There is nothing more fundamental than the idea that the government does not have a right to decide when and whether we have children.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We want better reasons for having children than not knowing how to prevent them.
The belief that government must be the ultimate nanny to our children is one of the fundamental philosophical disagreements between the Right and Left.
There's something in this country that is so opposed to understanding the complexity of children.
I believe in less government interference in people's personal lives, including whom to marry, when and whether to bear a child and how to raise kind and compassionate children.
Children are not a right, they are a privileged obligation.
Just as the Supreme Court has said that women have the right to choose whether or not to be parents, men should also have that right.
It puts limits on criminals' rights to destroy unborn children without the permission of the woman.
Abortion's a private decision. But I just think it shouldn't be federalized.
The problem is, we live in a society where all that interests us is power and money. So we don't have any interest in our children, and what we leave for our children is not important.
That's possible, and in fact the legislation, the politics should graduate the advantages towards those who have children and give less to those who don't have children.
