21. Sorry, But You Need to Think Through With Your Advocacy For Lawmaking
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 03:31 PM by David Zephyr
On one hand you write, "The major problem I have with my idea is I have a hard time enforcing the law. I think that abortion at a certain point is murder, but not the same level as normal murder, maybe on the level of killing a pet. I don't think that punishing doctors only works..."

A law that is not enforced is silly.

So are you advocating "punishing" the woman? You seem to have skipped over that part? Personally, I believe that forcing a woman through childbirth, because of your personal views, is a vicious and extremely cruel punishment. How can you not possibly see this?

You advocate for lawmaking, yet you won't "punish" the doctor. So who would you suggest be punished for a violation of your law? The woman?

What you are really saying is that men have a special right to procreate through rape. There's no way around it. That's the crux of your argument for making law to make women give birth.
