A License to Kill
loVwrXp.jpg


Even if one is as staunchly pro-choice philosophically as I am, one must in good faith recognize and, without dissembling, concede,
that American legal culture has, for going on fifty years now, conferred upon women, necessarily and irrevocably, a license to kill.

And kill women have!
To the tune of 50 million and still counting....
A moral catastrophe of the first order.

The genie is out of the bottle, however.
There's no turning back from here, no retracing our steps to that moral crossroads and following the road not taken.

Short of the moral rehabilitation of an entire people, there's nothing to be done to stop the killing.

The only moral redemption left to us at this point is to be open and honest with ourselves and each other about this tragic state of affairs.

But who among us has the strength of character to face the truth about ourselves?

I don't like abortions, but I've come to live with abortions in the first trimester.

Now they're asking for abortions in the last trimester. They're going to pull a crying baby out of a woman and kill it. Not so sure I agree with that.

Here we go again with another Angel moral lesson. :roll:

Nobody’s pulling crying babies from their mothers and murdering them. An obscene notion.

The truth, Angel?

The truth is that you need to be born to be killed.

I also find it a bit odd that you call out women specifically here, as if no man ever played a part in the decision making to have an abortion, or performed an abortion.

I think this falls under the category of you do you, and we do we. This is a weird post for you.

Are you sure of this point, Nate? My intuition tells me that in order to be killed something merely has to be living.
 
Re: License to Kill

What would any thread be without its chorus of dismissal. Any counterargument lying around in the Land of Nod?

Flippitty bippitty

Why odd? The legal right of choice is the woman's, no? Besides, I myself, as stated up front in the OP, am staunchly pro-choice.

I think this falls under the category of you do you, and we do we.
I like the phraseology, but I don't grasp the meaning of the phrase. I welcome help here.

This is a weird post for you.
You think? I respect your opinions, and so would like to understand what you find weird about it. I'm both staunchly pro-choice and staunchly pro-life. I recognize the necessity of legal abortion and view its criminalization as a formula for social disaster at this stage. Still, I'm not pro-abortion -- I don't promote it.

Argument by emoji, internet chat's equivalent of the scholastic QED.

Dont you get tired of being laughed at?

Exactly.

No need to argue a false premise. You assume falsely that your moral beliefs are the correct ones for everyone, but as you know already, morals are purely subjective.

You’re spinning your wheels trying to convince everyone that you’re correct. You haven’t changed any minds yet, and there’s virtually no chance that you’ll have any success this time either.

Yours is the false premise. I've already shown, in two threads in the course of the last year, that morality is objective. Do you need the thread links?
 
Re: License to Kill

You mean like how some anti choicers "debate" via memes?
Maybe. I'm pro-choice, however, and I discuss the matter "via" rational discourse. How about you?

Not by the pseudobulbarini, no. I have the deepest compassion and patience for emotional incontinence.

Well you should. You have a lot of it. Lol
