“Your obfuscation of plain English, in which murder only applies to the killing of another already born human”
The current law may regard murder as killing of another ALREADY born human. However, plain English and COMMON sense tells me that a preborn baby is a human being.
“so long as their practices are no direct threat to me, my property, or anyone else’s.”
The ‘practice’ of abortion is a direct threat to the baby that is killed. I have no desire to control anyone else’s life. However if their decisions are trampling the freedom’s of another then I have a moral obligation to oppose it. You may not want a child in the womb to have rights but they do. The rights come from God, the same place you got yours. The state is infringing on those rights with legal abortion.
“The rights come from God ...”
There can be no right to “have” anything. There is no such thing as a right to have something that must be provided by someone else; such a right would be the right to enslave others, who are forced to provide whatever it is such a supposed right is.
The right to life is not a right to have someone else provide it, it is a right to live by one’s own choices and efforts, not have it provided by someone else.
It does not matter where that right comes from, whether God, or the facts of reality, the nature of that right is the same. Perhaps you believe the right to life is the right to enslave others to provide you life. I do not, and regard such a view as the grossest immorality.
