I think the ACLU often goes too far,
Like when?

but I am no proponent of a strict secular humanist government even though it may be the fairest way.
So, you do not like the idea of the fairest government?
Curious.

You can't elect to have a hysterectomy without a doctor to legitimize the need, no matter how old you are,
That is completely untrue.
People have elective hysterectomies all the time.

Re: Elective
Hmm, I see what you mean, although someone with symptoms as "benign" as heavy menstrual flow elect to have their uteruses removed.
There are "purely" elective hysterectomies that are done for sex-reassignment surgery, but those wouldn't be very common.
The point is, though, that an abortion and a hysterectomy are not really equivalent operations, and are not undertaken for the same reasons.
A closer comparison would be elective sterilization surgery, or perhaps the removal of a benign tumor.

Re: NJ makes it onto FSTDT.
Found Messenjah there, too.
Messenjah for these doozies:
"Actually if a human next to a dinosaur enveloped in ice was ever found, it probably would disapear and never reach the public eye. Do you how much evidence has been destroyed and taken by the government and evolutionists."
"Would you please stop trying to use my age [14] against me... I have read testimonies by creationists (not Hovind) that say they found evidence that would null evolution, but that evidence was either stolen, taken away by government or the owners of the property where the evidence was found or the owners were forced to dispose of the evidence."
