we can define any word or concept as conveniently as we need to, whenever we need to. Suppose I stick a knife in good ol' dadika because he keeps playing his music so loud that I can't sleep, and he dies. When I'm accused of murder, can I just say 'no, he had a medical condition and It was between him and his doctor'?
Where do these idiots get their half-baked notions. Not one of them would hesitate to say I illegally murdered dadika in the scenario above, and they would all insist I be prosecuted and punished. Why? Because everybody understands that to take an innocent human life is wrong and there are therefor laws against doing so in a society where we all have to uphold the rights of others in order to expect the same consideration. But somehow, because a woman is involved or some other nonsense, it isn't murder anymore if the human life happens to be growing inside her and can't speak for itself.
OF COURSE, her condition is between her and her doctor. Her CONDITION. But the MURDER of her baby is between her and all of us, and if there isn't suitable justification for terminating the pregnancy, it is just plain murder. IF the pregnancy is an actual medical concern for the mother, that's now a different situation. Now the termination might be thought of as self-defense. But I referred sometime back to info from some government agency that keeps track of these things, and it clearly showed that the great bulk of abortions were matters of convenience brought about by a failure to use adequate prevention measures.
I have said repeatedly here that I loathe the idea of abortion, but that I could never speak for a woman who was carrying an unwanted baby. But I can damn sure speak for the baby, and I can support laws that force women to be responsible for what they bring about, and to not so casually allow such a predicament to happen to begin with.
The States all have their own laws against murder. Why all of a sudden is it a shock to think that they now have the duty to make laws concerning this particular form of murder? The fact is, the SCOTUS had no business making it a federal concern in RvW. But it CAN be a federal issue if Congress makes it one. Oh wait, that's right...the dems did try to get a bill passed that would have allowed the murder of a baby AT BIRTH, and for ANY REASON, and that bill almost made it through.
I'm happy to keep this a States issue.
