is abortion murder? should it be banned?

A PDA, after all, is not allowed to break in to the abortionist’s building and arrest him, because they are sworn to protect private property.

Why are they sworn to protect private property? Have they been hired by the abortionist? If not, then what stops the PDA from going in and killing everyone on the spot. Are you assuming a NAP based legal code?

Of course.

Free market means absolutely unconstrained free choice. If you sell the child, how is he making a free choice?

You are making the choice to relinquist your custodial stance in exchange for money.

In a free market, parents could likely sell their childre

What ??

I meant the right to raise their child. Right now adoption has a maximum price ceiling of $0. This cuts down the supply of babies for adoption who are instead either aborted or treated subpar after they are born.

I just thought of something: even if it were universally agreed that abortion is wrong, a PDA could not stop an abortionist from doing his work on his own property. A PDA, after all, is not allowed to break in to the abortionist’s building and arrest him, because they are sworn to protect private property.

IF abortion is murder, and I’m not saying it is, that’s an Argumentum Ad Consequentum. http://fallacyfiles.org/adconseq.html Again that’s if and only if we accept that abortion is murder. It doesn’t matter how practical it is to stop him, murder would be murder.

So no matter how you **cut it,[**my emphasis-Nerditarian] the only way to fight abortion is persuasion and evangelism, not force.

No need to be crude.
