Then every law is unenforceable--we haven't fired all the police and sold their black & whites, have we? Shall we have anarchy?<br /><br />Or does unenforceable mean that it's hard to collect evidence without violating other moral laws? If so, we again have a clear example from history that anti-infanticide laws were in fact enforceable.<br /><br />Either way, I simply don't see your friend's point.Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19931572.post-4406143517431064572006-10-20T12:22:00.000-06:002006-10-20T12:22:00.000-06:00And I would agree that outlawing abortion would di...And I would agree that outlawing abortion would diminish its occurrence.<br /><br />(The background on the post is that I was discussing the subject with a Libertarian Baptist (what?!? ;^) and he generally opposes laws that are unenforceable.)<br /><br />BTW: replying to posts via the links in the blogger.com emails means that you don't have to log in!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349169580520258486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19931572.post-26279863597017112852006-10-20T10:24:00.000-06:002006-10-20T10:24:00.000-06:00True, but I would argue that a law against abortio...True, but I would argue that a law against abortion would also greatly reduce this abomination. Those who oppose anti-abortion laws carefully neglect the fact that abortions increased by over an order of magnitude after Roe V. Wade.<br /><br />Put gently, it's hard to hide the fact that you're performing a surgery, especially when you goof up from time to time and need to send your mistakes to the emergency room or morgue.Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.com
