Why do so many “Conservatives” aim to stifle my “Freedom of Choice?
I can’t help but feel that the so-called “right” is making personal choices for me without my consent. In the last 50 years, they have fought tooth & nail make sure that if my brother rapes me, I don’t have a choice to abort that bastard child. They’ve taken away my choice to let my patrons smoke in my bar - they’ve declared WAR on plants I may or may not choose to grow and or use, they’ve attempted to tell me that I can only be an American, if I choose to be a Christian.
What ever happened to: Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness - what ever happened to letting ME decide what I do (or don’t do) with my own life or death?

There has been no attempts to abolish abortion. Smoking bans are liberal in nature. Nobody has declared war on plants, you just can't get constantly stoned and have to have the US taxpayer foot the bill. There are no attempts to establish a national religion.
This is over the top hysteria. There are no facts to support this conspiracy.
Don't believe all the propaganda. Research and discover the facts.

January 22, 1973: Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 finally decided in the Supreme Court by a 7 to 2 majority. The court held that under the Fourteenth Amendment most U.S. abortion laws are unconstitutional.
You have not had to worry about this since 1973 and will never have to. Why are you asking this.
America was really Christian then and few want to stop legal abortions.
You are making sh/t up.

Here is why.
Conservatives want the govenrment to not interfere in economics, but will use it to enforce their own moral standards. In this case though, conservatives view a fetus as life, and so, abortion is murder. They don't see it as your freedom of choice, but as the baby's right to life. I'm sure that if it could be conclusively proven that a fetus is not alive, then they wouldn't have a problem with it.

it particularly is physically powerful! the biggest difference is: Conservatives have faith in God, smaller government, and private duty. Liberals go through a psychological illness and have faith (examine as dream) that the State (i.e. government) might desire to play the region of God with a view to create a Heaven on earth (the place there's no choose for inner maximum duty b/c the government will make all alternatives for all persons). i'm fairly specific that's what the tale above gets at.

I am conservative and very pro-choice. Were abortion rights limited in the past GOP administration? No. They won't be either.
If you are waiting for your brother to rape you, you have much bigger problems than we can discuss on here.
For your information it was the Democratic green party clean air people who limited the right to smoke in our city. Are you blaming them? No, again you are very wrong. I feel sorry for you.

Liberals are no better. I view how one chooses to spend their money as "freedom of choice" liberals do not want to give people that choice, nor do conservatives for the most part.

What choice is that ?
You don't have a choice about anything else concerning your body.
You are not allowed to go to a doctor and have healthy arm tissue removed ( IE: arm amputated )
Your not allowed to go have healthy lung tissue removed ( have a lung removed )
So evidently you do NOT have a right to your body.
2. Conservatives did not ban smoking in bars, liberals did.
3. Conservatives did not ban Pot, liberals did.

Other than the smoking you can actually do all that stuff you listed, the smoking obviously a no brainier since its a health hazzard not only to you but the people around you and were pushing that out of our society.

Because they are right wing intolerant totalitarians, they want to control everybody, and punish or make it unlivable for those who don't buy into their politics and practices. They are really neo fascists, although they won't admit it
Hope this helps
