[Troubleshooter]

Part of the problem with the whole governance issue is that the gov't isn't supposed to do what is popular, but what is right. People keep losing track of that point.

What is necessary at this point is for an arbitrary time in the pregnancy to be assigned as the 'do not abort' point. Any time after that, barring health risks, it should be against the law to abort. Any time before that it should be legal, or possibly have a modified penalty of some sort.

The only way to assess that point in time is based on physiological evidence as to when the point of viability, the ability to maintain basic life functions, is reached. The government's responsibility is to pretects its current citizens and insure that it has more in the future.

Now, the only way that that is going to happen is if some legislator actually has the ethical capability to actually look at the issue in the right light, as an ethical issue, not an issue to generate more votes.

That concludes today's political fantasy...
