How in God's name can the left reconcile their support for abortion on demand with their supposed outrage over pouring water in a terrorist's nose? The hypocrisy is stunning.

This is what, in logic, is called a false dilemma - One might as well say, "How can a person say they like lasagna when they obviously don't eat liver and onions."
ReplyDeleteThe most important question, in God's name, for those of Faith is, "Are we treating others as we would wish to be treated?"
Actually felt the need to jump in on this one. While comparing abortion and torture belief's can be seen as a false dilemma since they are obviously two separate things, if the moral standards by which the "the left" represent is supposed to remain along the same line in their universal thinking, then it can no longer be so.
ReplyDeleteDeath seems to me to be about as universal as it gets, seeing as how everything alive eventually isn't. The cause of death (i.e. blunt force trauma, heart attack, abortion) is irrelevant except to the motive behind it. A person dying of a heart attack while in Guantanamo is not worth examining on a moral level, unless of course the heart attack was induced due to various forms of torture. Then there's moral outrage. A baby dying in utero is not either unless the death has a motive behind it by another being. Therefore, the argument that torture and abortion should be held in the same standard of moral outrage is perfectly reasonable.
But then again, I have never been a soldier/prisoner of war/woman/pregnant woman/dying pregnant woman/pregnant soldier/ or a dying, female, pregnant soldier of war.
And in all honesty, thank God, and pray for the all the people who are.
Oh and just to be fair and balanced. Torture and abortion are possibly two of the worst things anybody can talk about, and to act like any of our opinions will change any of that is foolish, which makes the ol' golden rule as cited a couple posts up relevant.
ReplyDeleteGreat discussion there though by the way. I was just driving home earlier and wondering how my day could be any sunnier, HAHAHA.
Out.
