Firstly, I think abortion is a societal epidemic and a tragedy. However, I don't understand how anyone can believe that expanding government oversight and introducing the legal system into the lesser tragedy of an unwanted child could possibly lead to something positive. How long will it take to adjudicate a father-mother dispute in this sort of thing? A year, two years? Are we going to embed a microchip in women next, to simplify the potential court proceedings? The myth of good government is just that sort of delusion, the legal system is just that sort of ass, to me. All indications are that the government is a ham-fisted, clumsy and necessary evil to be minimized. Arguments about moral relativism are merely dancing around the practical point.

I believe that the decision in Roe v. Wade was an arguably sensible and pragmatic decision, not an arrogant, intolerant and pseudo-principled decision issued from an ivory tower of pretentious goodness. I do not wish for upcoming legal battles over crossing state lines and obtaining medical treatments in a timely manner. Just reading what decent people think about the depravity of abortion for convenience would make me much happier. May the Lord have mercy on me for this.

crossing state lines and obtaining medical treatments in a timely manner.

I love that argument. How inconvenient and cruel it is to force a woman to drive several hours away when all she wants to do is kill a living child. You are impossibly depraved.
