I've seen so many prolifers use the word murder in reference to abortion. Even though the argument of when a fetus deserves full fledged human rights is as of yet unresolved, let's pretend that we've decided that life begins at conception and abortion is murder. Not what i believe, but let's pretend.
- Don't we as a society condone murder for the right reasons every day? War is cool, right. We can murder innocents and soldiers alike if it is in our country's best interests. I've done no study, but i think the assumption of overlap between the prowar and prolife demographics would probably hold true. We murder criminals, we make all kinds of exceptions when it comes to the sanctity of life.
Why is abortion unacceptable? It arguably benefits society to not have a bunch of impoverished, unwanted children running around growing up angry. Why is this not acceptable?
