The abortion paradox

[Neo-Scholastic]

Also, why is unborn life so sacred, and already born life not so sacred? Do you support the death penalty?

Typical response from the morally confused. There is a difference between the punishment of the guilty versus slaughter of the innocent. That said I do not support the death penalty, for practical, not philosophical reasons.

Do you support social programs that feed and house people without means?

Yes.

Does every born child not deserve love?

Every child deserves to be loved. The first act of love is allowing it to live. Stop lying to yourself. Killing a child is not an act of mercy.

What if the unborn child is unloved, and the mother isn't willing to stop drinking and doing drugs while she's pregnant? Are you willing to take care of and love born people whose parents are unwilling?

Of course. Aren't you? Or are you saying that because you don't want to love and care for the unwanted children, they should be killed?

But there are such things as unwanted babies. There are. That's why so many born babies die every year. Neglect, abuse, disposal in dumpsters. Those babies are unwanted, obviously.

So your solution is to kill babies so they they won't be neglected. Is that mercy?

you don't have any right whatsoever to prevent someone from having an abortion, if an abortion is what someone wants.

Unless we have a moral obligation to very very young and vulnerable human beings.

Money is required to properly care for an infant. A lot of people don't have the money, and there's very little help out there for people without the money to do it. It's not "the love of money", it's the not having any money. Get it?

Therefore your solution is to kill all the problem children. The person who aborts to cut expenses greedily places a higher value on their own comfort that the life of another human being. Greed drives them to kill.

I think you should have the freedom to either have an abortion or not.

While you are at it, feel free to kill all the Jews, blacks and homosexuals. At one time they too were believed to be less than human. It's so easy to kill when you believe someone isn't really a person. But don't you dare turn away from the ultrasound while you jab scissors into the back of their tiny little skulls...

Where in the rancid bible does it say you have a moral obligation to what other people do with their own bodies?

You're talking about a process that removes the living body of one human from inside the body of another. Two bodies. Two lives. A truly moral choice would take both lives into consideration.
