Pro-Choice

I heard Mark Steyn on the radio yesterday and he raised an interesting point. I'd like to take it and run with it. Why is it that when the Left talks about abortion in this country, they are always so quick to scream "I'm Pro-Choice", or "A woman has a right to choose", or some such variation, but when it comes to any issue other than abortion where liberals support government interference and intrusion, the only "choice" we are entitled to is to comply or be in violation of the law. As a people, we somehow have a "Constitutional Right to Choose" to abort a child, but when it comes to "choosing" a health insurance plan, well by golly, that needs to be left in the competent hands of the U.S. government. Want to "choose" to own a gun (an ACTUAL Constitutional Right as enumerated in the Bill of Rights)? Well, if the Left had it's way, you would not be able to do so (and in some places, laws have becomes so restrictive as to effectively eliminate the right of gun ownership). I'd like to "choose" to opt out of the sham that is social security, and invest that money myself... I'm no financial genius... in fact I'm really quite a novice... and yet I STILL have more faith in my ability to make competent choices about my retirement/future than a collection of lifetime government bureaucrats. Regardless of my qualifications and motivations, it is MY money and MY "Right To Choose", right? The term "Pro-Choice" has been effective for the Left in terms of abortion... why don't we apply to these other issues that are important to us in mainstream America. "Oh, I'm not anti-labor unions, I'm just Pro-Choice," or "I'm not opposed to social security, I'm pro-choice." Use their own tools against them... bludgeon them with their own rhetoric, so to speak. Or, in simpler terms, give them a dose of their own medicine.
