop instead a solution to the problem of abortion that comports with the Constitution and its case law, respecting the right to privacy.

Protecting the lives of innocents, from those who would unjustly take those lives, is certainly one of the most basic and essential functions of government. It is not totalitarianism to want government that holds murderers responsible for their acts.

So you are not willing to spend what is little more than a rounding error in the federal budget to eliminate 40% of abortions?

This funding is not going FOR abortions but to PREVENT abortions.

Isn't that exactly in line with your conservative values?

It's one of the defining stereotypes—a ridiculous cliché—of left wrong-wing ideology, that it sees the solution to every problem as being more government intrusion, more government spending, more taxation to pay for it;and if someone doesn't agree to the overbearing government “solution” to a problem, then one must not agree that the problem should be addressed at all.

It often seems, in fact, that the problem that a particular government action is supposed to address is secondary, to the excuse to get government somehow more deeply involved in people's lives.

The issue that it is government's duty to address here is one of simple criminal justice—the unjustifiable killing of innocent human beings. No need for any great government program to figure out why some people kill other people without just cause. All that we need government to do is to permanently remove these killers from free society, in accordance with proper due process of law.

So you want to ban all IVF too...
