Does the Public Understand Roe v Wade?

And if I haven't been clear - it is the current state of the law that I find objectionable. That law - decided by nine unelected Supreme Court justices in 1973 - has led other citizens down this path. In other words, there was no legal abortion before 1973. In times past, people would have found a way to have the baby and make it work. Or they would have planned better.

But when the law says something is OK, and then people pursue the action, it's the law that is to blame. Someday if they regret what they've done, it was the legality of abortion that misled them.

I'm sure history has many names of unplanned children who later went on to achieve great things. It doesn't always end in a tragedy.

I never said abortion is the only choice and I also never said all unplanned children end in a tragedy.

Not sure why you feel the need to be so disingenuous, but it doesn't win the argument for you. Just the opposite actually.

I don't know you, but I've always found the people who are hellbent on telling others how they should live their lives are usually the most morally bankrupt people around. I would suggest they are emotional reactions stemming from a lot of guilt. Probably a tough thing to accept, isn't it?
