I despise abortion. I don’t despise people who choose it. I despise rape and child molestation. But none of these sins or crimes will go away, no matter what the courts say, no matter what laws are on the books.
Being pro-life is wonderful. I’m pro-life. It’s IN THE CONSTITUTION.
But it isn’t the legality of abortion that has much effect on it. If someone wants to rape or murder, the laws never stop them. Same with abortion. Early abortions are just a dilation and curettage of the uterine lining. Such a procedure is done daily in hospitals. Sometimes for miscarriages, sometimes for menstrual or endometrial dysfunction. Doctors will still perform these even if abortion is illegal. No one but patient and doc will ever know there was an embryo with a beating heart in there.
If you are a conservative constitutionalist, you must believe in freedom and the right to life. But you can be realistic and not start a stupid legal battle that is as pointless as a “no assault weapons” battle. It isn’t possible. If you are trying to legislate morality it just won’t work. Human nature is too powerful. Sin will always be with us.
“I despise rape and child molestation. But none of these sins or crimes will go away, no matter what the courts say, no matter what laws are on the books.”
Do you believe rape and child molestation events would not increase if laws against such were removed?
“If you are trying to legislate morality it just won’t work. Human nature is too powerful. Sin will always be with us.”
If you legislate, or as the case is with most of the immoral law we have seen made here in America, create immoral law, or “rights” from the bench, the incidents of this immoral behavior becomes much more common, as accountability for this once illegal immoral behavior is removed from our justice system. With your reasoning, why have any laws at all?
