Bob Schieffer said today that hate is strengthened by ignorance and love is strengthened by knowledge. I'd like to add that hate and love are choices we make. Something to think about.
I reviewed SC law and found that abortions are legal on demand up to 24 weeks. To me, a 12 week abortion is a procedure. A 24 week abortion is akin to murder. Why did we have to allow this to happen? I imagine pro life people refused to accept any law legalizing abortions thereby marginalizing their positions as left wing extremism and when doing so the longer term slid through. It was everything or nothing. It's a shame. To use Bill Clinton's words, abortion on demand should be legal, and rare. And I add, no longer than 12 weeks in gestation.
I vote conservatively. Always have. Women should have control of their bodies. So should newborn babies who, though their lungs are not developed enough to sustain them, are far enough along to be able to move and show signs of stress. Women who stop having periods while sexually active know that they may be pregnant in plenty of time to have a test and have it terminated within the first 12 weeks if they decide to do that. Further, I hope that clinics have the option of refusing to do the procedure if it has gone too long. It may not be perfect but it is a positive move in an area where change is desperately needed.
