Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

RE: RE: What about the mandatory contraceptive idea?

Tucker Miller responds to Steve:

Thank you, Steve. I thank you for addressing the MAIN content of my post this time.
So if R v. W is overturned, how would you suggest it be handled? Who gets in trouble for an illegal abortion? The mother? The doctor? The father? The parents (or not engraining abstinence in their promiscuous daughter)?
If rights start at conception...then are children of foreigners, conceived in the US, natural-conceived citizens?
It seems like a slippery slope.
Let me repeat...I AM NOT a proponent of abortions, only of a woman's right to choose.
I consider the federal (or state) government telling me what I can't do to be the worst kind of "big government". (this is the same reason i am opposed to seatbelt and helmet laws, drug laws, and am a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment.)
