Coming Up For Air
Mar. 31st, 2016 11:36 amLife has been a bit hectic this week due to work and Rotary commitments, and so postings have been light.
I note that Donald Trump, in a case of a stopped clock being right twice a day, said something about abortion. He said that if abortion is a criminal act, then the woman getting the abortion is a criminal. Now, to be clear, I'm in favor of a woman's right to choose and against the whole idea of criminalizing abortion. However, I can't fault Trump's logic.
If abortion is a criminal act, then the woman getting the abortion is a criminal. Anti-abortion politicians, aware that saying that would make them look even more jerkish than they do now, go through great mental gymnastics to not say that. Trump, who hasn't done much research on this (or other) issues merely stated what should be obvious.
