Abortion: 10 years as an atheist and I still don't get it

[tackattack]

@Gae Bolga I am engaging in introspection and conversation. I, like you, would advise someone, only if asked and acknowledging my own biases. So let's give it the same weight as the castle doctrine. If it's being done to you, then you have the right to defend your body. If it is for your own self-defense then it is justifiable. If it was entirely uncontrollable circumstance, then it was accidental.  If it was accidental, then legally and morally, if you had preventable ways to prevent the death you have an obligation to or it was reckless/negligent. If it was intentional, and didn't fall in the above, then it was murder.

Then there we have it, any and every abortion finds equal legal and moral justification under the uterine castle doctrine.

The castle doctrine doesn't state that you can only kill the fucker if you run out of other options. It doesn't require that you -know- anything about the person or their intentions, and it doesn't matter whether or not the person was "accidentally" trying to gain entry.

Even as you claim to accept this parity, you seek to add restrictions to the one not imposed on the other.

Castle laws also, do not provide civil immunity for wrongful death and have a much lower burden of proof. While they are not criminal, the potential father/grand parents would have rights for a civil wrongful death claim.


btw, I think this thread is too fast for me to keep up while at work, I'll check back tonight.
