Yes, that’s kind of what I was getting at in my post to you. IMO, all this Roe v Wade debate is utterly pointless. Abortion used to be illegal, and abortions were still committed nonetheless. You can’t stop abortion by outlawing it.
Ultimately, the choice is the woman’s. And her choice will be determined by her relationship with God. I can’t back this up empirically, but my guess is if people spent as much time spreading the gospel as they do obsessing on overturning Roe v Wade, more babies would be spared.
Law in a democracy (even a representative one) can mirror social mores. I won’t pretend that Roe v. Wade didn’t give a lot of women the excuse that they wanted, however, especially when they could have gone from a no-abortion state to a free-abortion state and didn’t. Law has a non-null effect on the drift of mores.
Then this free republic cannot possibly endure. Because our form of government, the rule of law, and our claim to liberty, is premised in the assertion that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain UNALIENABLE rights, starting with the right to live. This is the very raison d'etre of human government, according to our wise founders. Destroy that, and you have destroyed America. Congratulations.
Ultimately, the choice is the woman’s.
And you've survived on this pro-life website for a dozen years how?
