Conservatives can’t have it both ways

Bob Minchin mentions that any true conservative is appalled by intrusive agencies and overbearing regulations. He then proceeds to completely contradict those principles as he talks about regulating abortion. A government telling a woman what to do with her body is not only intrusive and overbearing but also degrading. Comparing abortion to genocide is offensive toward all people who have lived through an actual genocide.

Government regulation not conservative

In response to Bob Minchin’s column on Friday, I find it surprising that one who is appalled by intrusive government agencies and overbearing regulation believes government intrusion and regulation is necessary in the case of unwanted pregnancy. I guess I was wrong to assume a “true conservative” is actually conservative and not just a shill parroting the Republican party line.
