There’s so many things that government can’t do. And I never look to the government for the first answer. But protection of the innocent has to be the first priority of a society. We’re nowhere close to that, in a lot of different areas, and I don’t know how to fix it.
Obviously, the death penalty for abortion is an overreaction. But the unborn are every bit as alive as you or me. I’ve never understood what is so magical about the trip down the birth canal that it could turn a collection of cells into a human being. How do we make the protection of life a priority? That’s the question.
Personally I’m opposed to a constitutional amendment. I guess that’s something I have in common with Thompson. But it’s because I don’t think there’s a person alive today, including me, who could come close to Madison or Hamilton or Jefferson, and I don’t want to risk messing with the greatest thing we have going as a nation.
Like most of the other problems today, we have the laws on the books to fix this. I posted the federal definition of murder earlier on this thread, and I could definitely see applying that to abortion. But how do we convince people that unborn children have the same rights as the rest of us? I admit, I don’t know. I know how I’d like things to be, but I also know that it won’t be that way. But that won’t change my opinion.
Thank you (((Hugs))) Fatima:)
I feel it is happening. More and more with each new generation of ultrasound machines.
The younger generations are becoming less likely to fall for the Right of A Woman to Choose BS. (Liberal or apolitical) women in their 30s and 40s are cooked, though - they have been forcefed that stupid "women's rights" argument from every corner of their mainstream media.
I think, when you see those little tiny images in their little sacs, five weeks after the couple made love, with the little beating hearts, it's convincing people more than any Hillary-ites screaming that a woman should be able to copulate without responsibility like a rabbit. Don't you?
You can see applying the definition of murder, but you don't think the murderers should be punished?
