The law is not the ultimate prevention - it only makes the consequences of a chosen act more severe. Does the speed limit prevent you from going as fast as you think you can get away with? If it does, you are in a small minority.
The speed laws are there to regulate traffic towards safety. The laws that would try to regulate what choice a woman makes about a process taking place within her body are motivated by a particular segment of religious belief - not appropriate for a free society.
I'll find myself sort of agreeing with you here--there's a fundamental and profound difference between man's law and God's law. And while I may occasionally break man's law against speeding, I'll never break God's law by taking an innocent life.
You wrote: "The laws that would try to regulate what choice a woman makes about a process taking place within her body are motivated by a particular segment of religious belief - not appropriate for a free society." Would you mind telling me just when 'the processes' occurring in the woman's body can be legitimately (and that doesn't necessarily mean ONLY legally) considered another human being to be protected from being killed?
Ahem, I want to issue to you a public apology for losing my temper toward you. I find it extremely difficult to be tolerant of willful ignorance when the issues are life and death ones. I will now presume you are not willfully ignorant (so your ignorance can be cured, if you give a small degree of purposeful research into the issues of individual human life) and apologize to you for losing my temper toward you.
