Abortion campaigns scramble for limited cash
From deep-red Arkansas and Missouri to purple Arizona and
Nevada, activists are already competing with each other.,
. . .
Ok, look folks - this is an issue that cannot be resolved
to anyone's total satisfaction. Science offers little,
ethics offers little, religions are all over the place
on the subject.
Unfortunately, the issue was taken-over by fanatical
extremists. Both 'pro-life' and 'pro-choice' went to
the rail-bumping radical edge in their philosophies
on the subject and drowned-out everyone else. This
has become more than words - there has been overt
violence and terrorism and some badly-thought
totalitarian-style legal "fixes" intended, but
failing, to please all of the people all of the time.
BOTH extremes are BAD POLITICS. The general public does
not like the black-n-white "choices", grasps that there
are many shades of grey involved in Real Life here.
Compromise is needed. This will make neither extreme
happy, will ruin their crusades (and fund-raising).
However the 'grey-ness' kind of demands this.
I'll offer the "semesterist" compromise ... any
pregnancy less than half done and the State gets
no authority. But, beyond that, when we're now
more into the "wired like a human" stage, the
restrictions increase sharply and 3rd parties
must become involved in JUDGING.
This will freak the "every sperm is sacred" nutters
AND the "half-born babies aren't babies" nutters.
GOOD - it's what they deserve. The REST of us can
get on with stuff that maybe DOES have definite
yes/no decisions involved.
