Is ‘individual rights’ in the eye of the beholder when it is a senator making the decision? During the December 5 Meet the Press show, the host Chuck Todd asked the question of Indiana Republican Senator Mike Braun who says, “The abortion issue should be decided by the states and not the federal government.”

            When Chuck Todd asked him about Federal mandates on getting a Covid 19 shot, Senator Braun said it is up to the individual to make that decision; not Biden. Chuck Todd then asked, “Since the majority wants abortions to be available, why should the state make that decision for the woman?” Sensing the conflict in his stance, Senator Braun replied, “The two don’t compare.”

            Senator Braun’s conflict is he wants to be the one to decide when people of Indiana can have an individual right on any issue.
