In short, I'm not sure that the abortion problem can be solved by legislation. I think it can only be solved through moral persuasion.
I only have disdain for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He raised taxes and has increased regulations. What else is new? He's a bully who wants to micro-manage people's lives by mandate, not persuasion.
Moral persuasion over a period of time makes a difference, but we shouldn't be naive to think that just because we raise it in a meeting it will make all those problems go away. It won't and it doesn't.
I'm not in love, but I'm open to persuasion.
A heart can no more be forced to love than a stomach can be forced to digest food by persuasion.
