Because like you I want the government out of my life as much as possible. I'm not against "giving people the same right to decide whether or not to have abortion in their state," I'm in favor of giving people the right to decide. If there is a law against it, they do NOT have a right to decide, they must do with their bodies what the state tells them to do with their bodies.
Look, I don't like the idea of abortion at all. I also don't like the idea of a state telling anybody that they (the state) control a person's body for 9 months if that person gets pregnant. Its a bad choice either way, and I come down in favor of privacy, of freedom to choose. I think its somewhat easier for me because I don not believe that life begins at conception. So while abortion is ugly and distasteful to me, its not murder.
It also easier for me, because I am absolutely certain that the constitution contains a right to privacy, a right to be left alone by the government. It has not right to tell us what we can and cannot do with our own bodies.
