If abortion becomes illegal, will ex-providers be like Nuremburg Defendants?
Years ago I went to a pro life meeting. I dont recall the official name of the organization. By the way, I think that abortion should be allowed under certain circumstances. I was a visitor. I like to try to really understand the view points of other people.
I talked one-on-one with one of the gust speakers to try to understand his perspective of the issue of Abortion. I asked him what he wanted to see in America. He advocated outlawing abortion and prosecuting those who had provided for abortions even when it was legal for providers to have done so. I asked him how he reasoned that doing so was just. I asked him about the phrase ex post facto. He explained that he knew the legal principal and then asked me if I knew about the Nuremburg trials. He said that Nazis were punished after the war for executing Jews, a practice that was legal and the Nazis were following orders.
He explained that some things are so evil and heinous to human psyche that the world, so to speak, is justified in punishing those who commit such atrocities even though it was legal to commit such wrongs when they were done.
Any comments?
