Inability to FOCA on the real Issues

I find it ironic that many of the same persons and groups who argue so vocally for small government, individual determination and low taxes also argue vocally for federal government involvement in issues which present no clear federal question or against federal legislation that promotes such ideals.

For example, consider the contentious Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s110-1173

Many self-labeled Republicans are strong opponents of FOCA. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2170182/posts

I submit that FOCA is perfectly consonant with the ideals outlined in the Republican party platform. http://www.gop.com/2008Platform/

That is, FOCA explicitly affirms the right to privacy, the right to individual determination, and only acts to limit federal authority. These are core Republican Platform positions and opponents of FOCA who are not just Republicans, but are Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives, oppose them.

The dichotomy amuses me…

UPDATE:
I had a friend inform me that the Republican party platform statement "Maintaining The Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life" http://www.gop.com/2008Platform/Values.htm
is the sticking point. I maintain my position; FOCA is perfectly compatible with the Republican party platform statement "Maintaining The Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life". FOCA says "We won't discriminate in the allocation of federal funding based on provision of abortion. The republican platform says, we won't support provision of funds for abortion. These are NOT contradictory positions; they are perfectly reconcilable- Set the funding to zero.

Moreover, an equal zero funding level is also perfectly compatible with the republican party platform values of 1) Ensuring equal treatment for all, 2) Controlling spending, 3) Empowering the states, etc. I could go on but I think this bill is demonstrably compatible with the stated Republican values.
