Rare because abortion is a failure, an ugly business, the end of a bad decision to have sex, or perhaps even the result of rape, incest or the likely death of the mother.

I understand that abortion terminates what would otherwise become an undisputed human life and for very many people it is ending a human life. What decent person could take that lightly? I don't.

These are utterly bizarre comments that you're making here, if in fact abortion is nothing more than a medical procedure carried out on someone who is exercising a constitutionally-protected civil right. Basic human rights are not "ugly" in any way, nor should we have any qualms about allowing people to exercise them.

In fact, your response is indicative of exactly what a society becomes when judicial activism rules the day -- when there is no rational basis in what we have come to know as the rule of law. I'll bet there isn't a single other constitutional right that you would ever describe as "ugly" or would ever suggest should only be exercised "rarely." Which is a pretty strong indication that the "constitutional right" in question is a complete fabrication to begin with.

Excellent thought.

Bump and ping.
