Pregnant Smokers and Drinkers

Originally posted by ivanhoe

This thread is not about me, but about smoking and drinking pregnant women.

Actually it's about a proposal to have criminal laws restricting what a pregnant woman can do just like the laws thrown out in Roe v. Wade did. Therefore, an analysis of Roe v. Wade is directly on point. Care to give your opinion on Roe v. Wade and compare and contrast your position on those laws with your position on DoctorScribbles' proposed criminal laws against pregnant woman smoking and drinking?

Ask DoctorScribbles what punishment he would like to propose.

This is ridiculous.

Yes you certainly are, Ivanhoe.

Should women who smoke or drink while they are pregnant be subject to criminal penalty?

Yes. Such acts have an excellent chance of causing lifelong suffering and misery for the child.

In this argument would abortion be acceptable?

What acts of a parent don't?

Firing their divorce lawyers and reconciling?

Yes, in the viable/non-viable model, for there is no person that experiences a lifetime of suffering.

That's really cruel, esp. to the children of the poor divorce lawyers.

He already proposed crucifixion; do you think that would be a fitting penalty for having an abortion (it is child murder after all) if Roe v. Wade is overturned and states enact criminal laws banning abortion, Ivanhoe? I'm sure people like Darfius would have no problem nailing such a vicious killer to a telephone pole as an example to all the other sinners out there. Maybe we could expand the criminal law to "grave sins" like wearing a condom. Why we'd whip those heathens in line in no time with a few public executions and floggings! If it was good enough for Torquemada it should be good enough for you!

If you want to go Biblical - then stoning is the best method. It would certainly be an effective deterrent for any crime, be it one of passion or premeditation. Since the the abortionist is the one directly committing the murder, he should certainly be stoned first.

But whom will cast that first stone?

Stoning would be good, too: maybe we could gather up a mob of fundamentalists every week right before the 9 AM Mass for the executions in every town, hamlet and village in the good ole USA. That would put them in the proper frame of mind for readings of scripture like the Midianite Massacre. And it would build a good community feeling (for the survivors, of course).

The woman, of course, would have to be stoned too since she is contracting for the murder - much like John Gotti used to do. The husband, boyfriend, whatever would also be an accomplice and would deserve death, too. And any of her friends who said that getting the abortion was OK. And any relatives. And any politicians who oppose capital punishment for abortion. And ....................... It would also be a great economic boost; we'd have to revitalize our mining industry to supply the great masses of stones that would be required. The proposal has it all: building community, economic benefit and God's loving justice all rolled into one! I'm e-mailing Dick Cheney right now!
