If the Left were really concerned about dependence on foreign companies...
then they wouldn't oppose efforts to expand domestic energy production. No, the Left is more concerned with forcing their views under the guise of government on others. The founding principles of this country were based on individual freedom rather than letting the government dictate what people can have based on what it thinks people "need." It's none of your business, nor mine, and certainly not the government's business to try and determine what others may have based on what we might think they "need". Freedom of choice applies to more than just having an abortion.
