Moral concerns will remain, not matter what the law agrees to.

The big moral concern is when the choice to abort is because carrying the baby is something of “inconvience” due to (a) out of wedlock, (b) will interfere with career plans/abilities, or (c) financial hardship, then where was the moral sense of responsbiity that failed to conduct life so as to prevent the preganncy. Why is it the baby’s fault for a preventable failure by the mother and her sexual partner.

“where was the moral sense of responsbiity”

I have watched the changing of the morals for many years. So many things have become not only acceptable, but encouraged. Having children out of wedlock was a practice until the first marriage contract about 2500 years before Christ. In the old west, if you stole cattle, the posse found you and hung you. No problem.

I believe the first of the major changing happened right after the first depression years for our current society when they learned that it takes more than a pretty face to get food and housing. And then the major attack against morals happened in the mid 1050’s by Madeline O’hare who was instrumental in taking prayer out of schools and started the domino effect of schools taking the responsibility of sculpturing students until something went wrong and them it was the parent’s fault.

True morals are dying off with the passing of those that came in before Woodstock, the wars we shouldn’t have got into, the destructive dismantling (and politicalizing) of religion, and the legalizing of harming your neighbor because someone came up with a way to make it sound legal or make the punishment minute and not threatening enough if at all. Start somewhere and see where it takes you. The rode is long even though it is right in front of us.
