And your demands that the government mind its own business will result in anarchy, which will inevitably lead to tyranny.

The government not taking action to protect its citizens is every bit as bad as the government dictating to all its citizens what they must do.

But the whole issue with abortion is that abortion is the murder of a human being, a human being that the government is obligated to protect. Allowing certain classes of people to murder other certain classes of people, puts one more at the mercy of the government than anything you are accusing us of.

In all of history this has never happened. If you can provide even one example of when government “minded its own business” led to tyranny, please do so.

Abortion is not murder of a human being, and if that spurious argument is the only one you have against abortion, you have no argument at all. Abortion is wrong, but not for reasons you hold. So long as those are your only arguments the pro-abortionists will win.

The whole argument that a fetus isn't a human being is specious and duplicitous. A fetus created by two humans cannot be anything other than a human infant, just as a fetus created by two dogs cannot be anything other than a puppy, and on, and on...

A fetus in the womb develops in human form. Just because it still nurtures from it's mother's body doesn't mean it isn't a human form. It simply hasn't been born physically as yet. It is a developing human. Hank, your argument is void of reason. Sorry, but that's a fact.

Secondly, your argument against government intervention into abortion is specious because it mirrors government intervention protecting abortion; which we already have and you are apparently comfortable with.

What you're missing here, and what I mentioned last night, is that our argument doesn't center around government intervention. It's all about right and wrong. The horn of the dilemma is, that we'll never achieve some modicum of right vs. wrong without some modicum of government intervention. So, we choose to side with the form of intervention that protects the womb and the fetus.
