  • I don’t know that I really ought to be posting about this….

    Abortion provider George Tiller was murdered while ushering for his church yesterday morning.  Instead of analyzing the possible outcomes for the controversy because of this, I’d like to propose a solution to the problem.

    As I see it, there are two sides – those who think women should have the right to choose (pro-choice) and those who think that abortions should never happen (pro-life).  So here’s the fix to make everyone happy:

    Make (consensual) abortions completely legal.  This will make the pro-choice crowd happy.
    Convince every girl that she should never have an abortion.  This will make the pro-life crowd happy.

    So now every woman can choose whether or not to have an abortion, and every woman will choose to not have an abortion.  Both sides of the argument have what they want, and both think they’ve pulled one over on the idiots on the other side.  Now everyone can sleep safely at night and argue about something else.

    Too bad it will never work.
