“Of course, if we held to strict moral principles, the women are just as culpable...”
Perhaps we should stick with moral principles.
Sure, we could be sitting on our moral high horse while abortions continue and millions of babies die, but we’d be perfectly morally correct and feel really good about ourselves.
Or, we could make some concessions to pragmatism and actually have a chance of stopping abortion and saving those babies’ lives.
I don’t think you are going to get both.
