This issue is a quagmire.
There are people that think contraception is a sin. People that think a postcoital contraceptive is a sin.
I think our country being destroyed is a sin and that people who push their hobby horse and damage the man who is the best chance to turn America around are doing the devil’s work.
Because of Trump thousand of lives have already been saved.
There needs to be a consensus. We can do the best we can state by state but a minimum consensus on 12-16 weeks or some other number would save many lives.
People do many things other people think is wrong. Abortion in the first trimester is one of those things. Wrong to me, a tragedy to the baby but maybe that is where the line could be drawn to save many millions of babies and eliminate the barbarous late term abortions.
Trump is correct. No amount of law will stop abortions, where they are illegal women still connive. After all the gains we have made destroying the opportunity to have more prolife, constitution respecting justices and rescue our Nation out of an insistence on the impossible is hubris and not reasoned commitment to life.
I think some people are conflating their personal or religious views of abortion with the politics of abortion.
Politically we are not going to ban abortion in this country.
Then the question becomes what should be done about abortion within our political system.
The vast majority of people in this country ,including state legislators and members of Congress ,do not want to ban ban abortion.
So then the question becomes where do we draw lines on abortion, politically.
And I think we should all be clear that we’re talking about the political issue of abortion. I think just about all people on Free Republic are against abortion and would prefer that abortion did not happen.
But in the political environment we live in, how do we translate those of views to legislation and or court rulings, to restrict abortion in the manner we might prefer.
So then you were back to how do we navigate abortion politically.
