Men shouldn’t butt out of the abortion argument any more than non-Jews should have “butted out” of discussions of Hitler’s final solution. Until we treat unborn humans as humans and not property we won’t have success arguing against abortion.
Rape and incest are horrible. They should be punished. But the child is innocent.
I like to offer people a deal. We’ll keep abortion legal in cases of rape and incest, but if the woman aborts, her rapist is put to death. Deal? If not, then how can anyone argue that the baby deserves death but the rapist does not?
Interesting that 'The right to life' is one of the 'certain unalienable rights' mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, but it has been trumped by a 'right to abortion' never mentioned anywhere in the founding documents.
I carry my pocket constitution everywhere I go. When I hear the right to an abortion, I always pull it out and ask them to show it to me.
People should read Roe v Wade. The SCOTUS first had to create a 'right to privacy' (also not in the constitution) and then they found the right to an abortion in that newly created right. Simply amazing.
I like that idea. However, in the interest of due fairness, how about we liberalize it to "We will grant the abortion on the same day the rapist is put to death."
Due process and all that, you know? Gotta have those endless appeals and interminable stays on Death Row. May as well give the child as much an opportunity to "appeal" as the rapist.
That’s a deal I need to remember to offer the big pro-choice folks!
