But what the Alabama case does is in fact assert a state's right, yes?
Yes.
But ...
77% of the American people oppose 3rd trimester abortion.
77% of Americans support a provision that allows abortion for incest and rape.
As ToddF suggested-- a bill that matches what they do in Europe - or at least allows the 1.5% of abortions that are done for reasons of rape or incest.. would be far more defensible. I have a friend in Europe and they can't believe that either of these positions is advocated.
We don't trust the liberals and their gun controls because we suspect its a camels nose under the tent - that the final goal is total confiscation
The left is convinced that is the final goal of any abortion legislation - and here they are - proving it.
This evens the playing field - they want to control us, we want to control them
Regardless of the truth that is how it will be spun - its one form of extremism or another.
They scream they are coming for your abortions each and every election - even when no one has said a damn thing.
Now they have a credible threat to point to
Doing this now only helps the Democrats.
Yes this should be a decision returned to the state level - and really - as much as we are morally convinced it is taking a life - we don't know when life begins any more than anyone else. If we can't convince an individual abortion is immoral - because by any rational measure that is the truth, we should let them kill the baby (with thier own money) - Let Darwin do his job. If we can't trust them with that choice, we can't trust them to raise a child. And if we did - you have a new generation of criminals, welfare parasites and Democrat voters. Is that in anyway moral or fair to the baby? NOPE.
Is it practical? Yep.
Don't interfere with the enemy while they are committing suicide.
So conservatives should just accept that - and push for some point that is a reasonable compromise - that restricts the practice to to an early point accepted by most people - when there is a heartbeat - brain activity - or the potential for suffering - and let God sort it out. Its not a moral solution , but trying to win this war now, is just stupid.
