There can be a spectrum in how much you care.
If somebody was trying to kill one of my kids, I would care enough to take drastic action. Somebody killing kids in Syria? It is not something I'm happy about, but it's not something I'm going to go to Syria to do anything about. It's not even something I would support sending our troops over to do something about. I care more about the welfare of our troops than I do about the residents of Syria. That's how it is.
At one point, I found out one of my old college buddies was down on his luck and living in a homeless shelter. I took him in and let him live with us until he got a job and moved out. Am I going to do that for a complete stranger? No. Does the fact that people are starving to death in the Third World mean that I will impoverish my own family in order to help some Third World kids to survive? No. Don't care that much. You can consider me a bad person for feeling that way, it won't bother me. I doubt you would impoverish your own kids for the benefit of kids in the Third World either.
Am I in favor of abortion? No.
Am I going to quit my job and spend my days demonstrating in front of abortion clinics to convince women to not have abortions? No. Are you?
the cery concept of ‘How much one cares’ is the direct result of grey area rationalization and little actual thought into this subject.
Subjects like this aren’t light reading. Their existential. That’s exactly why they should be given serious thought. That said... Now in 100% honesty, how much serious thought actually is required to conclude that abortion intentionally ends the life of a child? How much? What is the quantifiable spectrum one must consider between the states of alive and dead?
This is a complete no brainer for literally anyone with the most basic sense of morality. Of all potential deep subjects we could discuss as humans, there is nothing so basic as alive vs. dead. I simply do not see any logical or moral basis for entertaining degrees of either when there are no degrees of either. So that leaves people with ‘spectrums’ because they simply don’t care enough to apply 5 seconds of rational thought.
If people want to participate in mental exercises, they should study reductionism and category error. Because the issue at hand has nothing to do with women’s rights, choice or any of the other ‘spectrums’ of thought. And it is wholly category error to deal with anything but the core/sole issue.
