A question for the pro-life advocates. Do you propose using the power of the government to restrict women's access to abortion ?

Yes

How would you accomplish this ?
|
Good question, looks like you've got the answers written down here below.
Quote:
|
Would you restrict access to abortion nationwide ?
|
yes
Quote:
|
Would you limit legal penalties to lifting the licenses of medical practitioners who performed abortions after a cease and desist date ?
|
limit, no. Include, yes
Quote:
|
Would you arrest, prosecute and jail women who have an abortion or practitioners who perform them ?
|
You'd have to look at it case-by-case, but jail time and/or fines would be the punishment
Quote:
|
Would there be any exceptions to a legal ban on abortion; the life of the mother, rape, incest, diagnosed pre-natal fetal abnormalities or hereditary diseases ?
|
some
Quote:
|
Who would you trust to determine which abortion requests to approve, vs. determining which performed abortions are crimes ?
|
a priest
Quote:
|
Would appeals of abortion applications be allowed ?
|
thats a good idea.
Quote:
|
Would courts and attorneys be involved in the application and decision process ?
|
if you know courts and attorney, you bet they will.
Quote:
|
Would the abortion ban or the appeal process unfairly burden or discriminate against women with the least money and influence ?
|
Someone will most likely complain
Quote:
|
How do you propose preventing or discouraging women who can afford to purchase a flight out of this country with the intent of obtaining an abortion in Paris, or in Bermuda ?
|
by restricting travel by requiring pre-flight pregnancy tests and border exit checkpoints on land routes in and out of the U.S.
Quote:
|
When I was in college, in the early 70's, women who wished to terminate a pregnancy simply flew to Puerto Rico for a weekend.
|
ok
Quote:
|
do you concede that your implementation of an outright abortion ban or severe restrictions on the procedure would have the effect of restricting access to abortion mostly on women who can least afford to provide post natal care to a child ?
|
um...no.
Quote:
|
Are the consideration of these details for the purpose of proposing an abortion ban that is comprehensive and effective, but practical and non-discriminatory, a mental exercise that you have spent much time engaging in, or have you confined your objections to the details in your opinions and arguments that you have posted here ?
|
yes
Quote:
|
Is it important to you that all American women are equally restricted from obtaining abortion services ?
|
yeah, but thats just about impossible. So we might as well let everyone have an abortion since we can't equally restrict all women from having an abortion. That makes a lot of sense
