The Republicans keep screeching that we need less government interference in our lives. Why, then, are they so determined to interfere with my reproductive rights? What choices I make in that regard should be only mine, and not subject to legislation. Only I will have to deal with the consequences of my actions. They don’t want government to have the authority to remove sugary drinks from school lunches to help fight obesity, but they espouse giving government the authority to dictate that I bring a pregnancy to term regardless of my personal situation. Wake up, America, and use your common sense.
