The OP and people like her have no principles.
Principles don't change, no matter the situation.
For the OP "principles" are a matter of convenience. To be used to attack but never to stop what you want in the moment.
Let's take today's nes as an example.
The SCOTUS plans on killing ROE
The OP celebrates this because
The decision will allow government to dictate when and whether women can procreate.
This level of interference in a personal decision should violate every known Conservative principle
But, since it's what the OP wants today, PRINCIPLES BE DAMNED.
The only difference between "Abortion is illegal" and "Abortion is mandatory" is one word.
Give the government the power, which is what you and the OP want, and, one day, that word will change.
BUT
As long as you "win," PRINNCIPLES BE DAMNED
Right?
"This level of interference in a personal decision should violate every known Conservative principle."
More education coming right up: we conservatives believe in inalienable rights, God-given, and government's job is to secure those rights.
Abortion is not a 'right'....you have no 'right' to slaughter another human being.
Here is what ‘rights’ are.
A right is something an individual has by virtue of being human.
Human beings are the only entities that have rights.
Rights belong to each human individually.
Rights are exercised by individuals, and are not given nor ascribed by any person of group, especially governments.
Rights are voluntary, in that individuals may choose whether to either exercise them or to ignore them.
Individual cannot have a right that infringes upon or diminishes the rights of others.
- To be clear, ‘benefits’ such as education, shelter, or a job require resources from somewhere else, and therefore, cannot be given or protected without restricting another’s right to the property of his hands or mind.
For conservatives, rights precede government. Government’s purpose is to protect those rights.
Don't be shy.....the only way to leave ignorance behind is to ask questions.
I'm here to help the .....less able ....you.
