I gotta come down with AFE on this one, Clorinox. Religion aside, a civil society depends upon the constituents thereof deciding upon rules and regulations, aka laws, by which they will abide. Society is allowed to say, "This is wrong, and you will be punished if you do it." Otherwise, I could decide what is good for me is killing you, and who are you to say otherwise? Carrying it to an extreme, of course.
Ok, the VP only has a cold so I can get on with my day... :O
Be blessed and do unto others, and all that...
BTW, I believe that taking the conscious, pointed and purposeful step of murdering an innocent child is the extreme...lol
"civil society depends upon the constituents thereof deciding upon rules and regulations, aka laws, by which they will abide."
That's the whole point. Most of society at this point in time feels that women ought to be able to have abortions.
Without a significant majority this will remain to be the case. Murder is illegal because 99.99% of society agrees it should. Abortion is much more divisive issue that has if you are lucky a 50/50 split (this can be argued). And I can find almost no one who wants crazy punitive legal punishments for women who have abortions (legal or otherwise). And the percentage who share AFE's views are almost negligable.
