Looking back on traditional practice, it was treated as relatively minor infraction on the part of the woman, as the act seemed so illogical as to be imagined more crazy than criminal.

Spot on. And it's, once more, typical of the moral vacuum the man exists in.

His moral framework, such as it is, seems to be based on utilitarianism and pragmatism - which require no moral absolutes.

When the Daily Caller's Jamie Weinstein asked Trump if he would have become pro-life if that child had been a loser instead of a "total superstar," Trump replied: "Probably not, but I've never thought of it.

…the “never thought about it” is just as damning as the aborting of the “loser” child.

And yet it’s odd how pragmatism can come up with answers that are more “conservative” (however we need to ask, conserving what?) than religion.

The modern approach to suicide attempts is more akin to the older approach to abortion. The one who assists in it (except for a few sad modern exceptions) gets in deep criminal dutch. The one who attempts, becomes subject to civil law concerning sanity, at most.

I would think it should rightly be treated as a madness. Theologians could have a deeper insight, a madness caused by an acute loss of love, and as fundamentally illogical as suicide.
