Interesting thought... That's because you are looking at it backwards. It seems you think the government needs to explicitly grant freedoms such as abortion because society feels it in their interest. But rather in a free country, the individual would have a right to the abortion and the government would have to exclude it by creating a law banning it
but wrong according to US standards. The problem with this thinking is that our founders believed that we were endowed by our creator (which is probably a problem for a lot of y'all) with the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If you think about this logically, you can't promote and protect life while pursuing and embracing death. People often think of my position as being hypcritical, but I notice that pro-abortionist all benefit from the fact that their mothers did not choose the procedure. Unfortuantely we cannot ask the children of those that did choose the procedure. Perhaps if we took a poll of those, I may re-evaluate my position.
