I think you are chasing your tail here....But let's assume that your stance is correct and your view is adopted as law.....I would then insist that every police department would have to do a potential murder investigation for every single miscarriage that occurs in this country....If the woman in question was ordered to bed rest but had to go to work, smoked cigs, drank alcohol, exercised, Took any type of medication that might harm the "manbryo," or indulged in any type of an activity that placed her lil' adult at risk....Then she should face charges of at least "cell-slaughter" all the way up to potentially murder....I have to admit that the thought of millions and millions of women "lezzing" out in prison is kinda hot....But overall, Tis a ridiculous notion.
Yeah, we couldn't hope to get it enforced perfectly, and penalties would have to be rather lenient at first when such laws would come into effect. That, plus we'd have to acknowledge that some things truly do happen by accident, and that they can't be much helped; the woman wouldn't be responsible for taking necessary risks as we're not in a position yet where we can afford to.
My friend, in a way, being pro-life goes against a lot of what I am. Quite elitist, really. Most people look like monkeys to me, so I often feel like they should have similar rights. Part of me rests a bit more easily knowing that, as technology increases, a person's mind will continually be a greater factor in determining their power, which will yield a society more to my liking.
For now, though, it's just hard to see some animals killing their own offspring, following whatever strange impulses that their conscience affords indulgence to out of a lack of understanding the consquences. And, too, I guess I have a soft spot for kids- those with so much potential in this world, not yet given into the pitfalls that we've all taken, to some degree or another, as our lives have gone on. A clump of cells, whether it has fingers yet or not, I understand will grow them if not interefered with. They're babies to me, not yet capable of understanding the world with the same prejustices we do, but growing all the same. If we don't kill them, they'll probably outlive us, probably still to go on to live better lives than we did, as such is the fashion of human progress.
To me, abortion is a monsterous, inhuamne practice allowed for by bliss ignornance. I.. can't hate the women who practice it as most of them probably don't understand just exactly how horrible what they're doing is; they, like the ones they're killing, are still innocent, even if they should now have blood on their hands. Ultimately, they're just too inexperienced to understand the damage that they're doing; how could I hate them? Regardless, though, the world constrains us from lofty ideals to the reality of things. That, humans, past the age of majority, must be responsible for their own actions as there are few greater beings to see us past this. People must be made accountable, even if they can't entirely understand the atrocities that they're commiting. Therefore, if I come to accept the constraints of society, falling from idealism to realism, I would have to hate these women. As I, too, must be responsible.. a purposefully transitory part of me does.
Edit: Darn quote tag.
