Who would support making abortion a capital crime, ex post facto, and bills of attainder for Drs and politico?

Question

I would. In a heartbeat. Please, poli-sci majors... I know this is against the constitution, thank you I have read the annotated version.

I still would support it.

That means making it a crime retropectively and ceasing the property of doctors and politicians who support it and punishing their families as well.

Drastic times = drastic measures

Not tthe women... they are just as much victims as the babies. I am talking about Dr.s and politicians who support it only...

Answer 1

One need not even be religious to recognize that the natural law takes precedence over the temporal law. Otherwise, there would have been no basis for the Nuremberg trials. Human nature is all that is necessary to know fundamental good and evil. Hitler knew the natural law; he knew what he was doing was evil.

We can ignore the natural law out of egotism, trying to displace the creator and deluding ourselves into thinking we are self-created. But more insidious, particularly in our understanding of democracy is that numbers add up to fact, and if we reject such irrationality we are ostracized. Being ostracized is harder to resist than a tyrant because we come to believe “I can't be right if everyone else thinks otherwise.”

It is particular to democracy to confuse the temporal law, the Constitution for example or its interpretation by mere mortals on the Supreme Court, with the role of creator. Law often mistakes right from wrong. But when it, the media and one's own parents insinuate that the law is the highest morality, a young person can easily forget the natural law as those Delaware teens who flushed a newborn down a toilet at their prom and went on dancing.

They didn't suffer from not knowing. They suffered from hardening of the conscience drummed into them by their culture. No one who has taken elemental biology believes the fetus is anything but a person at a stage of development. But like drivers use the first defense to a cop for driving 30 miles over the speed limit that "everyone else is doing it."

Yes, a good argument can be made for punishing the abortionist for committing a felony. They know what they are doing is wrong. They are motivated by elitism, that as scientists they are above good and evil. They claim the special powers of creator. This is the danger of in vitro fertilization.

Ex post facto or bills of attainder present other dangerous precedents and are peripheral to the abortion issue.

Our purpose is to respect human life. Punishment is only useful in creating fear in abortionists of future killing. Due Process is not the problem. What evil this nation has committed cannot be undone. We must stop this culture of death which perpetuates Nazism now. This reminds me of what must stand as Woody Allen’s funniest line. He wrote “I would favor the use of capital punishment before the commission of the crime.”

Congress can pass a law by mere majority making abortion, euthanasia and withholding of normal medical support from the elderly a first-degree felony and it can also by mere majority withdraw the appellate power of the courts to hear this subject. The best and most honorable hope is that the Supreme Court will reverse Roe v. Wade for both federal and state courts

And what happens then? Every teenage girl in America who is scared and pregnant can go to some back alley quack to get poked with a coat hanger? Great idea!!! As long as your religious morals are forced into law, what do you care!

Here's an idea! Since you're so gung ho about saving aborted babies, why not take all your time and energy and try to offer those women an alternative. Tell them YOU'LL raise their children!

Oh wait... you couldn't do that. No, that might be something Christ would do, not a hate-filled Conservative mudslinger who feels he is justified in slamming judgement on everyone.

Answer 3

SOmeone has no idea how many abortions are performed on how many women. Don't you think your chances with the opposite sex are already challenged enough, without eradicating 25% of women from the planet? How about every time a child support payment is late, we chop a man's balls off? Fair?

I'm glad people don't read details, and just cry emotion all over the place on this one. People here actually want to punish the FAMILIES of the people who support this legislation? That's like organized crime sh*t...funny. No wonder politicians will never outlaw abortion! It serves to flare up people's emotions too well!

Answer 4

I'm against abortion, but what you propose is way over-the-top.

That's like saying, let's make selling cigarettes a capital offense because it kills people. So, let's prosecute all the grocery store vendors who sold it over the years, the farmers that grew the tobacco, of course the tobacco companies, and the politicians that wouldn't make it illegal. It's a totally unrealistic stand.

And let's not do anything to the smokers who made the choice...victims my butt...where did you get that?

Answer 5

And what if you find out your daughter, wife or mother had an abortion years ago. Should they be charged with a crime as well?
You have no clue. I can guarantee you that some woman close to you in your life has had an abortion and you would never know it. Odds are it has happened. A aunt, a cousin, a family friend. Someone somewhere in your family or friends has.

Answer 6

Utter foolishness!

The biggest criticism I have of MY party these days is opening the door to Constitutional abuse by the other party.

Leave the Constitution alone. There is no one alive today wise enough to improve it.

Where would THAT slippery slope end? How about the men who abuse their roles as husbands and fathers in the first place?

Simply throw out Roe v. Wade, and send abortion to the States, where it should have been, in the first place! No Constitutional tampering required!

Answer 7

How many years did the GOP control Congress and do absolutely nothing about the abortion issue? Gee, could it be that abortion, lke gay rights is there cash cow come election time?

Answer 8

No, although I don't agree with abortion as personal choice, I have no intention of taking in or providing for all the unwanted children that would result. We need to stop trying to use laws to govern other people's morality.

Answer 9

Why are the women the victims? They chose the abortion...

Answer 10

Nice - a return to the dark ages. Shall we start slavery again too? I know! Lets enslave the Muslims!
