What a can of worms. Seriously.
You are absolutely correct that this is a media frame job. Plain and simple. I'm not exactly sure of the path this took to get here, but here we are.
I heard a piece last week that had the sky falling and women reduced back to property and slavery. That author referred to 'Roe v Wade' as the law of the land and the Alabama law as being against the law.
Roe v Wade is a court case. A seminal case, to be sure, but still and all a decision by the Supreme Court. It IS NOT law.
I have two close friends that can not bear children because of botched back room abortions in the 60s. They were not performed in a 'medical setting' or by a doctor.
I'll make no comment on the choice, I simply can't. But I will say that there are circumstances where abortion seems the only choice and they should be done medically rather than in a back room.
Similarly there are circumstances where murder of people seems the only choice outside of wombs. We must lawfully preclude murder to ensure just government. Abortion is murder if the tenant of the womb is a person, and the development point of a person is in question. There can be no justification for murder being lawful. Self-defense is not operable, except in extraordinary medical cases.
At some point a human being is present in the womb in almost every pregancy, except, again, in extraordinary medical cases where the child is brain dead, and at that point abortion becomes murder. No matter how convenient or advisable murdering someone might be, a just nation cannot permit it. Every person has equal humanity, and the rights accorded us all are equal.
Thanks!
I flag trash. You have received a flag.
