Abortions and Vascetomies
An argument from a Facebook friend I am hearing on social media these days:
“…I don't believe that I can dictate what a woman does with her body against her will. I've said before, if you are truly against abortion, why not give reversable vasectomies to all male children? That would solve the issue instantly and in all forms. But it seems so barbaric to take such forceful action to a person's body against their will, even if it for the greater good…”
Some background on the argument can be found at this Newsweek Article.
My response:
Perhaps this analogy will help. If Fred kills Steve, we hold Fred accountable for his crime. We do not say that we should have given Steve’s Dad a vasectomy to prevent Steve from being born because then the murder could not occur. Abortion is murder.
