[Psalm 73]

"...foolish and ineffective for the pro-life movement to only use the morality argument to people who don’t share their morals."

Who does not share the view that murder (being the taking of an innocent human life) is wrong?
If we do not argue that murder is a moral wrong, then why is murder wrong?

Because if we all got to kill the people we wanted to kill without consequence, then there would be no one left on the planet.

Especially after elections ;)

Alright, alright, if we're supposed to get all of the amoralists on our radar screen and shoot our pro-life missiles using weaponry they can understand, then, say, for every public service announcement on child abuse, we should feature a protagonist and an antagonist arguing about whether it's OK to beat a kid...then we'll have the child-defender say the magic line that will quietly win the argument:

"You know, whether you know it or not, we have skin just like those kids...we share that in common...and part of our humanness is our instinct to protect ourselves."

Most excellent questions.
