How is any woman's pregnancy any of my business, your business, or the government's business?

They are remarkably relevant considering they are from 58 years ago.
How horrifyingly selfish are those women who "choose" to kill their unborn child. (Interesting how it takes two to create new life, but only one to destroy it, isn't it?)
A woman does have a choice: she can "choose" to have sex; but when she "chooses" sex, she also "chooses" the possibility she will aid in the creation of new life.
The killing of unborn children is a manifestation of a cultural death wish. It is the generations who follow you that perpetuate the human race, in whatever culture you live.
Why am I suddenly thinking Being! Being! of a pinball machine with a lisp?
We have no argument on your point about welfare.
It is not the two independent cells, but the one cell that they form that constitutes a human being. The zygote. That single cell has a DNA structure created by the DNA structure of each of the two cells, that is unique in the history of mankind. No "human" has ever been born with that particular DNA, nor will any other "human" ever be born in the future.
Kinda shoots "The Great Man Theory" in the foot, if you get my drift.

Is the function of a road network a good thing? Yes. However, it is not a legitimate constitutional function of limited government and it would have been done by business interests if the federal government had remained true to its constitutional functions.
If the US government had not given in to the military industrial complex after WW2 and funded a massive peacetime expansion of the military, would there have been an arms race with the USSR? No. Would the world have been a much safer place if government, banking, and defense industry propaganda had not created a boogie-man to fear in southeast Asia? Yes. If those trillions of dollars of the peoples' scarce resources remained in control of the people, what extraordinary products would we be using today that have not yet been invented?
Actions have unintended consequences. Every supposedly beneficial unconstitutional government action taken has prevented a more beneficial result being completed in the private sector.
