You cannot settle an argument with an insane person. And it is folly to engage one in rational debate.
Abortion types call it a sacrament for a reason. That reason is not only to upset Christians. They call it that because to them, it is. You don’t discuss or debate that. All that accomplishes is giving them the power and authority to spread their faith and bring other insane people to rally to their cause.
Stop for a second and use the reductionist view.
You have a baby and you have people that want to kill it. Thats the bottom line when all the flowery and not so flowery language is stopped from clouding the issue.
It’s a baby. It is never going to be anything but a live baby or a dead baby. At any stage of development it is human life.
It does not matter an iota what pro death types think. It does not matter what they say. The above statement simply ‘is’. Like water IS wet. It’s not a debatable topic. It simply ‘is’.
WE are to blame for allowing any other point to be made by our side of this. We have spent decades trying to discuss and debate and find new and exciting ways to say the same words the death cult rejects every time. Folks, you are good people but see reality here. They D O - N O T - C A R E.
No words, now reason, no logic will get through to Abortion inc. They are a collective mindset. Recognize you are dealing with insane people and deal with them accordingly.
You are not going to get Charles Manson to change. Ted Bundy would not change. They are what they are. They just didn’t bring their victims to a semi medical clinic to off them. Think about Pro Aborts in those terms. Because they are an accurate reflection of what these people actually are and are doing.
You do not ‘discuss’ with that.
And that is why any pro-lifer engaged in a debate over abortion should stay away from discussing philosophy. Philosophy is a wishy-washy subject that anyone can use to justify any point of view.
Pro-aborts know that abortion kills a human being. That is why they push debates into discussions of philosophy rather than of science or morality. Pro-lifers should avoid falling into that trap.
Instead of falling for the philosophical discussion, pro-lifers should be putting pro-aborts on the defensive. Obviously, pro-aborts choose some arbitrary point at which they will concede that a baby is human because they have fallen for the line that the totality of women's rights is contained within the "right" to abortion. They consider the use of contraception (which requires a bit of forethought) as infringing on their right to have spontaneous sex any time they feel in the mood. By philosophically choosing arbitrary measures of humanity, they can go ahead and use abortion as primary birth control without feeling guilty about killing their babies.
There is a lot of stigma surrounding abortion; pro-aborts are now engaging in campaigns to attempt to reduce the stigma. Keep hammering them on the science, and they will keep feeling the pressure of stigma. If destroying human life doesn't bother them, being shunned does.
