“Until we break through that propaganda and educate young women, attempts to control abortion through punitive legal measures will most likely fail.”
Society has always controlled homicide by punitive means.
Why would we control the homicide of the unborn any differently?
Because the environment right now won’t allow it.
Most of the women freely choosing to have abortions look at it as no different than contraceptives. For many of them, it is their primary form of birth control. They don’t view it as killing at all. Not only that, but they have been conditioned to think that it is a fundamental right, more important than any other (legitimate) right that women have.
There is no other form of homicide in which 20-30% of the population won’t even recognize it as homicide and consider it a right. This must change if we want to effectively protect the unborn.
I would start by educating young women. Once the majority of young women understand that abortion *is* killing a human being, and that the purveyors of abortion are soulless profiteering ghouls, then we can start punishing abortion the same way we punish other forms of homicide. Until then, it won’t work.
