Government Shouldn't Prevent Murder?

Most if not all of those who testified against the new abortion ban, HB 1293, today railed against government intrusion into a "private" area.

Funny how the abortion issue has caused liberals to sound like conservatives. It's normally conservatives who have a problem with government butting into people's private business. After all, conservatives don't like government forcing their kids to be taught evolution is fact, Christianity is a myth, being told a kangaroo rat takes precedence over their property rights, and so on.

But what these pro-abortion liberals completely ignore is that the first (and one of the few legitimate) role of government is to protect the innocent. If the unborn child is a human life--and science indicates that it is--then abortion is murder. And the prevention of murder should be at the top of the list of things government should do.
