They can choose to never have one or have one- but to be against the law is ludicrous. The government shouldn't be allowed to tell anyone what to do with their body. That's what it's about to me. <br /><br />And truer words couldn't have been said: "Students used to represent the commitment to critical thinking and reason (I know, a heavy concept, but maybe it's time to reclaim it).
