The point is the morality of these kinds of things is pretty personal. Is a solider killing an enemy a murderer?? Hard to say, but it is something that he or she is going to have to deal with PERSONALLY. Same goes for eating meat and the same goes for that pregnant mother when she makes that personal decision.
Do you see where I am coming from here Jefferson?? | I see where you're coming from. I've ALWAYS seen where you're coming from.
And I disagree!
A soldier is facing a "kill or be killed" situation that is, like it or not, part of his required job. That's extremely different then murdering an unborn child.
An executioner who is "flipping the switch" on a convicted murderer is doing his part in the meting out of justice. Ending the life of a convicted murderer is a far cry from killing an unborn baby, is it not?
And the whole issues of eating meat? Come on... Apples and oranges, and you KNOW it, buddy.
Killing unborn babies is killing unborn babies - regardless of what you want to compare it to, or how you try to explain it away. |
