“Some politicians say that they’re ‘personally opposed’ to abortion, yet ‘pro-choice,’” says the 48-year-old professor of constitutional law and moral philosophy. “But we must ask: Is this a position that can survive the test of logical coherence? After all, if abortion is wrong, surely it is wrong because it is the unjust taking of the life of a developing human being.” He pauses to let that sink in and then launches another question: “And if one believes that, then what could possibly justify a regime of law that licenses so grave an injustice?”

Brilliant!! The 'personally opposed' position I always found stupid.

This argument is perfect!

The Culture of Death is trying to destroy thousands of years of Judeo-Christian values. A person can either be Pro-Life or Pro-Death -- there is no middle ground. To provide an opportunity for someone to do something that is morally wrong, is in itself morally wrong.
