Not a good parallel. One is a human rights issue, the other isn't. I mean, I guess in a libertarian sense, making drugs illegal is a rights issue. I sure don't think the government has the right to tell us what we can do to our bodies. But, it's not a prejudicial human rights issue where one groups is being excluded from another group, and treated differently. At least with drugs being illegal everyone is being treated the same way, and in that sense, fair to some extent.
