I have resisted the temptation to jump back in here because of the emotional hotbed this can/has become.
I believe aborting a fetus is the stopping of a heartbeat, and therefore the taking of a life. Even though our government has decided that the act is acceptable and legal, does not mean everyone believes that.
Someone mentioned earlier that you had the option of 'voting with your feet'. When the government takes your money in taxes and diverts them into questionable areas, it makes me an accomplice to what I believe is the taking of an innocent life.
I do not denying that you as a citizen of the US under our constitution can make the decision to abort. As with anything, you take the responsibility to live with the consequences (and absorb the costs associated with it). Don't expect me to pay for it.
Equating the abortion issue with the actions of war are disingenuous. Killing of the unborn is simply continuing the slippery slope of creating a society that no longer is required to think about the results of their actions. Do what you want, the outcome is irrelevant, because you can either kill it or the government (we the people) will pay for it.
If people knew without a doubt, that they would have to live with the consequences of their actions, their would be a lot less stupid decisions made.
We beat situational awareness to death on INGO for obvious reasons. Why wouldn't you use a similar thought process when dealing with other issues. Why? Because if you do something stupid with a handgun and hurt another, you WILL be held accountable and none of us want that. Other decisions, there seems to be no accountability required.
Ultimately, keep the government out of businesses they don't belong in (which is most of them). They usually mess them up....
