To: Deb
Apparently, you don't understand the democratic, - republic, and the constitutonal process, Deb. -- You said:

Unfortunately, no one elected the Supreme Court which has created a law that allows self-centered or ignorant women to murder their own children. This law flies in the face of the will of the majority of American women who oppose the murder of over a million unborn children a year.

Wrong. -- The USSC said that states can't prosecute abortion as murder till there is a viable victim, a baby. And even then, it said, the murder must be prosecuted with due process, before a jury.

States cannot just flat out prohibit abortion, any more than they can 'prohibit' other self imposed acts. You own your body, not the state.

Hope this helps.

My own body would be seperate from the body growing in the womb. Your argument is specifically why I'm not a libertarian. Everything is "don't tell me what to do!" Did you see those pictures I posted? I don't give a damn what anyone says, there has to be a moral standard to which society adheres to. We have to recognize concrete moral truths as a society--this means laws that uphold the sancitiy of every life from conception to death.

the problem with that line of reasoning is that a ZEF is not part of the woman's body. It is another human being with natural rights.
Abortion is not a victimless act. It is the killing of a human being. As such, it is only moral under a few circumstances. Not wanting to care for it is not one of these.

The USSC invented a right to murder out of thin air, your compartmentalizing aside.

You people sound like every serial killer that ever breathed. "Uh, it really wasn't a victim to me, it was some object".

You and Ted Bundy, freak.
