I’ll play Devil’s Advocate.
You seem to express a great deal of outrage at abortion. But how wrong can it really be if you don’t want anyone punished at all?
Well, you’re putting words in my mouth.
The question is: Should women be put in prison for having an abortion?
My position is: Abortion dies as a political issue if one of the goals is to put women in prison for having an abortion. I want the number of abortions to decrease so I do not want abortion to die as a political issue. So putting women in prison is not something I have any interest in.
You ask: “you don’t want anyone punished at all?” Oh, I want doctors to lose their medical license at a minimum. And prison time for them is a distinct possibility.
Is there a contradiction? I simply don’t care. Murdering children is bad and I want it to stop. Nothing else carries equal weight.
“But how wrong can it really be if you don’t want anyone punished at all?”
I think it’s called wanting the cake and eating it too
