It gives me a stomachache to see that anyone would trash the American founders as you and others do. You are courting complete anarchy and the destruction of the nation.
Oh, please. You must run into a lot of tree branches riding around on that high horse.
The founding fathers were human, like us. They had some good ideas, and some bad ideas. They had some ideas that simply didn't pass the test of time. That's fine. No one is trashing the founding fathers. All we are saying is that society has changed, so our laws need to change with it. We certainly aren't saying that we need to get rid of laws altogehter, just change them.
However, there is a historical point to be made, of which you are obviously completely ignorant. Abortion, or really, infanticide, leaving a newborn out exposed to the elements to die a painful death, was a common practice in all the pagan cultures Christianity eventually supplanted in the West.
Those aren't the same thing.
