Absotively, posilutely. This goes to the real core of the issue, which is moral. So long as they can maintain this legal fiction that a fetus is not human, they can argue pros and cons of a woman’s right to have an abortion. As soon as you face, honestly, the truth, the issue moves from legal to moral. Part of the problem, though, is that the wholesale move away from religion and absolute truths is that society requires a moral arbiter and so it replaces religious truth with legal “truth”. When abortion was considered morally wrong, the proponents of legalizing abortion argued (most probably disingenuously) that abortions would be few because of the moral underpinnings and that legalizing it would assist those most desperately in need of abortions for special reasons. Along the way, religion lost its influence on the vast majority of the young and so now morality is conflated or confused with legality and too many people refuse to look beyond the law to determine morality. While many, in their heart of hearts would admit they are committing murder, I believe a lot of our people these days see nothing wrong with abortion.
As I believe the Bible is the truth in all things it addresses,
I do believe that everyone has “the Law” written on their hearts and do indeed know that abortion is murder of an innocent human being.
Romans 2:15
They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts. The way their minds judge them gives witness to that fact. Sometimes their thoughts find them guilty. At other times their thoughts find them not guilty.
They just don’t want their “thoughts” and “minds” to judge them, so they want any reminders of their guilt removed from the public.
