Most conservatives I know want to decentralize decision making, lower taxes, and deregulate the economy.


Except as regards gay or abortion rights, military funding, and drug policy. Right?

I know that's the case for every conservative I know, at least. They stand for those values in the abstract, as an ostensibly philosophy to undergird their politics... But oppose those values in practice.


Under the current Roe v Wade regime, abortion law is centralized to 9 judges on the Supreme Court.

Republicans want to decentralize this to democratic decisions in each state.


Why not decentralize this democratic decision further - let individuals choose whether they're pro-choice or pro-life?
