The Jew, The Unborn, and The Absurd

For me, the sum effect of this conversation was a demand upon my conscience to take a firm pro-life stance now and in the future. Abortion is a liberty issue. The pro-choice movement has effectively hijacked the concept of liberty and misapplied it to the mother’s capacity to kill her unborn child. In truth, liberty’s stake in the issue has to do with the arbitrary devaluing of human life to justify murder for personal gain. There is no rationalization for abortion that does not ultimately rely upon an arbitrary definition of human life. If we can define human life arbitrarily, then we can value it arbitrarily. And if we can value it arbitrarily, it has no actual value and lays subject to the whim of the strong. Under such a circumstance, it cannot be argued we live in a condition of liberty, for there is nothing barring anyone from arbitrarily defining us as non-human. Josef Goebbels once said, “Yes, [the Jew] is a man. But what sort of a man? The flea is also an animal!” If such logic can be used against the Jew, if it can be used against the unborn, it can be used against anyone. That is why we must demand our public policy be based upon sound reasoning and universal principles which provide incontrovertible definitions.

The concept that a pregnant mother’s body is her own is absurd.

By allowing copulation and conception - a woman has effectively *rented* her womb to a living occupant, for which she has the moral obligation to protect and preserve.

Anything else is conspiracy to commit murder.

An excellent commentary. I still cannot understand how people can demand that their “right” to be free of responsibility be upheld and believe that to be more important than the sovereign God given right for children to live.

Ther must be a Nuremberg judgement for all who demand the slaughter of innocents.

I think there is a reason they are calling so much attention to the abortion issue right now. They are trying the same old tired strategy with women that they always do because women are angry and beginning to defect to the right (and they are very afraid). Hammer away on the misogyny of the Obama administration and the male “feminists”/opportunists, you will split the abortion issue wide open (without even mentioning it) into a long overdue dialog centering on responsibility. This issue can blow up in the Democrats faces but you all are going about this the wrong way and are being played.
