A yes or no pointed question won’t box me in, I would have to answer both yes and no depending on perspective. Let me try and explain just a bit what I mean by that.
I think that the constitution recognizes the right to personal liberty and individual choice.
I believe that Roe was the wrong way to go about solving a fairly unique situation where two sets of rights exist within one body. I believe both should be respected equally and that our constitution demands it.
I also think that our Political leaders liked it solved that way because they get to keep a hot button issue fo use in politics. This is as much of an afront to the unborn, the use of them as pawns, as an abortion is itself.
If abortion is just banned then the unborn’s rights are observed and the female who is pregnant has hers ignored. If it is allowed to continue as is then the unborn’s rights are ignored. I find both of these situations to be wrong, per the constitutionally recognized rights of the individual, which is why I seek another alternative. That is how I feel about this very minute.
What right of the female is being ignored? Natural rights do not conflict. A right is a claim on all others to respect that right. The mother may not violate the baby's right to life.
Most mothers, God love 'em, would move heaven and earth to protect their baby's life.
That's nothing more than a copout. I "seek" world peace, but that doesn't absolve me from taking a stand on the issues of the day such as the War on Terror.
This really isn't that difficult. Do you support the repeal of Roe v Wade? And if so, do you support state bans on abortion?
Please point me to the specific clause in the constitution that recognizes personal choice.
