For example how can you make illegal a medical procedure for which there is no obvious punitive action? That is, who do we punish? The doctor? If we punish the doctor then we must also punish the mother. Will having doctors and mothers in jail benefit society? That next question is should government regulate sex? That is, unwanted pregnancy is the sole cause for abortion so doesn't it follow that if we want to eliminate abortion we'll have to regulate sex? This would be similar to, say, morphine. It has legitimate uses, but it can also be a vector for illegal acts. If abortion were illegal the same would be true of sex. But then I'm a social liberal: I don't think the gov't has any jurisdiction over my body and so I would favor legal (but regulated) prostitution, drugs, euthanasia, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Homesite Plus with Dreamweaver from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=55 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:177296 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=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
