you posted a quote that includes
“... it is better a hundred guilty go free than one innocent person be imprisoned...”
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
That is an old and worthless quote. It is just a hypothetical posing as reality.
But in this era we have literally millions of innocents murdered every year because of the “rights” of women. So it figures that a lack of rigorous thinking and and a tendency to lazily quote trite old cliches is so popular.
We live in an imperfect world, among imperfect people,so it figures that we will have imperfect systems and less than perfect justice.
But that doesn’t mean we have to create or perpetuate false equivalencies.
I agree with you on the abortion side of your argument.
However, I cannot bring myself to agree that Ben Franklin and the founders thoughts, were just tired old tripe.
