Face it, the argument about abortion is purely a legal one.

No one can say that a fetus is not a human, or a life.

Is it a person? I would say yes, as a dead person is still considered a person from a general sense.


What we are debating is who and when can kill them under the law.

The law is by its nature imperfect. It is the practical grounds under which we force compliance from individuals in society.

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.

This is a legal decision, and in a representative democracy, the people as a whole decide what the rules will be. It seems like there are two substantial minorities who do not agree with the rules, and the middle group sees it as a blend, but has issues with both extremes.

Classically this is in the US, where we agreed to let individuals decide, but the busybodies can’t leave it at that, whether it’s guns, abortions, booze, or whatever.
