It's none of his business. In other words, people can kill each other, **** each other, rape each other, whatever....it's none of his business. Don't ask him to intervene or say it's "bad".
Didn't say that at all.
In fact, if people rape or kill each other, usually you'll have a complaining witness or a body or evidence and people perfectly willing to file charges or make a complaint, and juries willing to send those folks to prison. So I'm not worried about those laws. Those thing will still happen, because we have depraved people, but society will do something about it.
Abortion. Well, medical professionals will perform them, women will still get them and you'd never find a jury in this country willing to convict someone for it. Society won't consider those people to be depraved or feel they are a threat to them.
Which is why no women were ever convicted of having abortions before Roe, and no one ever charged an abortionist with "murder". (And convictions for the very lesser crime of performing abortions were so incredibly rare no one was afraid of them.)
Again, I point to the example of Dr. Ruth Barnett. Portland area abortionist who peformed 50 abortions a day according to her own account. Her sentence? Two consecutive six month jail terms. She served four months. This is when abortion was illegal and "everyone" thought it was a good idea to keep it illegal. She was arrested a second time later in the 1950's and got 10 months. After a third arrest in 1965, she finally agreed to stop performing abortions.
This is an account of her life from an anti-Choice website. Lot of words, and they completely miss the point of why abortion laws won't work. They whine about how much money she made.

Imagine trying to enforce such a law after abortions has been legal for 40 years and people who aren't quivering before magic sky men accept that it should be. Imagine sting operations against gynocologists who will still perform abortions. Yeah, that's going to go over well.
A ban on abortion will not be like laws against murder and rape, that everyone agrees are good ideas.
They will be like laws against prostitution, or drugs, or gun control bans, that only some people think are a good idea and most other people will ignore, the authorities will only enforce sporadically and convictions will be impossible to get.
Which is why, I'd rather have us be like France, and give women other options without condemnation, than the Philippines, where they have a law that is ignored with impunity with bad results.
Any of this getting through, or are we going to get another round of "Abortion bad, Men make women have them"?
