The unborn child is not a “citizen,” and you know it. One must have a birth certificate in order to be a citizen. No one gets a Social Security number until he/she is born. And, yes, the baby does belong to the body of the mother. There is no way to separate the fetus/baby from the mother until the fetus/baby is viable.
I denounce abortion, generally speaking, in moral terms. Just as I denounce adultery, fornication. Yet I do not want to make those immoral acts crimes (again). The government has no power to control immoral acts. However, churches, religious institutions, and public opinion can cause people to change their behavior.
I’m not a pro-abortionist, but I am tired of hearing from Republicans and others who claim to believe in freedom that they want to go back to criminalizing ALL abortions. And I’m tired of people on the “right” demonizing people who disagree with them.
People on the right don’t have to do much to demonize anyone on the left. They do a good enough job of that on their own.
Protection of humans has nothing to do with citizenship. If that was the case, we could kill illegal aliens on sight just because they are not citizens. Besides, if the child was a citizen, would that make a difference to you? BTW, what is it about abortion that you find morally denounceable?
“The unborn child is not a “citizen,” and you know it.”
You seem to have found an interesting solution to the immigration problem: “they aren’t citizens so kill them.”
