Roe-Wade Woman’s right of choice

[scook]

Yes, but killing someone because they are inconvenient is in all other cases murder under the law and in this case certainly murder in the moral sense. Where an abortion is is the equivalent to self defense - in the cases of rape, incest or an actual life or serious health threatening issue for the mother, there’s room for exceptions.

It’s not an honest discussion of the issue to leave out the absolute fact that an abortion kills at least one baby.

It’s a tragedy that babies are being borne to mothers who shouldn’t be having them and can’t give them a decent upbringing. My daughter has done years of work with that population and it’s heartbreaking to experience it. That problem has been hugely promoted by probably well intended permissive, supportive government programs that make irresponsible behavior much easier to get away with. The notion that all carrots and no stick works is foolish beyond imagination, yet liberal policies continue to accelerate down that path.

It would also be helpful if adoption wasn’t an absolutely cruel, punishing, insanely expensive process. Our family has had significant experience with that, and I can only say that the system is unconscionable and abusive in the extreme.
