Doctors don't have to do the procedure. It doesn't have to be a "medical procedure". I've removed splinters from other people's fingers, and I'm not an MD. The Government has no right to prevent a person from going to see a chiropractitioner. A person has a right to see a quack. If you outlawed abortion as a "medical procedure", you wouldn't be stopping abortion. What you need to do is pass a law that makes an abortionist a murderer, rather than outlawing a medical procedure, if you want to limit abortions.

Since you bring up the issue of volition, and natural consequences, how do you address my arguments in favor of early abortion in the case of rape? Hardly voluntary natural consequences entailing living up to one's responsibility for paying for a few minutes of pleasure.

Have you removed gall bladders? Performed a surgical operation without a license? Do it and you can get arrested and thrown in jail.

NO!!!! YOU ARE WRONG!!! You do NOT have the right to be cured by someone who is not a licensed Doctor! The State laws forbid it. Texas statute law

It is here .. http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/statutes/oc/oc016500.html#oc021.165.159 " a) A person commits an offense if the person practices medicine without complying with the registration requirements imposed by this subtitle. "

BTW, chiropractors are also regulated ... but you knew that right??? http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/statutes/oc/oc020100toc.html

Wrong again. It is sufficient to make this an unlawful act by anyone, licensed or unlicensed to practice medicine. In the past it was treated as lessor offense than murder. Certainly the partial-birth abortion band meets any objection you might have on this matter.

I'm sorry, but you've been wrong about the Constitution, now about state law too.
