Personally? I would see the abortionist (the Doctor's that actually performed the procedure) put on trial for murder and the "mother" up on charges of aiding & abetting a felony (at the least), consipiracy to commit murder and murder. This is assuming that abortion is no longer legal and killing the unborn child is again a crime. Since it is, currently, legal, then it is not *technically* murder.
If the woman is incapable of motherhood, then she shouldn't be spreading her legs and inviting the act of procreation. Period. Otherwise, she should suck it up, deal with the fact that she's screwed up, and learn. Some of the best mothers I've seen are those that weren't ready for it, but rose to the challenge. Texas Wahine is a good example of one of these ladies.
The way you phrase it choice means to wilfully murder a child |
That's the thing about Free Will, and the freedoms that we possess here in the U.S. (and even most Western countries) - we are free to make our own choices, even if they are illegal.
Everything you do is a choice. Sometimes, you may not like the options available to choose from, so it seems like there IS no choice, but you always have a choice. Good, bad, or indifferent. Even the choice of not making a choice, is making a choice (you're choosing not to choose one of the immediately obvious choices).
So, yes, I believe that anyone choosing to abort a child, is choosing to murder the child, even if the law currently doesn't describe it as such. However, it's still a choice that each individual needs to make on their own.
