This is a great expose of how I can be of the opinion that Abortion (with both parent's consent) should be legal...but I think it is imperative to overturn RvW.

I can't say that I agree entirely with the article. There really are two America's and it has nothing to do with the class warfare Demonrats shove down our throats. The essence of America is freedom, and thus it is two different ideas of freedom that American's differ on.

One idea of freedom is the ability to do whatever one wants, the other is the ability to do what is right.

Clearly our founding fathers did not arbitrarily create a democracy with the people left to do whatever they please. Our founding fathers sought a greater good, a good that can only be attained by free assent to that good and this is the role of the Constitution. It is meant to create fertile ground for its citizens to attain the Good while at the same time not telling us how we as individuals are to attain that Good. This is why abortion should be legal. This is not about women having the freedom to do whatever they want, it is about the Constitution defending the freedom to do what is right and in NO circumstances can a free nation remain free when we allow the slaughter of our future generations.

I'm sorry...in my last post I meant: "this is why abortion should NOT be legal."

Ahh, yes, the classic confusion between freedon and license.

This is why abortion should be legal. This is not about women having the freedom to do whatever they want, it is about the Constitution defending the freedom to do what is right and in NO circumstances can a free nation remain free when we allow the slaughter of our future generations.

Sorry, but this is just schizophrenic. Did you mean to say, This is why abortion should be illegal?

A right to life is inviolate. Women have no freedom or license to choose the murder of their child. Such a conclusion would negate every law in our land.
