It’s not “limited government” that tells women what they can do with their bodies, tells anyone who they can love, teachers what they can teach, or librarians what books they can have on their shelves. That’s not a limited government, it’s a dangerously encroaching government.

Federal Government should not have those rights. Only people should have the right to decide about their bodies, who they love as long as it doesn't include minor children, and what the people want their children taught in schools and books in libraries.

Yes, the gov't needs to drop all seatbelt laws, all insurance requirements, vaccine mandates, so they're not telling women (and men) what we can do with our bodies. However, murder is still murder, and women are not privileged to get away with it.

Nobody is concerned about YOUR body. The rest is for the public, by the public. Public funds mean we ALL have a say. If you want YOUR kid to have pornographic books then buy it for them, but my kid shouldn’t have access to them without my explicit permission.

Women can do what they want with their bodies but they don’t get to hire physicians with state medical licenses and nurses to help kill other human beings for profit, regulating medical professionals, and commerce is well within the scope of limited government.

How a bout the parents/tax payers the support the schools having a say in what their kid are taught and whether or not the library has smut and porn. How about the local schools controled locally and not the feds printing money and doling it out to corrupt union members.

Marianne, Republicans want these decisions to be decided at the state or local level. Limiting the federal government is the priority. Decisions like Roe *expanded* the power of the federal government—they didn’t limit it.
