I've said something like this before, I know it. This is the legacy of Nixon and his cohorts. Plain and simple. The fundamental lie of conservatism here is that they care about anything but preserving power to protect the elite and their interests. All their social issue stands flow from the point of being a cudgel against blocks who'd benefit from Democratic policies more or less. I'm much more curious why I don't hear more about the privacy aspect of Roe v. Wade from pro choice advocates. I agree that women's rights to choose what to do with their own bodies are their own, but isn't it a much broader and easier to agree on point to say that the government doesn't have a right to view your medical records and decide what procedures you have done? Man or woman? Privacy was the crux of Roe and I never hear that word in debates.
