    The quote below is from post # 1 aka OP


    Why is it most of the posters are NOT answering the OP. If you look at the link, the article is saying that abortion is illegal under our Constitution regardless of the decision the Supreme Court made in 1973.

    Now, I agree with all the Scriputres that have been quoted, and that in Gods eyes, abortion is murder, however, that is not the subject of discussion.

    Please answer the two questions in the OP, based on MAN'S LAW

    This passage speaks of wickedness and judgement, not supportive of abortion nor infanticide.

    The only thing Roe vs. Wade determined was a woman's right to medical privacy. In a sense, we allowed the spin put on by the abortion advocates and failed to persue the vunerabilities of the arguements of law pertaining to respect and preservation for human life!

    Isn't this is the contradiction? That a woman can kill her own baby if she intends to (premeditated) but someone else cannot? It appears to make murder an issue of who does it, and what was intended. In other words, it's not murder if the mother intended to kill the baby. It is murder if someone else kills it, whether intended or not.

    Surely you are not equivocating abortion and speeding. In most places, speeding is not a criminal infraction, but a civil infraction. In other words, it's not a crime to speed.

    Here I agree, and I think your comments about double homicide are resounding evidence for that.

    Maybe I can help.

    You are saying you can't make abortion illegal, and then go back and prosecute women who had an abortion when it was legal.

    donnA is saying that since abortion was illegal before 1975 (?) when the Supremes ruled it was legal, then any woman who had an abortion prior to 1975 should be prosecuted for murder of her child since there is no statute of limitations on murder.

    peace to you:praying:

    Actually, prior to Roe v. Wade, I recall it was up to the several states to determine this. Legality depended on the jurisdiction. However, since the decision ruled the state laws prohibiting abortion unconstitutional, any prior abortions would have been ruled constitutional by the ruling, so I don't believe that holds up.

    Interesting article..

    Still thinking about the premise of it...

    As for the second question.. yes, if abortion is considered illegal, then the women and the drs should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law in the state they live in.
