How can someone be a fence sitter on abortion?

It is possible to be personally completetly anti-abortion (I am), believe the current law ought to be changed (I most certainly do) and still feel compelled to respect *the legal right* of others to follow the law as currently written and enforced.

That is one answer to your question.

Yeah that is how the Germans felt about the Jews too.

“follow the law as currently written and enforced”

That is why some people here support Operation Rescue type civil disobedience to protest heinous law (1973), like the civil disobeyers protested unjust laws in the 1960s.

I personally think we need to go beyond even that and fund, finance and promote a Life ethic and abstinence based sex education in the country - crisis pregnancy centers throughout the land and shame and taboo heaped upon young men who would get a young woman pregnant and walk away from her. Also promotion of teaching Life choices in the public schools and private schools (public schools need to give equal hearing to Life Choices, as they are our tax dollars too!!)

Such actions will go far in reducing abortions.

And we need to fight the legal battles that would, as someone opined above, make it illegal to kill a child 5 minutes after birth, but not 5 minutes before birth.

Such laws are HEINOUS on their face.

Such actions go far toward reducing
