Many women are emotionally compromised when they contract for the murder of their unfaithful husbands. Would you be fine with them being charged with voluntary manslaughter? Murder is murder, and in the past murder was punished by death. Now everyone wants these murderers to get away with being charged with voluntary manslaughter and spend a few months in jail. I guess Americans consider life to be a very cheap commodity?
The doctors were contracted by the wife to commit murder. If a wife contracts a killer to murder her husband or her unborn child, she is just as guilty of the murder as the contracted person. The doctorwould not have performed the abortion except that the mother asked for it and demanded it claiming that it was legal according to the American system of justice.
Yes it can. Liberals just want to make the cause seem hopeless so everyone will give up on it.
These questions are not a deterrent nor are they an acceptable excuse to not fight to ban most abortions (danger to mother with proper intentions being the only acceptable claim).
Colbert is a left-wing commentator and the ratings of his new show suffer for it, but I guess CBS is willing to take the hit (as they were with the previous host) in order to advance the DNC agenda.
It seems to me the laws that enable abortion are the ones that say it legal.
You realize, don’t you, that a growing number of abortions are medical abortions done in the first trimester? Some are even done remotely. You take a pill, and later you take a second pill, and you go home and go to the toilet. It is similar to having a miscarriage. Some blood clots are evacuated over a period of time. Surgical abortions are on the decline.
Yes, but that does not change the fact that many, if not most, abortionist would still perform a dismemberment abortion if they had to. Chemical abortions are generally done for convenience and cost savings. The fact that abortionists and abortuaries like Planned Infanticide consider murder in economic and convenience terms only makes them that much sicker.
Not to pull this thread too far off track, so I’ll answer briefly as I can.
You make a fair point of comparison between a woman that contracts to kill their baby vs their husband. In concern for the doctor though they are generally accepting payment for services to commit homicide. The financial reward, in my mind, makes this an aggravating factor in their choice to commit homicide.
My position is entirely reasonable. I find it laughably unreasonable that you would assume if abortion is made illegal again, that mothers would be given the death penalty or life in prison. How many states, before Roe v Wade, gave the death penalty or life in prison to mothers who had abortions?
He most certainly does.
Why can’t it be outlawed? It was outlawed before 1973. This is a silly claim.
For the doctors, I would probably support murder charges with penalties running from 10-30 years, depending on the severity of the crime(s). For the mothers, it would run from probation up to a couple years in jail, depending on the situation and amount of callousness shown (i.e. a scared teenager being coerced or forced into an abortion is vastly different than a callous mother who uses abortion as a form of birth control without a care in the world about the child).
Penalties would vary dramatically depending on the situation involved.
…says the person who supports abortion…
If abortion is murder, as you believe, then what would the penalty for a woman who obtains an abortion and murders her baby ?
Not using the terms you did, which is the point.
Yeah it was and loosely enforced depending on the state. Its why it ended up before the SCOTUS and the states can not make it illegal.
And you’d never get such a law through congress, because there is no way members of Congress would want to have Doctors charged with murder, for performing an abortion, especially if performed for medical reasons for the mothers health.
The law has to be specific, not subject to interpretation according to lower courts and in line with the SCOTUS ruling on Roe V Wade in 1973.
As a Catholic what do you think abortion is?
I think abortion is wrong and I certainly don’t support it. But what should be the penalty for a mother who has murdered her child or her husband?
Abortion is what the Church teaches, an intrinsic moral evil.
The Pope called it murder; maybe one has quarrels with that.
The Holy Father has told us, it is taking the life of another, it is murder.
The Pope says its akin to murder.
