Ok so your first sentence was:
“I’m advocating that it shouldn’t be legal, period. So, in that situation, nobody is going to call the woman a murderer, because there wouldn’t be a murder, unless she went to one of those “back-alley” clinics the Dems love to remind us about.”
And your last sentence was:
“Not that her opinion doesn’t matter at all, just that her opinion doesn’t give her the right to murder another human being.”
So in reality, right now, if a girl gets raped, becomes pregnant, and has an abortion she is, in your opinion, a murderer, no?
I’m not going to go on with this because we simply hold a difference of opinion with regards to this small portion of the abortion issue. We probably agree on 95% of the issue or more, but I just couldn’t tell a woman pregnant as a result of rape that she had to have the baby, and you clearly could. Thats fine, I would never allow you to do it with my daughter, but if you could do that with yours then that is your perogative. And I’m certainly not blindly functioning on emotion...but I’m not a Vulcan either. I dont think that the details of life are immaterial at all...they are part of what makes life, life. The scenario we are discussing is rotten, its a bad situation, and I dont believe I hold the monopoly on what is the best solution in every such situation. But I dont believe you do either.
“So in reality, right now, if a girl gets raped, becomes pregnant, and has an abortion she is, in your opinion, a murderer, no?”
Well, in my opinion, of course she is. I was just talking in the first sentence about a woman who was only considering an abortion, that’s why I say nobody would call the woman a murderer, since it hadn’t happened yet.
I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. For me, the principle at the heart of the issue can’t be compromised, no matter what the circumstance. The circumstances have to be immaterial, otherwise everyone and their mother will find a way to justify their own circumstances as being material as well. That’s one thing that humans are very good at: finding a rationalization to justify why the rules shouldn’t apply to them in particular.
