Unequals need to be treated unequally. It is a physical truth, and a moral truth, that only women may carry a baby. How is it unfair to protect the innocent child?
I agree that all who conspire to abort should be prosecuted. What I do not understand is why you think a law may be crafted to address intercourse that may lead to abortion?
I’m not proposing any laws. I’m just trying to understand how the legal goals of the pro-life movement could be made honest and equal as proposals. I would still vote against equal laws because I do not think anyone should be trying to cure the abortion problem using the justice system. Not what Jesus would do, I say.
I am not whining. Although much of my post was my attempt to summarize what I believe has been going on in this discussion, I specifically addressed your failure to respond to what I believe to be an honest apology presented to you.
Jesus speaks through His Church. That is the point of this entire thread. We know what He asks of us.
Please just mind your own business about interactions between other people and myself. This thread does not need any more extraneous posts.
Zamboni, please respect the right of others to post just as you are allowed to post.
I only reserve the right to my own opinion and how to spend my time as wisely as possible while still here.
Interesting but if you arrest all the abortion doctors, how many years in jail should you do for the death you would cause if you got your way? You know, by driving abortion into alleys and back to the coat hanger and soda pop abortion days? And what of the 20 million doctor-less abortions that now occur every year in the absence of those uniquely ‘dangerous’ abortion service providers who you have made it your goal to imprison?
I am proposing arresting the doctors who perform abortions - not the women who get conned or coerced into having them.
I consider the women who get abortions to be co-victims with their children; not criminals. My proposal to arrest abortionists is entirely gender-neutral - both male and female abortionists would receive life sentences with the possibility of parole no earlier than 25 years, just as if they had actually killed a human being.
You make it sound as if this was some novel concept. It is not. It was not that long ago that abortion was illegal. Obviously, reputable doctors back then simply chose not to break the law. Do you think that doctors today would jeapordize their careers by openly breaing the law? I doubt it.
Total propaganda - it never happened, or else maybe it happened once or twice, but prior to abortion becoming legal, these “coat hanger abortions” never actually took place. People “went to visit Aunt Sally in Europe” and gave their kids away to adoption agencies, or else Mom “had a caboose baby” - perfectly healthy, too, and four years after she hit menopause.
If you’d read my previous posts, you’d know that I would also outlaw abortion drugs. Self-poisoning is already grounds for involuntary institutionalization in a mental health facility; I would simply have those drugs declared poisonous and outlawed for manufacture or sale.
Abortion doctors place their whole lives in jeopardy to work in some parts of America, as we see from the news headlines that echo around the world. I don’t hear about the same thing happening in other countries but there are probably a scant few cases outside America. What is going on in America? It was either the last doctor who was shot and killed or the one before that whose FBI bodyguard thought the doctor would be safe left unguarded at church one Sunday. Instead, the doctor was shot dead inside of his church.
His murderer should be given a life sentence with no hope of parole for at least 25 years, just as if he had killed a real human being.
If back alley abortions of the past are propaganda then how are the 20 million back alley abortions of today explained away? I don’t know who would have time to read all the posts here, which is the only reason I’ve not read more of yours. But reading about the different ways you would like to control the lives of others is not usually the kind of reading that holds my interest for very long.Total propaganda - it never happened, or else maybe it happened once or twice, but prior to abortion becoming legal, these “coat hanger abortions” never actually took place.

Okay, now you’ve totally lost me. You want abortion to remain legal because otherwise people will have back-alley abortions. But apparently making them legal hasn’t done that, and there are 20 million back alley abortions going on today? (That’s more than triple the actual pregnancy rate, you realize … )
“Controlling the lives of others” - that’s hilarious. At least I’m not the one snuffing them out for the sake of convenience, or out of embarrassment.
That is a load of dung. They are not in jeopardy. You have more of a chance being killed by slipping in the shower than you do because you’re an abortion doctor. Your worldwide “echos” are merely echo of bogus propoganda.
That too was murder, so it was wrong.
