13. I think that laws of this kind should be predicated |
|
not upon "morality" but upon harm to someone. Rape is a crime because it harms a person both physically and emotionally. Same for child molestation.
Giving a woman a choice on whether or not to terminate a pregnancey is not in itself a moral decision. By making abortion legal, all the government is doing is allowing the woman to decide which choice is the moral one for her.
