It's not just their wishing to change the status quo that offends me, it is their ignorance of due process. They claim their is a person and that a person is being killed by abortion without objectively proing it beyond a reasonable doubt and there is obviously reasonable doubt at this point. That's why these anti-choicers simply lack civic virtue and are more interested in fmaking people more likely to convert to fundamentalism or catholicism by having the police enforce their theology than the public good....and abortion in history is mixed. Classical Civilizations usually favored it. Confucianism usually was supportive of it. Judaism was mixed, Christianity was mostly opposed, but there was always some dissent on abortion within the church, Islam was about the same as Christianity, the animists were mostly opposed as well as the ancient Persians. Hinduism and Buddhism were opposed at first, but they are begining to shift. The point is that there is no universal natural right for a fetus not be aborted because there is and always has been, and continues to be a reasonable doubt.
I'll try to refute this so-called "argument". Although it is hard to counter something that is baseless as this.
Why should trying to change the "status quo" so offending to you? What's wrong with wanting change?
Just because a human life hasn't reached a stage to satisfy your definition of life doesn't mean we have the right to discriminate against them and treat them as nothing important. That lacks civility, not my position.
You also lack civility by categorizing me as a fundamentalist who only wages this issue to turn people to catholicism. Sorry, but thats completely idiotic.
I believe in this because I respect the sanctity of life.
Confucianism-Wasn't in favor, just left it up to the parents. They had no position on it.
Judaism-Conservative elements opposed;Liberal elements said there was no soul in the first 40 days of the pregnancy.
Protestantism-90% opposed but there are fringe groups who support abortion rights
Buddism- Against
This is not an legal argument to be waged in a courtroom. It is a moral issue that is waged inside the hearts and minds of people. Its just wrong. Plain and simple. Should be wrong whether or not your religious or not.
