Okay so Republicans are for small government correct? So they fought to shift abortion rights to be the choice of the state. WHAT IF, we make the government even SMALLER and shift it to be the choice of individuals?

“Government” becomes code for marginalized groups whenever it enacts policy to correct past majority wrongs to those groups. “Government” efforts to rehabilitate blacks into society became a meddling nuisance during Reconstruction (after the Civil War)—leading to Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 and Jim Crow segregation. Overturning Roe V. Wade was simply the culmination of Ronald Reagan— who was formerly Pro Choice— saying that “government” is the problem in the 1970s. “Government” was understood to mean forced school integration, social services, legislated workplace equality for women and blacks, and separating church from state.
