Stop calling me a liar, Madame. These vindictive posts of yours have become worse than tiresome. Angel is not the topic of this thread; the topic is abortion. The contretemps surrounding weaver2's post was resolved civilly between her and me three days ago. Move on.
I'll wager the Anasazi lived in a moral universe. Let us know once you've processed the experience.
You're right on the button, citizen.
A License to Kill
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?
On the contrary, I believe I've acquitted myself of my burden of proof more than adequately to the satisfaction of any reasonable person. The morality I've put forward is grounded in evolutionary biology and issues in the moral principle that taking a human life for any other reason than defense of human life is immoral. That's irrefutable except by the standards of a-morality. That talking-point pro0choices refuse to acknowledge the reasonableness of my view is not surprising since this political camp is not interested in morality at all.
