What We Throw Away
Alexandra DeSanctis
National Review

Progressives love to regulate the purchase, use, and disposal of everyday items. Several states have banned plastic bags entirely, while others require stores to impose a per-bag fee. Several hundred localities have enacted policies taxing or banning disposable bags in states that have declined to craft such regulations.

There are very few things that progressives are uninterested in regulating, taxing, or otherwise censuring. One major exception: the business of eliminating “unwanted” human beings prior to birth. In Vermont, home of the country’s most aggressive waste-disposal regime, a state where it is now illegal to place your food waste in the wastebin, there is no law requiring the respectful disposal of fetal remains after an abortion.
