Pretty much.
I've never seen any credible evidence that this law is necessary. I don't believe there are women or doctors in any big numbers that would chose to abort in this manner just because someone decides she doesn't want to have a baby.
You don't need a law to say murder is illegal, it is already illegal.
Notice what this member is saying here... It's classic...
"First she doesn't believe that there are a large number of women choosing to abort their prenatal children beyond some arbitrary stage of development... thus she believes that there is no necessity for a law which would hold those women that ARE killing their well developed prenatal children...
So the issue is being argued, in effect, that it's really a matter of volume... NOT the VIOLATION OF THAT well developed prenatal childs RIGHTS... it's simply a function of their being insufficient evidence as to the number of well developed prenatal children being murdered to institute a NEED for a law...
She then tries to clean that principle-less train-wreck up through the declaration that one doesn't need a law to declare murder illegal; noting that murder is already illegal.
Mercy... how enlightened; except the problem is that this very member has already declared that she feels that it is the RIGHT of the woman to kill her prenatal child. She's simply not sure at what level of human development a prenatal child should be arbitrarily deemed worthy of a right to their life...
Do you see the problem? Don't you see where this species of reasoning is a principle-less abyss of unbridled idiocy?
We're of course considering this members CERTAINTY that prenatal children in the first trimester of development do NOT have rights... but she's pretty sure that an embryo does rate a human right at some point, she just doesn't know at what that point is exactly; but she knows that there shouldn't be a law which holds a woman accountable for killing her prenatal child, because after all, murder is already illegal~
'It's all relative' folks... that is what she's saying here. If you put a sufficiently sad story of struggle and pain on it, this member would readily rationalize the killing of a post birth human child. Now how can I know this? Because in not a SINGLE post has this member taken a position which rests upon a single valid principle; she will move the threshold to accommodate any circumstance which tugs on an emotional heart string and at every point she will side with the powerful over the power-less; FOR: the mother who is 100%RESPONSIBLE for her CHOICE in engaging in the biological exercise which is designed for conception and AGAINST the innocent child who had no part in any decision the point where it's life is snuffed out as its is torn limb from limb to silence it because the Mother lost her nerve; because the woman CHOSE to kill a prenatal child SHE conceived through that decision (read: CHOICE) to engage in sexual intercourse and risk pregnancy... a decision, a CHOICE she makes at the expense of the innocent life of another human being... her own child.
It's depravity on a whole new level...
