Why are there any laws about abortion? Why do the courts make pronouncements about abortion? Why do legislators make laws for and against abortion?
Because a human life is in question.
Why don’t they do with all laws about abortion and let the mother throw the newborn into the trash, or in a river, or down the toilet?
Because a human life is in question. The baby’s life.
The State exists to protect the citizens. The State makes laws that protect citizens’ lives. Or should. In some areas the State has done away with all laws and actually does allow the mother to dispose of the baby, by proxy, using the services of an abortion doctor. In those areas the State has abdicated its obligation to protect the lives of its citizens.
“No questions asked” drop off points for babies are ludicrous. Laws that punish leaving a baby in a trash barrel are a joke. What difference does it make if the mother kills the baby by throwing it in the trash or goes to a doctor to have it ripped to shreds? No difference at all!
Well said!
How so?
