I think Fred was responding in a manner that opposes the radical side of the pro-life activists who may have suggested jail. He was saying that you cannot go to the extreme with any federal laws. At least that’s how I took it.
An analogy: murder is a state offense, unless federal blah blah. Why should the age of the victim federalize the crime?
We have far too much federal intrusion into state and personal issues. Conservatives should not run roughshod over the Constitution just because we stand on high moral ground.
No.
From the very beginning --- eve, if you want to put it this way, before the beginning --- the prolife movement has seen the woman as the second victim of abortion. As in the slogan "Abortion: One Dead, One Injured." And in the slogan, "Women Deserve Better."
I say "before the beginning" because the first pro-life pregnancy centers, which had the name "Birthright," were started in 1967, 5 years before Roe vs Wade. And at present, there are more pro-life pregnancy centers than there are abortion clinics. We have always fought abortion by empowering women --- especially young and poor women --- with the support and the resources they need to give birth with dignity and confidence.
I've been active isn the pro-life movement for 30 years, I've traveled all over the country (and in Canada and 4 countries in Europe) and there isn't any "radical side of the pro-life activists." I've never I've never personally heard anybody--- except pro-abortionists---talk about "jailing women."
Who ARE these people, cckid? I’ve not met any in my 32 years as a pro-lifer. Bob
