If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Predictable - convenience and finance versus sanctity. Terrifying and contemptible. |

Utilitarian ethics versus classical ethics. The dialectical struggle between selecting the greater good for the most over the common good for all. |

I disagree with that article. People are inherently good...to the core. Only a small minority are sociopaths or truly "evil" It seems that this article sought to prove that human life has been devalued in today's society. Not true. Only a total pessimist or cynic could walk down that path. I trust human nature. |

Mmmmmmm, pie!

There have been right at 50 million abortions performed since 1973 in the US alone. If that doesn't devalue human life I don't know what does. |

Larry, I have been on all sides of this. I am myself adopted (thank you whoever you are) I also have been unfortunate enough to get a woman pregnant (20 years ago) who decided to have an abortion...It hurts me even now to think. Happily I am also a proud father. When people refer to the abortion issue I get a little defensive. I tried tp convince my (old) girlfriend to have the baby...but I was unable to sway her. In the end she did what she did. I understand that telling a woman to carry to term is not going to be a sure thing. Now try and *legislate* a woman's right to choose...and you'll always lose. Some people use statistics to illuminate...others to confuse. Do you think that before 1973 (Roe v Wade) that there were NO abortions? I bet you the rates were similar...just that women died in the process. I would bet you that 200 years ago it was the same. Women terminate their pregnancies in many ways...including suicide. 0 |
