I often wonder if even other Mormon Cultists look at this guy and says, 'Yeah, he's nuts!"
hat's nonsense.
People die all the time from natural causes. We don't investigate those as potential homicides where there is no evidence that they were from anything other than natural causes.
Except, no. They usually do an examination. Now, yeah, if you are in a hospital and a doctor was treating you for terminal cancer, they aren't going to check very hard to make sure a relative didn't smother you with a pillow.
But if you are a healthy person who drops dead at home, you are darned right someone is going to do an autopsy to make sure you weren't murdered.
So how is this relevant to abortion? If a fetus dies, who is going to determine if it died of natural causes? Do you really think that they are going to trust the same OB/GYN's who were performing abortions before you made it a capital crime?
And here's the part you don't get. The mythology you anti-choice misogynists like you to pretend happened was that until SCOTUS handed down Roe, America was a happy, happy abortion-free place where we all loved Jesus.
The reality was, by 1973, the abortion laws were largely ignored, OB/GYN's were performing them in their offices and writing down something else on the chart. It's why the birth rate didn't drop in the 1970's. SCOTUS just got rid of laws no one was following to start with. And it should have been no more controversial than when SCOTUS scrapped the contraception laws 8 years earlier in
Griswold v. Connecticut. But then the Christian Right needed an issue to get asses into pews, and the "pro-life" movement was born. Before that, Evangelicals thought abortion and birth control were a "Catholic" issue they didn't care about.
If Mike hires Jim to murder Jack, and Jim gets a ride from Brian (with Brian in on the purpose of the ride) to where the murder is to take place; who gets charged with the crime?
Wow, so you are a psycho, aren't you? The problem here is that Jack is a recognized person with a name. (Usually, the cops will cut a deal with Brian and maybe Jim to get a conviction on Mike.) A fetus isn't.
They all do. Not just for the murder itself, but for the conspiracy to commit murder. And on conviction, they all deserve the death penalty.
I'm noticing a pattern here that you are really a murder happy individual.
Kill people for minor property crimes.
Kill women for having abortions
Kill people for damaging property during protests (if they aren't Trump supporters looting the capitol, that is.)
What never occurs to you is that maybe there are solutions to problems that don't involve murdering people. YOu know, like addressing the underlying causes.
No difference at all, morally or ethically, if the target of the conspiracy to commit murder is an unborn child. It's the same crime, and all willing participants deserve the same penalty.
Except a 1 inch blob of tissue isn't the same as a grown person. As stated, when abortion was illegal, people were never executed for performing them. They were rarely charged.
Now, I bring this up because going back to your example, we can have universal agreement that Jack is a person, and his murder is worth prosecuting. Except out of 20,000 homicides a year we have in this country, we only execute 20 or so people a year because that's how unreliable our system is. For every 10 people we've executed, 1 had been exonerated from death row.
But you aren't going to get universal agreement that abortion is murder. And the one thing we should learn from Prohibition is that when you don't have universal agreement that something SHOULD be a crime, enforcing it is going to be nigh impossible. It's why the drug and prostitution laws don't really work, either.
So let's say you identify the woman, her doctor, and her neighbor who drove her to the clinic because her boyfriend took a powder when the paddle came up with a +.
Let's say you get police to do an arrest (because they don't have any real crimes to prosecute) and a DA to indict.
Then you STILL have to get it in front a jury. You really think you are going to find a Jury in most of this country that agrees with you? If I ever found myself on such a jury, I'd vote to acquit, I don't care what evidence you brought.
