Should murder be a federal offense? Abortion is the same thing. Any party to an abortion should be subject to the same punishment as anybody who shoots a two-year-old (or any other person) in the head. Can we catch every one of them and prove them guilty in a court of law? No, but that’s no reason to give up before we start.
I’m not trying to argue with you. I think my views are pretty close to yours. I understand your “realism” argument, and I also realize that this country will never implement what I consider the perfect legal response to abortion. But that won’t change my opinion.
Do you want to make it the law of the land that we execute women who have an abortion?
What’s your perfect legal response? I know I am searching for one, and it sounded like Fred is too. I understand everyone’s passion to save the unborn. But it has to be something non-utopian and something that can make sense legally.
