880. Party of Choice???

Wouldn't this be perceived as a strange meme from the party of choice? How could we be proponents of a woman's right to choose what happens to her body at the same time that we want to force her body into some kind of service she may not want to participate in.

**I say this is as someone who tried the Army in college**

How would we be different from republicans who think they have the right to think for people...on same sex marriage, abortion, marijuana, etc...if we simply attempted to do the same thing. I mean, I get that it sounds like "it would be good for the community". But, republicans have a long list of things that they want for supposedly the same reason.

Why would we want to deny people the right to a choice? It just doesn't sound like a progressive idea. In fact, it sounds a bit regressive. I know you don't want slavery. But, why wouldn't it be perceived as such, by a country with people in it, who are descendants of slavery.

I don't think this is a very good idea. The only time I hear it mentioned is when people think others have become too entitled. It's always others. Although, my first thought is that one would have to feel mighty entitled to sit around and plot involuntary servitude for others.

As for a sense of community...it certainly doesn't give me a feeling of community thinking about it. Would my grandchildren, find themselves in the same predicament as my ancestors? Whose to say, the people who find themselves in charge of a "automatic, guaranteed" workforce would treat them properly.

Slaves weren't treated properly. Indentured servants weren't treated properly. Heck, not even grad students and athletes are treated properly. We don't have a history of things like this working well. Maybe it does work for some countries. Few countries have our history, though. We couldn't say that something that works well in Norway would work for America. America isn't Norway. What works there couldn't possibly be generalized to any other place except Norway...or places that were darn similar to Norway.

I think it would be hypocritical for the party of choice, to eliminate...choice???
