Back in Bible times, The emporer had all newborn Jewish males killed, because he feared the son of God.
Today, we allow killing children because they are inconvenient.
Are we better or worse than the man that tried to kill Jesus?
Please don't set yourselves up as radical abolitionists. A raped woman should be allowed to have an abortion, early.
The Constitution requires that every person be secure in their person from seizure. A rapist's spawn seizes a woman. She has a right to stop the seizure. This is not just a matter of the unborn's life. It is also a matter of the woman's 4th Amendment liberty to be secure in her person. If the government stops her from disconnecting herself from the person who sucks nourishment from her body and will cause her tremendous pain 9 months later, the government is party to an unreasonable seizure. The unborn's total dependency on the woman's person makes its right to life inferior to the woman's equal right to liberty. It is a conservative principle that dependency creates inferiority - both in welfare recipients, and in umbilical cord recipients.
In the case of rape, the woman must be allowed to detach and stop the seizure of her person.
A radical abolition of abortion can not be tolerated constitutionally - it violates liberty. (Just as radical abolition of slavery, i.e. uncompensated emancipation, violated property.)
Excellent post which I happened upon a little late in the game.
It's sad but not surprising to see so-called conservatives calling pro-Lifers "communist" and "fascist" because we abhor and oppose the murder of babies.
All of this will someday be answered for.
