Second, killing someone is not murder.

Aborting a baby is murder and until the vast majority of the people in this realize that fact, Roe will stand and abortion will continue to be legal.

So, if Roe were to be overturned tomorrow, that would not automatically make abortion illegal.

Of course, and when the states criminalize abortion, they will have to classify the act of abortion as Capital Murder and impose the same penalties upon the offenders (abortionist, mother and all who conspired) as if they were the persons involved killed a four year old child.

The idea that if Roe were overturned that women seeking illegal abortions would suddenly be locked up is ludicrous at best.

So, do you believe that it is also ludicrous to lock up a woman who kills her two year old baby?

Aborting a baby is murder

No. It isn't.

Aborting a baby is immoral and heartless. It is the killing of an innocent.

Aborting a baby is many things. But it IS NOT MURDER.

Murder is a legal term that applies to the illegal taking of a life. As abortion is currently legal, killing an unborn baby is NOT MURDER.

Continuing to say so just shows that you don't understand the law.

So, do you believe that it is also ludicrous to lock up a woman who kills her two year old baby?

It isn't a matter of what I believe. It's not a matter of what you believe. It isn't even a matter of what either of us wants.

It's reality. The reality is that no woman has been charged with the crime of abortion since 1922. Overturning Roe won't change that. Overturning Roe and making abortion illegal in 50 states won't change that.

And getting a proscecutor to put a woman in the dock, charged with murder, where she can cry to a jury is a bad scene. No prosecutor wants to try a case he can't win. So he won't.

And hasn't. Since 1922.

You can want it to be different, but wanting won't make it so.
