If an act is MURDER, that is sufficient reason to prohibit it.

Murder is always wrong, always evil, always an injustice. Nobody needs to provide you any additional “reason” that murder must be illegal, and punished proportionately.

If you accept that some people should have the freedom to kill some babies, you are pro-abortion. Nobody is throwing that term around loosely.

And if you think that some private citizens ought to have the freedom to kill other innocent people, then you are not a member of Western Civilization. At some point, civilization just didn’t take.

You don’t need to provide me any additional anything.

I don’t have the power to implement or not implement law.

You are going to need to provide the nation’s people are reason why raped women should be forced to bear the children of rapists without being given the opportunity to make that decision themselves.

And I don’t think that is something you can sell.

You certainly haven’t been able to sell it so far. Not even close.

And candidates that are of this mind are not very articulate on the subject and are soundly defeated. So, don’t see it happening.

Furthermore, in this world, killing happens.

Murder happens.

State sponsored murder happens. This looks like an instance of state sponsored murder to me. Tell me if I’m wrong about that, but that’s what I think it is.

So the state says this is okay. Maybe the state will have to answer to God for that, but who knows for 100% certain if they will have to answer or not?

I believe that they will, but the fact of the matter is that is a belief. I don’t know for certain.

What I believe is that the crime of rape begins with denying a woman’s right to consent, and we do not undo that by further denying her right to consent.

We give her that right that was denied to her by the rapist. It then becomes her decision. It is her weight to bear, one way or the other, and it always was as soon as it happened to her.

Hopefully she makes the right decision, but it is certainly possible that she may not.

And really, I don’t see that changing, but I’m sure you disagree, which is fine.
