"While I would encourage all to choose life, rather than abortion, I fail to see the wisdom of forcing anyone..

Just as prohibition did not work for alcohol, prohibition will not work for abortion.
People will do what they feel is right for them, whether it is against the law or not."

Let's see if your logic holds good when we substitute the words "armed robbery" for abortion:

"While I would encourage all to choose life, rather than ARMED ROBBERY, I fail to see the wisdom of forcing anyone..

Just as prohibition did not work for alcohol, prohibition will not work for ARMED ROBBERY.
People will do what they feel is right for them, whether it is against the law or not."

On the basis of your logic, then, your government should de-criminalise armed robbery because people will continue to do it whether it is against the law or not.

With this level of rationalisation, you may as well scrap all law - anarchy is the only system that holds good by your standards.

Abortion is the primary sign that democratic government is a sham, all those that have posted to the effect it won't happen in our current political climate are unfortunately correct.

This is the best argument I can think of for discarding the system.

Don't be ridiculous.
Armed robbery is against the law..
But people still do it..
And THAT is my point..

Don't try that stupid word substitution crap on me..
I've played that game for a long time, and it won't work.
