American Morality

Eric at Classical Values is discussing Clayton Cramers's piece on the prevalence of abortion before Roe. His conclusion about abortion is that it may actually be happening at a lower rate since Roe.

Clayton's most important point is his conclusion.

If you have to arrest and try your own citizens for a crime on a massive scale (as would be necessary to enforce a general ban on abortion), it is usually a bad indicator for the moral health of your society.

I wonder when we are going to apply this kind of thinking to drug prohibition? I look forward to a return of American morality.

Update:

David Hecht made this comment at Classical values:

"If we can't stop abortion when it's legal, we'll never stop it when it's illegal."

Words of wisdom.
