It's not just YOUR BODY. If it were just YOUR BODY, you could drop it off a cliff for anyone cares. In fact, I'll be happy to give you a push if you want. The fetus is ANOTHER body, a DIFFERENT life. NOBODY should have the power of life and death over another innocent human being.How will you enforce your anti-abortion law? Require pregnant women to register with the state? Have doctors inform on their patients, turning in the names of women who ask about abortion or who dont seem happy with the pregnancy? Perhaps youll have neighbors and family members spy on pregnant women, with a criminal penalty for anyone failing to report an abort.You know, pro-aborts are always wailing about how what we REALLY need to reduce the number of abortions is just more education. Yet we've been teaching biology in schools for how many years, and they STILL don't know that a fetus is not part of his mother's body. So much for THAT plan.
And what are you going to do about it? Put doctors and women in jail? To be consistent you must also forbid abortion in cases of rape, incest, and when the womans life is at risk.
What we have, therefore, is not only the right advocating an un-Constitutional violation of privacy rights, but also the creation of a police-state apparatus threatening individual liberty.
Where are the small government conservatives? This certainly doesnt sound like individual liberty, indeed, it sounds exactly like the authoritarianism the right accuses liberals of constantly.
So, for those wishing to ban abortion, document in detail your plan, exactly how youd go about investigating, prosecuting, and punishing those guilty of your new crime.
Once again, its time for the right to put up or shut up.
They are so fucking stupid they have no clue how to formulate an answer to your questions.
I am a small government conservative and have been so for 40 years.
These other clowns do not live in the REAL WORLD.
