Hey. EV.
Let me tell you very clearly why other Pro-Lifers seem so hell-bent on standing against your argument (and Keyes) of “recognize the unborn are persons are nothing!”, to the point of disregarding even those who are for overturning Roe v. Wade.
Let’s look at door #1:
1) The argument for overturning Roe v. Wade DOES NOT mean that pursuing your argument is no longer viable. By all means, your argument will only have more steam!
Now for door #2:
2) Pursuing your argument discounts any and all other measures at lessening abortions, including putting the issue out of the hands of the feds and into those of the states.
In other words, beyond door #2 lies this maxim: “Good has been made an enemy of Perfect.”
Even when ‘Good’ would be vastly preferable to the current situation we have now. Nope, can’t have it whatsoever...
I’m sorry, but this is what I keep hearing when you post.
EV: You want to overturn Roe v. Wade? HERESY! My way or the highway!
Even if your method has no chance of working right now. Even if your argument has a much better chance of changing the hearts and minds of the people (where this battle must be fought) once abortion is a state matter and not a federal matter. Nope, can’t have that.
In fact, my position is the only hope there is of ever overturning Roe vs. Wade.
The neglect of these indispensable principles by Christians, by the pro-life movement, by conservatives, by Republicans, is why it hasn’t been overturned already.
