Did you read the story. It wasn’t about sending a woman to jail, it was about CRIMINALIZING abortion...i.e. making it illegal.

FT nearly said he wouldn’t have voted for such a law in TN if he had the opportunity (though he did say it was a State issue). Sean cut him off.

I not only read this story, I saw Fred’s interview on Hannity. Since Sean interrupted mid-reply it’s not crystal clear exactly what Fred’s intent in comment was to have been but I did not interpret it as you do.

I took it as I described in my first post and continue to state that IF (all necessary Roe V. Wade caveats and disclaimers associated here) we ever got to the point that the states took up the issue individually and some outlawed abortion, it would be the abortionist who should be prosecuted.

Considering the situation in overcrowded jails today, can you really see legislation passing that would jail a 15 year old seeking abortion in a state that outlawed it? Frankly I can’t and I think that was what was at the basis of Fred’s comment.

Did YOU read the story? He didn’t say anything about whether abortion should be legal. He said he didn’t want to “criminalize a young woman” for having one. I’d be perfectly happy with a law that targeted the abortionists.

From the abundance of the heart... the mouth speaks.
