Have you ever stopped to consider that the law can't right every wrong? And that often, it shouldn't try. That if it does it can make things far worse?This is a massive red herring and missing the point entirely (the part in bold).
It's about what's right and what's moral.
For example ....
Prohibition of drugs and alcohol have done far more harm than good.Drugs and certain types of weapons are illegal and outlawed too but if there's a demand for it people will always get it - but again it's about what's right.
Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's "encouraged".No-one's stupid. Back street abortions will still happen, that doesn't mean you encourage abortions in law either.
Nope. If it only stops a handful of abortions, then it was a waste of time and money. Time and money that could have been spent persuading women to not get abortions.Even in the short-term if this new law stops even just a small handful of abortions then it's done good right away.
That's delusional.Medium to longer term it will encourage folk to be more responsible and in time this flippant attitude of using abortion as a form of contraception will vanish.
That's the whole point.
For me, the bottom line is the precedent that will be created. We should never grant the government jurisdiction over the contents of our bodies or our minds. Enforcing these laws will require a police state that I want no part of.
