Casey Anthony Trial/Abortion

[extrmmxer]

Good thread to read here. Everyone explaining both pro and con on the issue. Lots of respect for each others points of view.

classic jury nullification, with a race card (an arrogant pro-prosecution biased black judge)

Don't use the power of the State to force your opinion on me or others, and I'll be cool with your thoughts on the issue.

This works fine with matters such as drug abuse; it does not work when we are speaking of crimes. For example, if you were of the opinion that slavery is not a crime and/or that blacks do not have rights, and attempted to enslave a black friend of mine, I am afraid I would feel obligated to force my opinion that they do have rights and are worthy of protection on you. In point of fact, those who are of the opinion that abortion is not a crime are already coercively forcing their opinion upon the offspring they kill.

Life OBVIOUSLY begins at conception.

It is blatantly identifiable.

Those who wish to identify another starting point are unable to do so.


I would propose that abortion be legal, yet with one small legal attachment.

The mother choosing to end that life would simultaneously subject herself to the death penalty.

When does life begin? 2 years old? 6 months into pregnancy? 7 days? Conception? What about sperm? Is that life?

There is no one correct answer to this question. Some define it differently than you do.

I remember swimming in my mother's cervix, so I suppose life starts before conception.

This isn't to side one way or the other, but I find it amusing that life can be seen as beginning at conception, yet the measurement of one's lifespan starts from birth.

I don't see how this has any correlation whatsoever, however, South Korea does count from time of inception, as when you are born you are 1 year-old.

As soon as all the media started covering this, I knew it was a set-up.

uhhh....did you miss the verdict? The child wasnt murdered.

Then how did she die? Someone is guilty, but we don't know who. Casey could have done it, it just could not be proved.

I call it "post-birth abortion".

+rep!

Besides the abortion issue, the blogoshpere is also bringing up the potentially divisive question of the legitimacy of the jury system. Reminds me of the whole electoral college issue, where minds are influenced to exchange traditional elements of the American justice system for another due to the perceived injustice of a particular instance under unpopular circumstances.
