The Golden Rule is apparently not a New York value.

The driver did the very best thing for her by informing her by his example that she was making critically wrong decisions in her life. What could be more loving?

Wave goodbye to the Golden Rule!

Actually the Golden Rule requires a sound foundation moral standard by which you rightly decide what you would want done to you. Without which many immoral things may be justified. A suicidal person would kill another based upon a wrong idea of what he would have done to himself.

But here, the tow truck driver could reason that if he was going to make a wrong decision, then he would want someone to not enable him but correct him, even to not helping him out of a temporary situation so he could think. Of course, helping your enemy in such a situation of merely enabling him to drive home is a Christian response. But what if you knew the person was on his way to get an abortion?
