A severe and antagonistic misunderstanding of operant behavior has led to both camps, or all camps, standing on curbs and corners flashing signs at each other. Morality is a personal thing, and ethics is a legal matter. The only aspect of this that is even close to philospohical logic is ethics. It is legal. End of story. Making something illegal and punishing misbehavior is a typical liberal act. If we wish to discourage this practice, we should encourage character development in our youth. Maybe character doesn't matter to a certain hedonistic former President, but it certainly matters to most of the rest of us. Do that: encourage character development so that citizens can handle life with some grace.

The fact that abortion is legal shows you how disordered our society really is.
Killing another human being for whatever reason is never right and cannot be condoned. It's only logical that if one group is declared a non-person (arbitrarily) then other groups become vulnerable as well to the same treatment.
