I'm sorry. Where is the 'defy government regulation' bit?
My prochoice friends work to stop ANY restriction or regulation at all of abortion,
even to move the ban from Y weeks to X weeks (or add this condition or that one)
because they see it as a threat -- that if you let the prolife side legislate even one bit of law, then they will try to control
it more and more. So you have to nip it in the bud and oppose ANY regulation by govt of abortion as a political move by the rightwing trying to regulate women's choices of reproductive health.
And these same friends put up with the ACA although it penalizes people for the simple choice of wanting the FREE CHOICE to pay for health care another way besides buying insurance.
How can you justify penalizing that and resist any penalty or regulation on choice of abortion?
As my bf states it, why fight to keep govt out of your womb and then hand over your whole body?
(for the liberal prochoice who want single payer and just see the ACA as a transition, what about when the prolife want to pass laws that get struck down because they are seen as a transition?)
They don't understand the people for limited govt and states rights see this regulation
much the same way they see the prolife legislation as seeking to take over control and putting more regulation in the hands of govt.
I can understand why people have their own views and not the other.
What I cannot understand:
why can't they understand and RESPECT the other side's
same arguments for wanting free choice and not wanting federal govt to regulate that?
Argh!
All I hear is they invalidate each other, as just wanting CONTROL and not caring about the health or lives of the people affected.
both sides argue that while INVALIDATING each other's views. how is this prochoice if you attack and treat other views as nonexistent and excluded from public policy???
