I am against abortion...unless the woman would be imminently at life and death risk( a RARE event nowadays).
That is my belief. As to rape and incest, I am not sure and yet am totally against any late term or partial birth abortions.
However,I have always considered the Roe V Wade opponents hypocritical IF....ONLY the doctor is prosecuted.
If the law said NO ONE could be legally involved in providing or having an abortion ( that includes the mother; husband/boyfriend/parents; or anyone who pays for the abortion, ...that at least would not be hypocritical.) If we believe that abortion is wrong, why would we only focus on one participant in the act?
Of course, if abortion was NOT legal and all participants and suporters would be prosecuted—not just the person performing the abortion...Roe V Wade would never be overturned.
I believe that with sonograms and educating more and more men and women on these evidences of life would do more to end abortion than any law. Laws never stopped abortions in the past, but now, the new information IS making some difference.
I agree that the “mothers” who choose killing their children are just as guilty of murder than the people they hire, and “fathers” who allow it, often encourage it and pay for it are accessories to murder.
I also agree that unpleasant as it is, the pro-life community should not shy away from making that point.
Now, leaving the moral perspective aside and taking up the legal and political perspective, it is clear why the focus is on the abortionists: they have a profit motive and are easy to shut down, whereas the “mothers” often come from a very difficult circumstance and deserve compassion.
Actually, laws stopped abortions very effectively up until they began to be changed in the '60s, and then were wiped out by Roe. Before then, abortions were not unheard of, obviously, any more than any other illegal act; but they were very infrequent relative to the explosion post-Roe.
Very true. I also think the number of women who have had the procedure who have "switched sides" and are now speaking out is a good sign. Some of the stories are just heartbreaking.
