The object of having a society which is directed at life rather than death would be a fine one.

Having a world in which noone feels driven to have an abortion rather than give birth to the baby would be wonderful.

But that isn't going to be brought about magically just by making it harder for women to have abortions. In fact, ity couild well mean in increase in the numbner of abortions - especially in the context of other policies which can be expected to make it harder than ever to be poor, with the only alternative to that being to desperately hold on to insecure jobs.

And I do not think that it is conceivable to move a society towards an attitude which values every living person, without turning away from state killing of all kinds.

I think a lot of people are in entrenched positions with ill-assorted package-deal policies which they have fallen into the way of accepting.

The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. And the friend of my enemy is not necessarily my enemy.
