It's a states issue... The federal government has zero morality and even less credibility on the issue.None of the schools or federal government's business…well we do agree on one thing, overpopulation of our planet is the real problem. There are just too many people.
Why not focus on preventing unwanted pregnancies rather than on killing unborn human beings?
Wars, famines, and diseases used to limit the human population, but we have found ways to prevent those.
You act like we can't focus on two things at the same time.
Yes, let's focus on preventing unwanted pregnancies. Well, as I've said many times on this site, teaching safe sex and abstinence is proven to be the BEST way to achieve this. Teaching abstinence without safe sex is proven to be the WORST way to deal with this.
So, let's make sure all kids in the USA get comprehensive safe sex education. Oh, wait, the religious nut jobs don't want any mention of sex, so in the end you get far more problems.
But abortion is a manner in which we can also reduce the population of unwanted pregnancies. People have a big hang up about it, and I understand why. Religion has been around since the times when people wanted as many children as they could get. They might lose 80% of their kids and needed to keep pumping them out like there was no tomorrow, but life has changed, times have changed. Abortion isn't bad any more, because we simply don't need to keep overpopulating the world.
Abortion in the 83rd trimester sort of thing (go watch South Park and you'll get it) is not what I'm talking about here.
So, abortion isn't the business of the federal government? Should it then be the business of state governments? Or should it be left to the consciences of the people who actually made the thing in the first place?
What about once a child is born, should the life then not be the business of the federal government?
All individual rights issues are a federal issue. That's where the Constitution is, at the federal level.
"endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights......" any idea where that comes from?
