GUEST,John Hardly BS: Farewell to an anti-abortionist (273* d) RE: BS: Farewell to an anti-abortionist 13 Sep 03


Seems like excessive outrage and anger over a murderer simply because he expresses a view that snuffing the unborn is morally wrong. If he was any other murderer, most here would suggest we don empathy shoes and walk a mile so we might have a sense of the economic or social inequities that forced him into a life as a murderer. Instead, because he has the nerve to pass moral judgement on abortion, those who would otherwise dismiss captital punishment are suddenly contemplative -- and happy that at least this once they didn't have their way on that issue.

But what wasted anger -- after all, pragmatically speaking, his act was the equivalent of trying to stop the agricultural output of the USA by killing two farmers. The harvest of unborn is going to be statistically equal before and after Hill' foolish act. Hill's act won't diminish the snuffing one bit. Pro-choice wins both ways -- undimished snuffing and a villain to point to (and paint the pro-life side as).
