By the way, I think Roe vs. Wade is one of the stupidest decisions in the history of the Supreme Court from a legal standpoint, and it should be overturned.
In an ideal universe, I might like to ban late-term abortions.
I honestly would strongly urge someone I knew who came to me for advice about an abortion (which, I must say, doesn’t seem to happen very often)to consider adoption.
But I’d never actually vote to ban abortion in a state initiative, or as a legislator. or as a National Constitutional Amendment, because of definitional problems.
It is indeed ridiculous to consider a fetus not a person at the end of the second trimester, for example, but a person at the beginning of the third trimester.
However, it’s infinitely more ridiculous, and clearly not an answer, to then proclaim a zygote a person in the full force of law, and results in a wide variety of unenforceable and ridiculous implications.
