El Salvador has an abortion ban. Apparently women who have miscarriages are charged and jailed. So how do you intend to tell if a woman had a miscarriage or took one of the chemical abortificants? There's no way. El Salvador banned abortion but all they really did was create a black market for abortion drugs and jails filled with women. Abortion is here to stay not because people like abortion but because the alternative is horrible.So how long do you want send a woman to jail for having an abortion? Trump was asked this question and he had no answer.No one really wants to ban abortion, not really. The truth of that is in how even the most ardent anti abortion advocates have never thought about what happens next.
Maybe we are not afraid or maybe we not not lack the confidence in our ability to handle what happens next.
Did you ever think about that?
When Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart contemplated that a State could establish that an unborn fetus is a person. . . Neither did he go on to freak out about the downsides of doing.
Neither did the pro-abortion attorney (Sarah Weddington) express any of concern of her own.
Maybe that's because when "Roe" was being decided, they were already living in a world where abortions WERE banned and the sky was NOT falling.
I have no trouble answering this question because I am consistent with my views no matter how much it costs me politically among my friends.
We have many fetal HOMICIDE laws on the books today, where a person can be (and have been) charged with MURDER for killing a child inthe womb, even accidentally, during the committing of a criminal act.
I have a hard time seeing why a womanwho kills that same child INTENTIONALLY should be charged with anything less.
