With all due respect, the subject we were discussing is your refusal to make abortion illegal. Abstinence education, while important, is a needless attempt to shift the focus away from your original claim. You still haven't answered my question: why is it within government's purview to outlaw murder but not abortion?
Legal or not, I won't do it.
Legal or not, others will. I can't choose for someone else. In the end, the choice is still theirs, whether they do it legally or not.
So, if it is wrong enough, Roe v Wade will get overturned and then those that choose to do so will be punished in both life and death. Currently, those that choose to do so definitely get punished in death if they can't reconcile with their maker, some are punished in life and that is part of the process of trying to reconcile with their maker.
In the ned, the choice for me to not have the battle with their maker in my head is my personal choice. In the event that it becomes criminalized and I am on jury duty, I will assume that the individual is innocent until proven guilty and see what happens. I would imagine that most that would have an illegal abortion and get caught would just plead and get sentenced.
Of all the battles for one to have between their ears, this is the one that I least prefer to have, especially if it is a battle that belongs between the ears of one that wants an abortion. Frankly, one that wants that right must first get pregnant in order to have that battle between the ears to commence.
