Private Family Matters

On the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade (an odd number on which to get sentimental), President Obama released a statement that begins with this extraordinary claim:
As we mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we must remember that this Supreme Court decision not only protects a woman’s health and reproductive freedom, but also affirms a broader principle: that government should not intrude on private family matters.
Private family matters such as which car to buy, which doctor to use, or which insurance plan to purchase…well, those are certainly the business of Barack Obama. But whether or not a helpless, arguably human life (depending on when you think such begins) is destroyed, that’s no one’s business! How is this man so widely considered a serious political thinker?
