We are seeing the inevitable result of the lack of respect for life that leads to supporting abortion. They started out with Roe vs Wade saying we didn’t know when life began so we couldn’t protect it. That gave those who support abortion a green light to go ahead and perform abortions because they knew they wouldn’t be punished. Then they began to push the limits by waiting until the baby is ready to be born and delivering it feet first so they could kill it before it was fully delivered. While the baby was dead when it was delivered, it was killed during the process of delivery. They knew full well that it was a baby, fully formed, and went ahead and killed it, claiming immunity under Roe vs Wade. Now, they are pushing for bills in a number of States that would allow them to kill the baby within a month to six weeks after birth. That was their intention to begin with, however they started out with what they thought they could get away with. There is no way they can claim immunity under Roe vs Wade. Once it is born, it is definitely a person under the law, protected by the Constitution. To kill a living baby is murder under the law in all 50 States and to claim they can kill it because it isn’t wanted opens up a whole lot of problems. It basically says we have the right to kill anyone we consider unwanted. Although they limit it to a month to six weeks after birth, that is just an arbitrary limit and it is easy to extend that to 6 years of age as some European nations do, or even 12 years of age as other European nations have done. Once you open that box, there is no limit to how far you can extend it. It is just as easy to say you can kill anyone that is unwanted, no matter what their age. Once you claim that right, there is no limit to how far you can stretch it. The gunman that walks into a building and begins shooting and the terrorist who plants a bomb feel they have just as much right to kill people as the doctor in the hospital. Society cannot say anything because they have already established the principle that it is alright to kill those who get in the way of your happiness.
