Kyle Francis, I am disappointed in you. Campus Pro-Life was not calling for criminalising abortion. You are blowing smoke.
Here’s the abortion debate in a nutshell: If one doesn’t want a baby the baby’s life has no intrinsic value. If one wants the baby the baby’s life has value; want=value. A human life is now a transaction to be voided at will.
The ‘right to choose’ implies respect for human dignity. How many creatures in nature wantonly kill their own offspring? We as western nations are behaving extremely questionably by killing our weakest and most voiceless.
