Why can't pro-abortion activists and voters admit what the crux of the whole abortion debate is about? Either a fetus is to be defined as a human life, or it is not. If it is, then abortion is murder and must be outlawed. If it is not, then abortion is likely none of the government's business. It's that simple.
But I still have to listen to all sorts of claptrap about someone who is "personally opposed to abortion" but wants to "keep the government out of the bedroom" and blah blah blah blah blah. Look people, WHY are you personally opposed to abortion? Because you think a fetus, or at least a fetus at a certain point in the pregnancy, is a human being? Yet despite this conclusion, you feel the government should not attempt to outlaw what is by definition a murder, simply because it occurs in the bedroom? Shit, in that case, I'd like to find a bedroom somewhere and go in there with John Kerry and a blowtorch.
I have no problem intellectually with people who are pro-abortion because they think a fetus is not a life. They're wrong, but they're intellectually honest. The fact is that most pro-abortion wackos recognize the loads of scientific and philosophical evidence out there that proves a fetus is a life, so they deflect the issue by babbling about women and bodies and privacy. And a nonsensically reasoned Supreme Court case that none of them has likely ever read. None of these issues is relevant to the central question, because if a fetus is a life the rest doesn't matter. Unless you believe the government should not outlaw murder, in which case please help me fire up that blowtorch.
