Good points from both of you. Abortion may have been a bad starting point..... in that it is too controversial, but ......
1St who is to say abortion is the ultimate sin? A religion? The government? Who? And if in saying God says it is, then is it not God to pass judgement and not a government.
2nd the point I was trying to make is in prohibiting abortion (there has been, is now, and always will be unwanted pregnancies and premarital teen sex and abortion no matter what government does), and forcing people who cannot mentally or financially handle a child then turning your back on them by cutting social services and treating kids from this environment as tho they are to blame raises crime, which in turn raises taxes in the end anyway.
I am not saying to abort all unwanted pregnancy, I am simply saying if society prohibits abortion, then it is society that must provide the oppurtunities for that child to advance in life.
Scipio, very good points.
