Barack Obama on Criminalizing Abortion

Barack Obama takes another swing at the abortion question during ABC News' "This Week" program on Sunday.

Obama's statement doesn't think the best way to reduce child killing in the womb is to criminalize it. He states,

I don't think that the government criminalizing the choices that families make is the best answer for reducing abortions.

Imagine the political suicide of analogous statements that exemplify the absurdity of Obama's position:

I don't think that the government criminalizing the choices that families make is the best answer for reducing murder.

I don't think that the government criminalizing the choices that families make is the best answer for child abuse.

In addition, Obama reveals that his method for determining whether or not a law is just relies on his perception of whether or not it will change social behavior. This stands in stark contrast to truly just laws that have as their foundation absolute principles (e.g., all men created equal ...).
