42. Natural or God given rights

Fri Feb 24, 2012, 01:21 PM

Feb 2012

The Founders thought it was self evident that each individual had certain Natural or God given rights.
That included domain over your own body.

I take it as self evident that it is your right to choose contraception or not.
As you have domain over your own body.
It is only extreme religious dogma that says otherwise.

The law should not get involved.
It should be left to individual choice.
