Too inconvenient?
The question is, do you support the government forcing you by law to do this?
My question to you is: Do you personally support the intrusive power of the state coercing its citizens to do this . . . and, if you do, exactly where does your support of coercive state control of a American citizen's private life end?
What's the bar, chief?
If they're in your girlfriend's belly, can they conduct a surprise search of your anus, you know, for the common good?
What is your anus hiding from America, and why is it more sacrosanct to you than your girlfriend's womb?
Well? :|
Why so angry, Perknose? Many choices that people make in a society are guided by the rule of law, even if it seems a bit inconvenient. If you do extensive work on your home, it needs to be inspected. If you'd like to operate heavy machinery, you need to be licensed. If you decide that you'd like to open up a business, there are plenty of hoops that you have to jump through. If you'd like to have an abortion in Oklahoma during the first part of a pregnancy, then undergo an ultrasound. Its a big decision to make (abortion), and Oklahoma is still allowing a choice. It sounds like they would like those women to make the choice with a clear understanding of what they are doing.
Of course the doctors at the abortion clinics don't want to provide an ultrasound, bit of a potential conflict of interest. They are paid to perform abortions, the last thing they want is for somebody to change their mind.
Do you consider having to send your children to school as a coercive power of the state? Obtaining a drivers license? Permit to buy a handgun? Permit to walk your dog in a park (http://www.ci.rochester.mi.us/...ents/dogparkpermit.pdf)? Yes, where do the coercive state controls over an American citizen's private life end?
She already made the choice. Get off her back about it.
