For each surgical abortion, there are probably 10 chemical abortions courtesy of the "birth control" pill which agitates the womb to make it reject rather than accept the implantation of the conceived child. By both methods, we are approaching an abortion total equal to twice our nation's population. So, feel free to pose for holy pictures as wannabe philosopher kings while the adults do the heavy lifting. How about we secure an END to the holocaust of the babies instead of dithering long enough to get a gold pin for fifty years of saying the right thing instead of DOING the right thing.
You would not mind "technicalities" if they were called the Bill of Rights, and they protected you from government excesses. The demise of abortion through government has to keep the fabric of civil rights in tact for when any or all of us need recourse to it. And I think your ham-handed legal day-dreaming on a message board earn you no more or no less of a "gold pin" for morality than the rest of us. If anything, they highlight your conceit, not your sincerity, and do not inspire trust in your notion that big government can benevolently wield big power.
I am aware of the number of deaths due to abortion. Can you tell me if and when the appeal to the 14th amendment has been tried in court as an argument against abortion and what the outcome was? Would you support a president rolling out the national guard to close all abortion mills, Supreme Court be damned?
A few years ago, that was the hypothesis. More recent research has ruled that out. Hormonal birth control does not result in abortion.
