Not sure how you arrive at your summary.
The law defines when a criminal act has taken place, which when proven suitable punishment is set.
So I am defining the law can get involved past 24 weeks abortion, where a baby can survive outside the womb, and if abortion is done at this point, penalties can be levied against the guilty.
A lot of people do not understand what the law is there for. It is simply to separate those who fall within the justice system and can be punished in some way and those who are innocent, and nothing can be done against them by the criminal justice system. The aim is to discourage certain behaviours, and separate out such individuals into either prison or community services or whatever is deemed appropriate.
Now the unfortunate thing is wherever you put the line someone will be innocent over the line, and guilty but appear to get away with it. But the law is to empower the society to enforce principles.
Some feel that to get involved at all is wrong, but that is simply abdication of responsibility.
I pointed out that "ban all / allow all" abortions is,
while a general rule, is not even sane
You stated as a fact not in evidence that a woman
"has a right".
The sudden assignment of rights to a person at a
certain age is as illusory as the sudden insertion of a
soul that some imagine. Whether either is sane, you decide.
Then there is thr arbitrarily determination of when
the law "should" get involved. Where do you get this "should"?
The proposed 24 week law me arbitrary and making it a law
doesn't make it right or wrong.
There's no need to tell me the function of law which btw
is substantially different in the USA and China.
Your use of the word "principles" is interesting. What principle is
upheld by setting a one minute after mindight time before
which any person can be deprived of life for any chosen reason?
