SJ, why should a woman be forced by the State to reproduce?
No one is forcing anyone to reproduce. The fundamental act that leads to pregnancy is engaged in voluntarily, and there are laws against compulsion, and such have been adjudicated, even between man and wife. Her headaches are safe.
You don't even want to be forced by the State to purchase a damn insurance policy.
Not just for breathing, no I don't. That isn't any of the State's business, how I pay for medical care.
Why are your individual rights precious, but not your daughter's?
All rights are precious, but my daughter's rights have always been precious, FROM CONCEPTION. You would rob her of the right to see the light of day, should I have had sex with someone who decided she was inconvenient--and rob me of the right to have any say in whether she lived or died. I am advocating for my daughter's rights, and her daughter's and her daughter's...right on down the line, because
without life, there can be no other rights. It is the most fundamental unalienable right of all.
And again - abortion is morally wrong. I understand your passion about the millions of lives lost.
mmmmmkay.
All I'm saying is that agitating to take away the Constitutional rights of half the population is a fool's errand, when that energy could be invested in the difficult but ultimately effective work of saving lives, one at a time.
First off, advocating for the reversal of a bad judicial decision is never a fool's errand. That is the source of this alleged 'right' to murder children in the one place they should be safe--the womb. There are multitudes out there advocating for counseling, adoption, alternatives to abortion, and by the Grace of God, that has had effect.
Close the slaughterhouses, and you'll save even more lives.
You see, I recall a time before
Roe, when people were more careful about having sex if they did not wish to create a life. Now, that there are more means than ever to prevent pregnancy, it is past time to abolish this barbaric practice.
