People are either sovereign over their bodies or they are not.

They're not! Never have been. The state passes all sort of laws to outlaw many things that we do with our bodies, prostitution, suicide, drug use, etc.

So? That's my point isn't it?

Didn't it take a Constitutional AMENDMENT to bring about the Prohibition?

All of that has been done away with! All It takes is consenting adults so said the SCOTUS.

And the state is dead wrong there too. The state should limit itself to keeping us from preying on each other. Punishing sinners is God's job.

You're sooo right. If I truly had the right to do what I want with my body, like the pro-aborts say, I should be able to stand on the corner and chop off my own arm. Everyone around me would have to accept the situation, as it is my decision to do what I want with my body.

Of course, in reality, the cops would be called, I would be hauled off to a mental hospital on a 5150, and everyone would call me crazy. In that case, the "state" would be allowed to decide what I can and can't do with my own body.

It truly amazes me that THAT is the argument the pro-aborts give over and over in rationalizing their "right" to kill their babies. Yet if it was anything OTHER than a fetus, it would NOT be tolerated.
