When this country was founded, men sometime engaged in the duel, a point of honor. It was a given…if one thought his honor had been questioned; he had the right to challenge the alleged offender to a duel, and sometimes take the life of the person questioning his honor, or loose his instead. Society examined this practice, and decided that it was not in the best interests of most citizens for this process to continue. States passed laws to limit the duel and, although there was no federal statue passed, by the early 1800s, the practice had been made illegal and no longer practiced. So clearly, this man’s “right” had been deemed to be not in the best interests of most citizens, and had been restricted. Men no longer have the right to duel.
Abortion is the same kind of practice that society should find not in the best interests of most of America. A woman’s right to an abortion has the same kind of bad effect on America. Forty-three million lost lives should shake up the leaders of our country to the point where legislation should be passed to end this “right”. Women should no longer have this questionable right to murder their unborn.
Bring back dueling, second abortion numbers would drop by at least 50%, first abortion numbers by at least 25% and then when the populace regains the respect of the politician (the cowards would somehow exempt themselves from dueling, for there is no longer honor in our leadership) abortions will again be rare
Bring back dueling
I second that motion.
...duels to the death between men to stop abortion? That's the kind of romanticist thinking that brought abortion.
Bring back hangings for witches. That'll stop abortion.
If dueling were made legal again, Crissy Matthews would wet his lace fringed panties every time he saw Zell Miller. My guess would be that Zell shoots straight in more ways than one.
Amen
