The man sounds like a small government conservative.
Law confirming the personhood of an alive unborn child can be written to stop a huge percentage of abortions, but ultimately the concept of self defense so deeply ingrained in Western Law will force some legal abortions to be allowed, until the entire pregnancy can be maintained ex utero in an artifical environment. Then, I suppose the issue will be moot and killing an alive unborn will be outlawable.
We should save money on cops by keeping the government out of any rapes involving your female relatives, or any burglaries at your house, or any shootings where someone uses you to sight in their new machine gun.
There. Now I'm a "small government conservative."
