Trying to turn yesterday’s mass shooting into a discussion on abortion will probably not have the desired effect. In fact, many will find it reprehensible.
Which is why I qualified the reason for starting the thread (which no one is forced to engage in, btw): deaths of innocents that occur one at a time versus deaths of innocents that occur all at once.
Both are terrifying and wrong and repulsive. Right now, one of these categories shocks us—and the other doesn’t.
Yeah, but the general devaluation of life that permeates society is instructive.
The mass shooting was a horrible tragedy for the victims, their families, their friends, and their whole community.
Now is not the time to pile on with political agendas — whether it’s about gun control, abortions, or illegal aliens.
I don’t find it reprehensible to be having this discussion at all. In fact, I think the two topics (yesterday’s slaughter and the ongoing slaughter of abortion) are morally equivalent.
What’s the difference between gunning down a five year old & dimembering a 16 week baby? Nothing.
By your posts, I’m inclined to think you DO see a difference. Am I wrong?
