Pro-life millennial women speak out

Great--now, how will you re-criminalize abortion? Will the women who have abortions be arrested on murder charges? If not, why not? Maybe a lesser charge like manslaughter? Surely, they can't be let off scot-free. The self-identified pro-life movement folks have painted themselves into a corner on this.

Crystal - If there is any truth to the idea of equal human rights, then no person is greater or lesser than another. It is not affected by age or size or mental or physical capacity. Also, every human person has a soul and we will meet those souls in heaven. You are right that women are not arrested for killing their unborn children. Many are even praised for it. But, many things in history were very wrong even though they increased the perpetrator's status - the number of wives a Sultan had, the numbers of slaves on a plantation, etc. The American Medical Association, a scientific organization, had no problem calling abortion murder in the past (http://horatiostorer.net/AMA_vs_Abortion.html). Here is a quote from that website, that is as true today as it was then: "Without entering into any unnecessary detail upon this delicate and ungracious topic, it may suffice to allude only to the ghastly crime of abortionism, which has become a murderous trade in many of our large cities, tolerated, connived at, and even protected by corrupt civil authorities, and often patronized by newspapers whose proprietors insert conspicuously the advertisements of these male and female vampires, for a share in the enormous profits of this inhuman traffic in blood and life. "These murderers, for such they are, are well known to the police authorities; their names, residences, and even their guilty customers and victims arc no secret to the authorities; they have their boxes at the post-office, loaded down with their correspondence and fees; take their seats at the opera; promenade our fashionable thoroughfares, and drive their splendid equipages upon our avenues in proud magnificence, while the “blood of the slaughtered innocents” is crying against them for vengeance."
