What the hell were they thinking?

Generally I don't comment on government affairs, but in this instance I feel the need to say something. What the fuck is the government doing legislating what a woman can or can not due to her body?

House approves ban on controversial abortion procedure
Senate to take up measure

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House voted Thursday to ban a type of abortion that
for years has been at the center of the debate over a woman's reproductive
rights. President Bush has promised to sign the bill into law and opponents say
they will immediately challenge it in court...
----------

I really hope that they do challenge this particular law in court. If the government decides that it has the ability to regulate what a woman does to her body, what is to stop them from doing even stupider things such as banning breast implants or telling men that they can’t go to the gym more than 4 days a week?

The government needs to stop meddling in affairs that they have no right getting into. Actually I suppose it isn’t really the government doing this, but individual lawmakers who have very religious upbringings (ill let you guess which religion I am referring to).

As someone said to me the other day “The Bible is like Google for Catholics. They can find anything inside of it that they want to.”

For those of you who want to read the rest of the article

This is something that I feel very, very strongely about. There is nothing that I can imagine being worse in the world than being an unwanted child. People say that adoption is an alternative, but that still leaves you with the knowledge that to somebody you were an unwanted child.
Nobody know what is right for a woman except for her. Period.
