I don't know this guy from Adam, but I don't think he's saying he's morally superior to anyone. That's your slant on it, probably, imo, because you've shown to be militantly against religion. That's fine. The author may make sense to you b/c he/she's militantly against people threatening the right to kill fetuses. That's fine, too. But I fail to understand how you can say that this guy has no ability as the elected representative of his constituency to attempt to legislate criminal behavior. There isn't a single person on the planet able to live perfectly and justly and rightly and in accord with their neighbors on their own, and because of that society has been set up to regulate how people live together and interact with each other, in everything from murder laws to speed limits to campaign contributions. These regulations govern what society has deemed expected behavior from anyone attempting to live in it.
As for this particular topic, you'd disagree that there's not a leap of logic from saying that it's homocide to kill a baby while inside the mother, but if the mother's trying to get rid of it, it's not actually a human? Whether or not you agree, the law of Ohio says that the fetus/baby/thing being killed is homocide if someone else does it, and he sponsored legislation saying that that should apply to mothers trying to kill it, as well.
"Right to abortion" is an inane and vague thing to bring up. There is no "right to abortion", and certainly not any majority of people who think it's ok. Now, if you say that the majority of people think that a 6-week-from-conception fetus isn't a human being, and therefore able to be removed like a cyst, I'll grant that. What I won't accept is anyone saying that there's a majority of people that think a 37-week-old fetus should be able to be aborted and that the mother has the "right" to do so. It's certainly illegal to do so.
Why are you making this about the people instead of the problem? What does Utah leading the country in porn have to do with anything? Is it legal?
