This is the same ideology the NAZI's used to slaughter the jews and the Americans used to slaughter the Indians. I would suggest that it is the ideology that is responsible for more evil in the world than any other. It is an ideology I will not embrace....but you democrats and republicans are more than happy to embrace it when it suits your desires. Trust me, there are plenty of people I would love to see put to death....but I do not let my emotions rule me(or at least I try not too).
Okay, no. I should preface by saying I did not say I support capital punishment, because I don't.
Abortion has nothing to do with "Human X is better than human Y", rather that the rights of one do trump those of the other. This is not a foreign concept. It's the reason why killing someone else in a situation where such defense is actually necessary not to die is usually acceptable. Their right to live and act does not extend over your right to live in that case. And way to go with Godwin's law. Firstly, the Nazi's didn't even see Jews as beings with any rights whatsoever, and Native Americans, weren't exactly seen as being comparable to whites. Tell me how this is comparable to getting an abortion?
