Religion, Abortion and the Role of Government | Capital Commentary

Religion, Abortion and the Role of Government | Capital Commentary by Timothy Sherratt.  MGB: The author misses the point on why abortion is legal.  Privacy applies to a relationship to which no third person is a party, that person being the child, because the child is not recognized as a person before the law.  Until the movement puts forward a cogent proposal to change that status, there is no real issue to discuss on abortion.  More in keeping with a Christian Democratic soluton, supportive care to parents can be provided to not only get through the pregnancy, but to support the child until maturity without the parents having to give up their future - necessitating a much more robust program of income support than is currently customary in the United States - although it is quite common in European democracies.
