But I will never believe that the government (or the father) has the right to tell a woman she can't do it - in the same way that the government (or the father) has no right to force her to have an abortion.[/quote] I believe new life issues are very personal ones and the government should not have any business in forcing anyone to terminate or to give new biological life... that is why the government had no business in determining the outcome of the Roe vs Wade case. The goverment role is to protect lives... all lives..The government has no business in determining who lives or who dies in regard to the womb. Its a very personal biological matter. The right decision in regard to the unborn lay with the mother who would have no other alternative but to give life if the government had not granted relief in the case. Are not we all created equal even in the womb? Is that infant in the womb considered human? If the body in the womb of the mother is not human, what is it? What would you call it... When we try to end violence, let try to start with the human in the womb. The truth is, however, that the pro-life movement does not seek to impose by law any religious or theological belief, whether about the soul or anything eise. Such an effort is both misguided and unnecessary. Suppose, for example, that I do not believe that you have a soul. Does that give me the right to kill you? No. it does not. Your life is still protected by the law, despite my beliefs. Does the law that protects your life require me to believe that you have a soul? No it does not. It doesn't even require me to believe that souls exist at all. What it requires is that whatever I believe, I refrain from taking your life. The law protects both the right to believe and the Iife of the believer. That is what the pro-life movement wants. We are simply calling for the protection of all human beings. We also uphold religious liberty. This means that religious beliefs should be embraced freely, not imposed by the law. We also recognize that to invoke religious liberty to destroy another's life is an intolerable abuse. If someone does not believe the child in the womb has a soul, that is his or her business. But to go on to say that because one doesn't believe that, it should be legal to kill the child, is equally as unjust as to say that because one doesn't believe you have a soul, it should be legal to kill you. The law doesn't care about the belief: It regulates the action. Do you agree? But whether a baby lives or dies should not depend on whether or not everyone in society has acknowledged that truth. Human life needs protection always.. The freedom "not to believe" should never be confused with freedom to destroy others potential humans inthe womb. If a government can decide that one group of human beings are not persons, and that they can be killed, it can decide the same for other groups as well. If freedom of belief justifies violence against a baby, it justifies violence against anyone. This is why the abortion fight will never end. The abortion battle is not a matter of pro-life wins or pro-choice wins, but rather of pro-life wins or nobody wins So.. I would hope in this particular case in where the father didn't choose being a father, just accept it and move on.. love that creation..
