What gives you the right to tell a woman she can’t terminate her pregnancy?
This is more pro-choice double talk. These people know that we
are not trying to stop pregnancy terminations. All pregnancies
terminate! The only issue is whether they terminate with a live
baby or a dead one. Abortion is not about the termination of
pregnancy, but the termination of human life.
Now, if the question is, what gives us the right to tell a woman she
can’t have an abortion, the answer is absolutely nothing. In a
society of laws, no one is allowed to decide what activities others may
or may not engage in. As individuals, we have no more right to
tell a woman she can’t hire someone to kill her unborn child than we
have to tell her she can’t rob convenience stores. However, it is
right for there to be laws which say she can’t do so. Just as
government has the responsibility and the right to prevent armed
robbery, it has the responsibility and the right to prevent the killing
of innocent human beings, including those waiting to be born.
