While I'm not a fan of abortion I would much rather see a woman remove the "unborn" fetus before it gets to experience life, I'm sick of hearing about mothers drowning their kids in bath tubs, throwing them into rivers beating them to death etc etc.

Giving a child life then ripping it from them is the cruelest of all.

How are the two practices different? You've basically proven my point for me.
Abortion is akin to infanticide. Mothers who abuse and kill their children should be arrested and prosecuted as J_Ball said. Why do you want to legalize one form of murder over another?

The concept of abortion, and the practice more so, is an assault against life. That is indeed a reality.

The concept of the State having the right to control a person is more of an assault in my opinion.

The problem becomes where is the line of control that the State has over the Individual to be drawn? And how far into the Individual's life does the State have the right to interfere?

So you concede that abortion is akin to murder, then you say you're more concerned with how intrusive government has become into the lives of its citizens.
To me, that sounds like you're trying to imply that the government shouldn't have the right to outlaw certain kinds of murder.

Please tell me I read wrong....

The Founding Fathers did not intend for the State to have the type of powers that are had now. The Patriot Act would cause them to spin in their graves.

As would Social Security, Medicare, the income tax, affirmative action policies, the controversy over "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, many current forms of gun control, and the legaized practice of abortion.

Right now, we're focusing on abortion; let's take this one issue at a time.

Quote:

For Men, who have never and will never experience the trials that a Woman goes through to be the ones making the Laws is not right. It is a method of enslavement taking the rights of an Individual away. Typically, Governments do not handle that responsibility well and historically have abused it terribly.

That would be true if women weren't allowed to vote; could not run for federal offices such as the House of Representatives or the Senate; could not be appointed to major executive offices; could not be appointed to federal judgeships; and could not participate in their state and local governments.

Each is the case, however, so whatever "enslavement" of women you think men have does not exist in reality.
