Republicans have aligned with the Evangical Christian right. If their 'born-again christian' philosophy is carried into the Supreme Court (which is the goal of the far right wing) we can look forward to a shift in our basic freedom - that being FREEDOM of CHOICE. We are already living with PROHIBITION - 'vice laws' enacted by those who need to tell the rest of us how and what we can or can't do with OUR OWN BODY.
If the Supreme Court swings to the right (by way of appointment ) we can see a challange to Roe Vs. Wade, restrictions on stem cell research, gay rights, etc. More 'prohibitions' mean more trouble. The 'black market' is thriving as it is along with all it's crime and corruption. I do not want to see us go backwards with our 'personal' freedom of choice, and i'm tired of seeing our tax dollars go down the drain just to enforce a moral standard that never has worked, is not working, and never will work. Right Wing - I, and my body, belong to ME.

A bit overwrought today, are we?

This consideration also extends to the Right to Die movement. If I own my body, I can terminate my life when I see fit. If I don't, society can force me to live against my will. Right-wing moralists interfere with end-of-life decisions that in a free society should belong to the individual. They don't know when to butt out. Their position implies that society (acting on behalf of their moralism) owns us.

here's an excerpt from the us constitution:
Amendment XIV
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
maybe you should look up what "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means.

I am a REPUBLICAN who is in charge of her own body.
HOWEVER, that does NOT mean that certain things I may do to said body are not wrong such as: abortion, slutty behavior, drugs, smoking, drinking, etc. Those are my choices, but I do not expect to be VALIDATED by society for engaging in such poor choices.

Believe me, if this ever did happen, I would take my body and throw it off the edge of the Grand Canyon.
