Just to clarify, at what point would you place the line for illegal abortion? As I said, I believe that the first trimester is a good point but could see it going out to 4 months maybe 5 but I am not sure I am all right with 5 months. That seems to be the best place for sentience my stance of why the line needs to be drawn.
That's the hard part. The issue is we aren't at the point that we know at what point we're dealing with a human life or just a sack of cells I, like most rationale people, believe that it occurs sometime during pregnancy. So the best you can do is draw a line at the latest point we know we're really just dealing with an organization of cells. The one thing I have come to change my mind about in this thread is Roe v. Wade, because I think for the most part they got it right. my position would be you can have an abortion anytime before the end of the first trimester for any reason, after that there needs to be an issue of the mother's health being in jeopardy. I would also be open to the idea of a separate law dealing specifically with illegal abortions.
If I could say how the law went, I wouldn't go after the mom at all. I'd nail the doctor to the wall, and anyone who made a profit at it as well.
It's just like the drug addict and the drug dealer in my mind. Tons of compassion for the drug addict. The man making money at it though...that's a whole different duck.
And the pro-abortion politicians should be rounded up with them. But that can only happen in God's judgment.
