    That case seems to be about prohibiting home abortion with abortion drugs, not much in common with what I talk about.

    At best that is naive. Are we then entitled or have the right have pollution free air, pure spring water, chemical free environments and so on?

    No, what is truly naive is to think that laws are meaningless unless they deter 100% of would be offenders or 100% of all cases are successfully prosecuted. He is correct!

    The legislation in question is far more stringent

    What if they do not deter any cases?

    Can you prove this? Many women will abide by the law.

    Can you prove this? What makes you think that any woman will abide by a law she disagrees with?

    Well for starters many women DO agree with illegal abortion, but otherwise people routinely abide by laws they may not think are appropriate. Regardless, those who do not should be prosecuted for the greater good. Deterrence is a secondary reason to have a law in place.

    One would presume that those women who DO agree with illegal abortion would not HAVE an abortion anyway.....but one would be wrong.

    People do not abide by "morality" laws they disagree with, they do not believe it is the government's business to regulate such matters, and secondarily, they realize in the case of abortion that it is impossible to apprehend a woman having an abortion.

    :bored: Fabricated stories by a blatantly biased pro abortion site are MUCH less than persuasive!!!


    That is an interesting theory, but there is nothing of any credibiility to support it. People strive to obey the laws of the land in general.

    I would advise people that think like this to never have children. This is an entirely self-centered attitude. If you do not give enough of a crap about the well-being of your own child in utero to naturally WANT to do what is best to ensure it develops healthily, then you are only going to (*)(*)(*)(*) it up worse after it's born because you will always put yourself first. Parenting should be a naturally selfless act.

    You are making an excellent case for abortion considering the fact that there are scores of people who are the exact opposite of what you deem necessary for good parenting and by the way I do agree that those should be necessary attributes for parents.

    Like during prohibition, another stellar example of failed morality coercion.

    Did the majority of AMericans drink alcohol then? Did as many drink then as now?

    Until you can show statistical proof, you are just spewing diarreah from your fingers.

    So, I see I was correct, you have nothing to back up anything you allege.
