16. Constitutional rights go both ways. You can't tell someone to

Sat Jul 13, 2013, 01:17 PM

Jul 2013

not use a form on birth control because you don't believe in it and a person can't be told to limit their family size to 1.8 children.

I wonder if right wingers ever think of that? What if Uncle Sam told you that you could only have 2 children? Cuts both ways.
