“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock

I own my body. You have no right to tell me what I can or cannot put into it, nor are you entitled to any revenue I generate using my body.
You further have no right to elect other people who you empower with rights I do not have. The laws that these people write on paper are completely invalid to me. I do not violate natural law, nor do I aggress against anyone not aggressing themselves on me. I will defend with deadly force the natural rights I possess as a human being. These rights are not given nor do I authorize the defense of those rights by any individual or government other than myself.
