New Iowa Law Restricts Abortion To Before Most Women Know They're Pregnant

[Rev. Rye]

So, ignore the consequences of the pro-birth agenda and full steam ahead. All right, then. Your compassion seems to be about as thin as my belief in gods.

And, as pointed out, abortion is not murder, no matter how much you wish it were.

I’m not talking about ignoring anything. And if you think that a paticular argument justifies killing another, then feel free to make it. It seems like we are just bouncing around from one bad reason, and people ignore what I say and move on.

As to murder, I can understand that distinction in regards to a legal matters. However what I am meaning by it is unjustified killing. This is beyond what is lawful, to what is right. The rights of human beings. Someone recently brought up the Spanish Inquisition. I don’t think that legal technicalities, would work there to justify it, then it does here.

I'd call the Spanish Inquisition an atrocity, but given the fact that it had the official approval of the king of Spain, it didn't count as murder. You just need to find other ways to criticise abortion that don't involve rendering the English language meaningless.

For instance, my preferred argument for keeping abortion legal is that making it illegal actually makes things a hell of a lot worse than they would have been if they were legally allowed to terminate their pregnancies; here's one doctor's experiences of what he had to deal with from women who didn't have the option of having someone who knew what they were doing perform it. Nowadays, it's actually somewhere in the ballpark of ten times less likely to kill the woman than actually giving birth. No, that shouldn't be even close to the only thing to consider when choosing whether to keep or abort it, but it does show how much safer it actually is now that it's legal. No need to use soda bottles to try and get it out now that we have doctors who can actually suck it out with a specially designed vacuum
