There is no one on Free Republic more anti-abortion than me. I don’t even agree with exceptions for rape, life of the mother, etc.
That said, government cannot force people to live honorably.
Our societal rot cannot be solved by Washington, even by good leaders in office. Abortion, as well as immoral behavior of all other kinds, grows from hearts full of evil in a society that not only condones but applauds it.
Cain is absolutely correct that free people make choices to behave badly. Washington cannot help that.
We’ve let our society deteriorate to the point that we are now in a miserable and godless time.
The answer is to change hearts. The question is whether it is too late.
“I don’t even agree with exceptions for rape, life of the mother”
I’m really not trying to argue, just sincerely interested in your thoughts about the ‘life of the mother’ part. Are you saying it’s in God’s hands and not intervene?
