suppose she had an abortion at 12 weeks and a day.
she gets 3 years in the pen for manslaughter and zimm walks.
good deal, right?
As I said, several times, the 12 week limit was an arbitrary choice on my part. I am willing to listen to other suggestions about when to draw the line. There should be a line drawn, though.
Killing in self defense is justifiable homicide, and not a crime. This thread is not about Zimmerman, though.
I actually sympathize with you on this discussion, Buck. This whole discussion is a lot like the arguments about the second amendment. The gun rights folks (like me) absolutely refused to budge a fucking inch on the issue because we believed that if we made any concession it would simply be the camel's nose under the tent.
Where the two issues differ, of course, is there is not a single word in the constitution that grants any right to an abortion. Roe V Wade was a terrible decision from a legal perspective, and I say that as somebody who supports abortion up to a point.
