Do the benefits outweigh the risks? The price of state education? Do we want epidemics of preventable diseases?
I honestly think large schools are part of the problem as well. Just COLDS and Flu bugs reach epidemic proportions with so many hundreds of kids and adults crammed together. I don't think that everyone should be homeschooled (which I was by the way) but I do think schools should be smaller and more community based. Of course then critics would say "But how will we continue our football programs!!!".
Should a woman be prosecuted for having an abortion? (I'm really asking if abortion should be illegal.)
Were they when abortion was illegal?

Killing babies should be illegal and yes aggressively prosecuted.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves

Indeed. Urbanization causes great problems from health to sanitation to food and water supplies that put great strains on natural resources and public health.

Jeffrey developed pneumonia 3x in his preschool year, and missed a total of 6 weeks of school due to illness. It was ridiculous--and frightening. His pediatrician agreed that it was directly related to starting school. It was part of what made us decide to homeschool him. We have gradually reintroduced him to the public sharing of viruses with careful hygiene instructions and a stronger immune system.
For people with chronic illnesses or lowered immune systems, having people around who don't have their kids immunized can not only be a hassle--it can be costly or deadly. To be fair, though, there's probably a much larger group of the immunized who simply aren't considerate enough to stay away from others when they're sick or diligent enough to practice good hygiene.
I don't like the idea of taking away personal liberties, but I really struggle on this topic. I don't appreciate the idea of someone endangering my son because they don't want to be immunized. However, I do understand someone refusing vaccines because they truly feel they are harmful to their children.

Timmy... the problem with your line of questioning isn't generally the question as much as the question of whether or not you truly think they way you present yourself to think. If so... you scare me sometimes.
I'll answer your question... largely because I can't stand it when people want me to qualify WHY I'm asking a question before they answer. I also already expect where you're going from here but I will refrain from delving into that. I'll answer and then let you bring the expected retort and I'll deal with it then.

No... abortion should not be legal.
Retort? I haven't figured out how to retort yet. Can you help me out? What were you expecting?
