I'm not suggesting this forum become the law making and enforcing bodies - you're making no sense. However, the only one held accountable for an abortion, directly, is the child not allowed to live.
Again, that it will still happen is not the point. If it were, there would be no laws.
Interesting, I do too. And, when you're a parent, "your own" includes your child. Killing them is not "taking care of your own."
Said to Bob:
That's very much like saying "you're straight telling people who are considering drowning their children in a bathtub that they're not going to do it". Yes, I am. I'm straight saying that ending someone else's life is wrong.
Again with the religion? You really need to get over that.
If you're against murder (not punishment by death penalty, but murder), how could you accept murder of a child as an acceptable option?
And, in saying that, you're suggesting it's okay for "those families involved" to kill their kids legally. I don't think that's okay for a two day old, or a baby in the womb, and that's the real discussion. You can make it about my religion, or people taking control of women's bodies, etc. But, none of that has any actual bearing on the issue. You either believe a fetus is a baby human, or a clump of cells within the mother's body. Because, if you see it as a baby human, killing it is murder and murder is wrong. If you see it as a clump of cells belonging ONLY to the mother, it's not murder and it's a choice to remove, like a wart or a tumor. I find viewing a baby similarly to a wart or tumor repulsively ignorant.
What difference does the day make where the baby goes from first to second trimester? What changes about the life?
Again, if you think this, you clearly must be against all laws. I'm not an anarchist.
Each year in the United States, about 51,000 American children are placed for adoption. In addition, about 6,500 foreign children are adopted by Americans, for a total of a little under 58,000 children adopted per year.
To a point, yes. How I view this is an issue only when it comes to things like elections, feedback to politicians on where money is spent, suggestions and support of judges, etc. It is a government "of the people..." So, how we each view this is of equal importance, or lack thereof. However, the argument that murders would still happen whether they're legal or not has no bearing on whether they're legal or not, whether that murder is abortion, or stabbing, or shooting, or......
