Re: What happened to "It's my body, I get to choose?" Democrats?
I am kinda surprised at the Democrats... even to their own people they have mixed messaging...
Abortions? It is your body do as you wish...
Drugs? It is your body do as you wish...
Prostitution? Same..
Tatoos all over the place for a 14 year old? yes go ahead if your parents complain we can call social services!
Birth Control for a 12 year old in a school nurses office? No we wont tell mommy cause it is your body!
The Democrats have for decades fielded themselves as the "It is your body so you can do as you want" with it.
But this has been changing in the last 15 or so years... And is shown deeply in the ranks of the party now.
Sugar?
NO! It is not healthy for your body so we must limit it! http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002830454 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/9477961/Tax-fizzy-drinks-suggest-Lib-Dems.html http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-06-01/news/31965855_1_ban-on-sugary-drinks-mayor-bloomberg-soda
Fats?

At first Democrat messaging was "You are responsible enough to do as you please with your body"
Now it is changing to "Only we know what you should do with your body"
So which is it? Oh wait your going to try to claim it is for your health and society is paying for it. Well it does not need to be that way at all.
Kemp currently not being responded to until he makes CONCISE posts.
Avogardo and Noir ignored by me for life so people know why I do not respond to them. (Informational)
