Thanks for explaining your position more clearly. The woman that aborts her child is no threat to me personally. However, the atmosphere that allows abortion to continue in this country is a threat to our very existence as a nation. It is demeans the value of life.
Both the murder of the girl and the abortion are evil.
Your argument is flawed. Evil is NOT determined by the threat to society. Your argument is like saying, a man that sexually abuses his daugther is bad but it isn’t the same as when a stranger kidnaps and rapes a girl. The father isn’t a danger to society at large BUT he is still evil.
A woman that has an abortion is still a murderer. She may never pick up a gun and shoot another person but she has murdered her child.
“Your argument is flawed. Evil is NOT determined by the threat to society.”
I never said that evil is determined by the threat to society. (Good grief, I’m an independent individualist and regard all “social” views as collectivist and anti-human.)
The threat is only to individuals within a society, and no woman who has an abortion is such a threat. She’s to be pitied, not condemned. Funny, it is always “Christians” who are first to condemn such women. So much for mercy and forgiveness, heh!?
Now what do you mean by, “the atmosphere that allows abortion to continue in this country?” Do you think it is laws?
The atmosphere that allows abortions to continue is the atmosphere that teaches that individuals are not responsible for thier own lives and choices, that all they have to do is obey some set of rules and regulations, some government’s or some God’s, and everything is OK. They don’t need to find out what the truth is, what being a human being really is, why pleasure can never be an end in itself, that everything in life of value has to be earned, and whatever one has in life that is not earned will ultimately destroy them.
Sorry, your argument is wrong. Find some way for the government to use force to prevent women from having abortions, and you’ll only force women to perform that evil in much more devastating ways. You cannot make people righteous by law, Honey.
