No informed consent for adults? For ALL medical care, which includes the preventive care of everything from vaccinations to pap tests? I believe in CHOICE, which goes far beyond reproduction.

Medicine, and big Pharams, have far too much power as it is.

when he let us know he was brain-farting for 2016.

Saw Carson '16 bumper stickers soon after...

I guess the announcement is that he's endorsing $HOT_SEXY_GOP_OF_THE_DAY and dropping out to obscurity.
