No, we've played that game before. How about the repurcussions to the child of abortion?

My opinions come from sound, sober reasoning.

However, your options are interesting. A - Let them screw up, or B - Take on the consequences of their actions for them. Realize, you're still arguing that people not be held responsible for their own actions. Not a good argument.
Not true... Just arguing that you are not "the one, the only"" who should make them accountable.. You, like me, have an opinion... No better or worse than any other.. Just an opinion..

From a personal stand point what do you do (other than pay taxes) to help those that would or may be considering an abortion?

BTW... I am personally against abortion but I do not force my beliefs on others..

Wasn't Mother Theresa "modern day"? And, no, I wasn't suggesting that. Just answering whether people who believe life is sacred do nothing at all. He was wrong, and so is this suggestion about Mother Theresa.

And, the ones that do this are as ignorantly wrong and murderous as the abortion itself.

well .... I guess two outcomes depending on your religion

1: Heaven
2: the nothingness from whence it was created

and face it, the only reason no one wants to talk about the law side of things is because laws against abortion would be impossible to uphold and are completely immoral.

Your conscience holds no one accountable. The law is what could do that. And, abortions are legal. For now. I hope that changes.

My suggestion was was made to put a point on all the post saying nobody has the right to abort a fetus.. If we truly want to stop abortions than we have to be willing to go all out....
We are - change the law on killing those babies. That's "all out". Not making non-reproductive based sex illegal. That's dumb.
Quote:
Do you honestly believe that abortions will stop just because the Federal government changes the law. Not at all... Abortion will always occur and there isn't a damn thing we can do to stop it... Other than outlawing sex of course...
With that logic, nothing should be illegal. I'm not an anarchist, and I wouldn't support that, either.
