it’s actually one of the few times I’ve ever brought abortion into the discussion.
I’d been on a local thread trying to educate some very disgruntled Republicans who were leaning Obama merely because they hadn’t taken the time to educate themselves on his positions.
After explaining to them, in far less detail than I did on this thread it just PISSES ME OFF that ANYONE can think that partial birth abortion is ever necessary OR ACCEPTABLE.
But I’m not gonna get my shorts in a wad over throwing goats to lions and act like my concern is superior when we allow far more barbaric actions right here in this country.
1st of all, at least no children are present to watch them and “cheer them on”.
2nd of all, your line of reasoning seems to fit the way of the “justice system” these days - murder is so much worse than mere burglary, the hell with pursuing the “mere property-crime” miscreants. Your property, we don’t care. Only if you’re actually killed might we pursue the case.
That is not the way to pursue crime, by simply deciding which is the worst, and the hell with the rest.
I’d view this in absolutist terms, rather than the relativistic terms you’re espoousing.
