“My, my, the baby-killers are worried.”
Ever wonder why it is that the left loves to defend those that murder innocent people and conservatives stand up for those trying to protect us from murderers? The left is always coming down against cops, the military, capital punishment, etc and desperately defends terrorists, murderers and other violent criminals.
Just something that crosses my mind frequently.
Pretty simple, really, they are evil.
Psalm 52
1 Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man?
Why do you boast all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
2 Your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor,
you who practice deceit.
3 You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
My first answer was nearly facetious - actually, it IS a worldview problem, starting with some base assumptions.
You and I recognize the inherent value of the human being.
My view of this value comes from my belief that the human is the crowning glory of God’s creation, created in His image, for His glory, with eternal existance.
The human, therefore, has more value than the relatively shortlived society in which he lives.
He is also a Fallen sinner that is responsible for his own choices.
On the left, a human is simply an evolved animal, here by accident, who lives about 70-odd years, in a society that transcends his existance, therefore the society is far more important than the individual. Apply this to abortion, euthenasia, etc - people who can’t add to society are worthless.
Humans are basically good creatures that would be perfect if the society in which they lived were perfect. On the flip side, any bad behavior they exhibit is simply a response to a failing in society, and not their individual fault.
Any attempt to punish the individual for behavior that society caused him to exhibit is wrong - society needs to be corrected, not the individual.
