| Post subject: | Eddie Robbins: The abortion debate.... |
| With states adding laws restricting abortions, many hypothetical questions come up. Of course, most abortions are not these but what if it happens? Here’s one I just read. Someone’s 11 year old gets raped by a family member but she doesn’t tell because she’s afraid and really doesn’t understand what happened. 4 months later, the parents find out she’s pregnant and finds out it was with her brother. Are you willing to put her in prison for 30 years for having an abortion? |

| Sadly, there are probably far more of these situations actually happening than anyone wants to believe. Your hypothetical scenario is one that I imagine has happened many times. What was the recourse before abortion was legalized? Was the woman/girl forced to carry and deliver the child? I can’t think of an alternative prior to Roe v. Wade. I have a distant cousin whose father was conceived via rape. In the 50’s and 60’s abortion wasn’t legal, so I assume the woman did what she had to do. Does that make it right? I cannot answer that.The danger of permitting “exceptions†is that it’s still abortion, it’s still terminating the life of the unborn. How do we justify such a thing? Are there situations when two wrongs do make one right?I do not know the answers. What I do know is that sin abounds, and because of it people are making choices that they were never intended to make. To answer your direct question, my conscious would not allow me to send a woman to prison for 30 years because she had an abortion. I would hope that mercy and compassion would be considered in such cases “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.” |

| Does the law say 11 year olds go to prison for 30 years? I haven't seen that one. No, it was hypothetical. I guess it depends on what a judge says. No, it will depend on what he law says.It doesn't say that. The one I saw says it is a misdemeanor for the lady getting one. If she is 11, I am sure it will be less. Of course, somebody needs to be going to jail if an 11 year old is pregnant.That said - that law should have had an exception for rape or incest...but with the morning after pill available for most rapes - I am not sure it would come into play very much anyway |

| The governor of Alabama said:No matter one’s personal view on abortion, we can all recognize that, at least for the short term, this bill may similarly be unenforceable. As citizens of this great country, we must always respect the authority of the U.S. Supreme Court even when we disagree with their decisions. Many Americans, myself included, disagreed when Roe v. Wade was handed down in 1973. The sponsors of this bill believe that it is time, once again, for the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit this important matter, and they believe this act may bring about the best opportunity for this to occur. |

| Why didn't the states call a convention back then to overturn this unconstitutional SCOTUS decree? The states are asleep. Bu at least some are fighting back |
