Mike D,

This is not the Marines, where, because Johnny stayed out past curfew, everyone must do 200 extra laps.

Your argument (and Everette's) seems to be, because some woman aborts for cosmetic reasons, there should be a law that denies ALL women the right to choose, ie--one vain woman messes things up for women who perhaps should have the power to choose. If this is not what you intend to convey, then please clarify your argument!

Why is the law so binary? Why can't we create a law that says, "no abortions for you, vain woman, but you raped women may choose what you want to do, since you were impregnated against your will.

Why can't there be such a law? One that differentiates? Why? Because we assume to know God's feelings about this?!?!?

Whether or not god exists is irrelevant to this conversation. If god DOES exist, people are STILL interpreting what that god wants. PEOPLE are STILL making the final decisions, NOT "god."
