Abortion is love

[Losty]

@CL- You're not understanding what I am saying. In the incidence where someone you love is trying to kill a stranger. If you defend that stranger at the cost of your loved one's life, you have valued the life of the stranger over your loved one. You wouldn't be wrong to do that, it makes sense to value the lives of innocent people over the lives of murderers or attemptive murderers. But I think you once said that it's not okay to end one life to save another one and now you're saying it is.

I see it differently, Losty. I see self defense as justice, not as saying one life is more important than the other life. 

As for your last part, I said "an innocent life." I don't think it's right to kill one innocent person to save another innocent person. Let's say you're in the military and a group of terrorists captured you and your fellow soldier. As a way to torture you, they hold a gun up to your head and say, "kill your partner, otherwise we kill you." This stuff actually happens. Objectively speaking, I still think it would be wrong to kill your partner. I wouldn't cast any judgement on you because of the extremely difficult/impossible position you were in, though.

I assume you wouldn't cast judgement at all right?

It looks like you are saying that innocent lives are more valuable than those lives of people who are not innocent. Sure...you can call it justice if you want to, but it makes no sense to say you're justified in taking a person's life if that person's life is equal to yours in value. Innocent or not, if you justify killing a person then you don't value their life as much as whomever you are protecting them from.

Personally, I don't think it would be morally wrong to kill someone under duress, but I don't think I could do it.
