If you allow abortion at any stage, whether it is first or third trimester, then what about post natal?
At what point does it become a grotesque joke?
A parody of a thought?

an interesting philosophical debate, in which mankind has not arrived at a consensus

It seems I am being attacked here in an emotional response

The only personal belief I have shared in this discussion has been that the political system and courts have shifted to institutionalizing the answer to being a matter of personal choice, not law, and imo there would not likely ever be a shift back. Like it or not, America is a diverse nation, a diverse society, and individuals hold diverse beliefs on this subject and their individual right to make this moral decision, in private, have become institutionalized by the men and women 50 million or more Americans have elected, Roe vs Wade is a ship that sailed decades ago, and thanks to America's 50 million democrat voters and the RINOs that cower before them, I don't think it is coming back

The abortion battleground still has some high ground in the courts, as shown in some recent decisions banning late term abortion, tightening medical standards for would-be abortionists, allowing prosecution for unborn killed during the commission of a crime (speaking of paradoxes) etc etc
Plus science advances have revealed the realities of life in the womb and reduced the term known as “viabilty” which affects the moral decisionmakiing of millions more people

So moral absolutes will not change the law, imo
But moral absolutes can undermine the law by contributing to the philosophical debate in a way that changes hearts and minds of the mothers and fathers of the unborn- the ultimate decsionmakers- a sea change that seems to be underway
