If you're pro-life, how far do you take that?
#98
RE: If you're pro-life, how far do you take that?
I'd like to bring this point up again though: laws are about what is best for society, they are not about judging what is and isn't moral.

Is it best for society to allow women to have abortions? That is the question. Of course, I'm not suggesting there is a right or wrong answer, nor a simple one. It's a matter of opinion, and a matter for continued debate. Personally, this alternative of restraining women seems far worse to me for society; as does causing women to self-abort or seek back street abortions.

You can't afford rights to an unborn without severely overriding the rights of the mother. That's the biggest issue here for me. Is that trade-off worth it? (Where exactly you draw the line for late term abortions is a separate question.)
Feel free to send me a private message.
