Golly? No Kiddin'?
Naturally, then... given that murder, theft and deceit can never be 'stopped'... all criminal sanctions relevant to such, should also be lifted?
(Insert insipid rationalization: HERE!)
You ignored the other part of my discussion- that unlike murder laws, no one ever enforced the abortion laws.
Women were NEVER arrested for having abortions, and the guys who performed them were only arrested if they were incompetent and injured the woman they worked on.
In short, there WERE no Criminal Sanctions relevant to abortion.
A case study in point. Dr. Ruth Barnett was a Portland Oregon area abortionist who performed 40,000 abortions between 1918 and 1968. The law didn't even go after her until the 1950's and she spent a few years in jail off and on.
But how odd is it that from Eugenics came the destruction of the US black culture and Sexual Abnormality run amok.
BUt it didn't "Come" from that. It did come from some science that was not well understood. for instance, the results of poverty and poor nutrition being mistaken for genetic shortcomings.
Now we've mapped the human genome. We can identify diseases like Tay-Sachs and Downs.
