Why does one have to see something is wrong in order to believe that something is wrong? The murder of babies goes to the very heart of ‘right and wrong’.
The old saying..”seeing is believing”
Plus the fact that up until seeing they were told it was a clump of cells. Now they know it is a clump of cells...a clump of fully formed cells that are in the shape of a human baby.
You are being judgmental. At the time, Aquila was a college student and, like so many other youth, was still trying to identify himself beyond the family. Those college experiences made an impression that not only remained with him for the rest of his life but also catapulted him into a definitive position on life.
I think there is the matter of perspective that you seem to miss -this in addition to the knowledge that men are imperfect.
I would agree with you IF all men possessed a well formed conscience and were not susceptible to the lies and temptations that evil presents.
However, the reality, as evidenced by the many abortion advocates strongly implies your assertion false.
One can not oppose and eradicate the evil in men unless one appreciates what evil does to men -in some cases, blinding them in thought until in sight evil is recognized for what it is.
Because before the image/event many truly do not think of it as a baby. That is when you are raised hearing that its ok for the 1st trimester, so so for the second and bad for the third, as I was, you believe what you are told in the home.
Its very nebulous and you don’t think of it truly as a baby, the “mass-o-cells” logic holds sway. And there is reason and debate.
Then, if you are like me, one day on a business trip to CA you see a protestor holding a gruesome sign showing precisely what it is we are talking about.
In that moment all the BS you were told growing up vanishes, and is unable to return.
