I wasn't entirely sure, but it sounded like Tate talked Sophia into an
abortion (across state lines?) - and the show was pathetically preachy
on the subject of parental consent, which all normal people are
completely in favor of.

Yes, but many states where it's legal, still require parental conset
under a certaion age.

Read that again - I'm saying regular people support parental consent laws.

This is another area where the Left is laughably inane - they don't
think kids should buy cigarettes or alcohol, and (generally) seem to
support parental consent for tattoos and cosmetic surgery, but think
kids should have abortions and sex change operations without their
parents' consent. It's asinine.

You're a lunatic. Laws on prohibition of achohol sales were originally
written by conservatives for supposed religious reasons. However,
teenagers are genetically predisposed to STOOPID and don't require
assistance from intoxicating substances.

Tobacco use -- addictive but not behavior altering -- shouldn't be
prohibited, but again, to the extent that there were early laws
prohibitting tobacco sales and use, they came from conservatives.

Where the hell did you ever get the idea that the church lady isn't
there to impose behavioral restrictions upon everybody else?
