I do believe that a future generation is going to look back at us in horror the way we view slavery and The Holocaust for how callously we are treating unborn life. I also think that it is merely another symptom of our current societal ill, what we argue so much about, caused by the same diseased root, an immoral disrespect for human life. Much is said in sincerity and in snark about it from both sides of the political spectrum, but I do believe It all comes from the same place, and I don't know that politics, nor philosophy, nor religion have the power to alter it. While an infant does depend on the mother for nourishment and development it is as much a 'part of her body' as a leech is. Thats a rather crass way of putting it, but I believe the perspective is correct. The only question in abortion is what 'rights' are you respecting? The right of a mother to terminate her own offspring or the right of a baby to life? Whether you think either of those things is a 'right' in the first place is very dependent on your moral belief system. Just to indulge myself, if you believe that an infant has a right to life (or at least, a right to whatever life it is able to achieve in the womb) where is the line where that right ends? If the infant has a congenital defect where viability without extensive support is impossible, does the infant have the right to that too? Most people would say yes once he is born. But take that same scenario and apply it to the elderly with many comorbidities who are unable to support basic life functions without extensive support and most people agree that its better to 'let them go.' Of course these are passive processes vs the active process of abortion. As a healthcare provider I want no part of actively trying to end life, but I have little trouble with letting nature take its course. That is the principle that governs me personally (i.e. the old 'thou shalt not kill'), but it is an interesting thought. Yes, it's improvement, but it's Blaine Gabbert 2012 level improvement. - Pirkster The Home Hypnotist! Media on the Brain Link! Quote:Peyton must store oxygen in that forehead of his. No way I'd still be alive after all that choking. |
