kinda like hitting the drug dealers instead of the drug users, eh?

Quite frankly, the abortion issue would take care of itself within a generation provided that Christian parents upheld their responsibilities for raising and educating their children. Instead, many are banished to be “educated” in the government school system and end up learning all kinds of perverse values. I wasn’t taught at home, but my parents realized the value of a real education for me and my 8 siblings. That’s why each and every one of us attended/attends a Lutheran school away from the depredations of of the governement school system and the morons that it turns out.

yes. even if few were actually incarcerated, it would send a public message that society does not approve of abortion.

I wholeheartedly agree and you can't even expect private Christian schools to do the right thing. When I was in middle school (mid 70's) and high school (late 70's) many of my peers I had gone to school with since kindergarten chose to go to Greater Atlanta Christian School for middle and high school. Almost every one of them turned into party animals while there, despite (or maybe because of) the strict Christian curriculum. Several of the girls I knew who went there were pregnant by 10th grade and most of the folks who left in 6th or 7th grade were back in publik skool with the rest of us by 11th grade. Several of them I still keep in contact with are now confirmed atheists as a result of attending that school. BTW, GACS had a great reputation at the time.

It takes good parenting to raise a kid, not a village and not a school. If you want good values instilled in your kids, teach them yourself. It's the only way......
