If an abortion is illegal, rights are being violated. Therefore, the decision should not be in the hands of the government because the government should never be in the position to put one person's unalienable rights above another person's.

What?! That's the one of the main reasons we HAVE a government! There are going to be times one person's "rights" may conflict with another's and there should be as unbiased and impartial decision makers making the decision about what is the best possible solution. It certainly shouldn't be left up to the conflicting individuals.

Using this logic, the government shouldn't have made the decision to get rid of slavery.
