In reply to the discussion: (XLNT ?) Why should buying a gun be any easier than having an abortion?" [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,412 posts)There doesn't seem to be any reasonable restrictions when it comes to buying guns that aren't immediately denounced as profoundly dangerous to the 2nd Amendment RKBA but the same group of people don't have any problems with disrespecting the other Amendments to our Constitution and see nothing dangerous about big government forcing themselves into womens vaginas and people's bedrooms in general. And their concern about "big government" getting in between patients and their doctors hits the hypocrisy jackpot, particularly when they pass laws telling doctors what to do and what they can/can't tell their female patients about their pregnancies. Where is the AMA and other medical organizations when it comes to these kind of laws? Some of them loudly denounced ACA but seem noticeably silent about these other kinds of REAL intrusions on their practice of medicine.
I'd also like to know why Republicans think it's an abomination that the government can require people to purchase health insurance but then turn around and force women seeking a LEGAL abortion to have purchase a separate and totally UNNECESSARY medical procedure (i.e. ultrasound). I know that they probably have some convoluted logic to explain it but it just seems more than a tad hypocritical to me. The Republican Party and its supporters and allies are nothing if not a plethora of contradictions IMHO.
