Since nobody is saying, "What this country needs is more abortions!" Everyone is anti-abortion; all wish there to be no abortion. Therefore, the only question is how you choose to do away with abortion. It's a simply policy debate - we all agree on the problem, the disagreement in on the solution. The "pro-lifers" choose solve the problem by making those who have an abortion criminals. That is, treat the consequence rather than the root cause. The "pro-choicers" choose to treat the root cause, unwanted pregnancy. Stop those and there's nothing for the "pro-lifers" to complain about. > Perhaps they are "mis-guided", but where do ignorant and/or cowardly come > into play? > Ignorant because they must not understand how pregnancy happens or what the root cause of abortion is. It would be like treating The Plague by making black scabs illegal. Cowardly because stopping the root cause, unwanted pregnancy, is MUCH more difficult and uncomfortable that simply taking a moral stand that nobody disagrees with. It's like taking a stand against hurricanes vs. designing the gov't policy to adequately protect the life and property of citizens. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:174447 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
