“Sacrificing your life for someone else’s is a highly noble act. However I don’t think anyone has the right to make that compulsory.”
That isn’t the issue. The issue is MURDERING A BABY. Remember, people die all the time. Since The Fall that has been our appointed lot. What has not been appointed to us is the right to murder innocent people. An adult dying is sad. A baby being murdered is MURDER. It’s not about compelling anyone to die. It’s about recognizing no one has the right to MURDER A BABY.
Actually it is the issue. Everyone has a right to protect themselves from being killed by someone else, even if the threat is unintentional. Self defense is not murder. In the end we are making a choice here, in placing one life over another. You are obviously choosing the baby’s life as being of greater importance. I tend to agree, but since it’s not my life that is at risk I don’t feel qualified to make that decision for someone else.
