Heck, lets call a spade a spade. Removing a child from the womb before it is born, ending it's chance for survival, that's killing it. Terminating pregnancy deliberately should be premeditated murder. If something does not survive, it dies. Death brought on by another's action is called killing or murder. Governments only role here should be to define what constitutes murder, and stop it's practice by enforcing criminal statutes as they pertain to the taking of innocent life.
On the other hand, we have the so called 'Pro Choice' crowd, that if they can succeed in defining an unborn baby as a non viable mass of tissue, then they can claim they are not committing murder. Now we all understand that an embryo if allowed to survive, will be a baby in about 9 months. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
The above being said, I do believe that services could and should be available for those in cases where the mother's life is in danger (tubal pregnancies and such). Maybe this makes me a hypocrite, but I think most of America hold similar views.
I do think it is absolutely abhorrent and it is murder to use abortion as a form of birth control. Birth control should take place before conception. Pro-choice before conception.
Sex ain't there just to make us feel good. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif It's that "other" purpose that is always forgotten about, and an innocent, unborn child gets to pay the cost for that decision. If you don't wanna have kids, remove yourself from the gene pool and get sterilized. Pro Choice should come before sex, not after. Otherwise, be prepared to take the consequences. If you don't want to parent the child, there are thousands of couples who would be more than grateful to have a baby to raise. I was one of them. I have two wonderful boys because two special ladies chose the other "A" word, Adoption!
Lastly, freedom to choose is paramount, but that still does not remove the consequences of a particular choice. Abortion proponents would have you believe it is no different than removing a wart, but a wart doesn't have the potential to become sentient human being. Abortion is killing a future human being, plain and simple.
The only role government needs to play here is the same role they play for any other human being and that is to protect the sanctity of life, and place appropriate punishment on those who would take that life.
This subject remains an issue of morality, the answer is also a reflection on the kind of society we have become. So I ask, "What kind of society are we, when we kill unborn children for convenience?"
