The abortion question is not one of viability. It is a question of the creation of a new life. Once conception occurs, it is no longer a question of the mother's rights alone. The new human life has the same inalienable rights as the mother.
There are plenty of contraceptive methods and devices. You can be sterilized if you wish. Either of those choices are yours too make as you wish. Don't try to frame those who storage up for the unborn as anti-choice. Science and common sense will tell you that if you are pregnant, you've already MADE YOUR CHOICE.
Agreed. Which is why SCOTUS drafted a compromise in Roe v. Wade. Human rights are human rights. Sometimes they come into conflict. When they do, a reasonable compromise must be struck to avoid extremism.
If you have 2 humans with equal rights, and at the end of the compromise one is dead and the other alive, I fail to see where the "compromise" is.
But you don't have "2 humans with equal rights." You have hundreds of millions of them. Nor is there an "end of the compromise." It's a give and take, legally. One side doesn't want any abortions to happen and the other side doesn't want government to have any say over someone else's body. So they strike a deal that neither of them will be happy about, but they can both live with.
In my opinion, Roe v. Wade is a pretty good deal. Viability is a line that I think we've proven that people can live with. Even if neither side is especially happy about it. I sincerely believe that if we veered too far from that in either direction that we wouldn't like the outcome.
I know for me, if in my home state, they were giving abortions out in the 3rd trimester, reaching up in there and cutting the spinal cord of a viable baby simply because it hadn't been born yet..I'd literally be burning down abortion clinics.
Push too far in the opposite direction, and I'm not sure what people on the other side of the issue would do, but I'm sure I wouldn't like that either. Sometimes a lose-lose compromise is the only way.
I understand your point, but my view is different than yours. I view our God-given inalienable rights as ABSOLUTE. They are above other humans' wants or desires. You cannot terminate another human because you desire it. Do I believe that making abortion illegal will end all abortions? Absolutely not. But the government should not be in the position of vacating God-given inalienable rights for some for the convenience of others. Clandestine abortions will always be available " I know a guy", but parties to that kind of arrangement are aware that their actions break both man's and God's law. "If women are going to get abortions anyway, let's make them legal so they are safe". If I decide to draw down on a drug dealer on a nearby corner, should I have government protection so that he cannot shoot back? To make it safe? Or is my action action to kill him illegal? Are his rights different because he is post-birth? My stand is that his rights are the same as mine and any other human pre or post birth. Sorry, no amount of debate will change my belief that all humans are created equal .
And THAT is what we are discussing here.
