Frankly, there has been alot of debate if abortions should be legal or not, mainly pro-life and pro-choice on each side...
Some protester believe that abortion should be illegal, but that women who have undergone it, should be sheltered with love from the community, to show them the error of their ways and allowed to repent.
However, our law states that killing of born children, be it infants or teenagers, is a crime.
Which leads to an interesting paradox.
If abortion is seen by society as killing a life, it should be illegal.
If so, is it amounting to murder/manslaughter?
If so, and abortion is illegal, then should the women caught doing these illegal abortions suffer jail-time/caning or even the death penalty?
Just food for thought, sometimes the situation is just bigger than it seems, and solving the immediate, might have repercussions.
Is "it" an item - part of the mother, like a limb...
or an identity, a life, that should be protected by law.
