Oh, but if one person kills another, it is our business.

The government exists to protect our lives.

It does not exist to protect our deaths.

A civilization does not kill its most vulnerable members and label it freedom.

I do not wish to live in that country of yours, where all are free to kill each other.

The difference though is that it’s a hearts and minds issue.

Aside from a few John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Charles Manson types, NOBODY in the US believes that killing another human being OUT OF THE WOMB in cold blood is anything but murder and nobody believes it’s “OK” to do so (death penalty and self-defense aside.)

Whereas, with abortion, about half the population doesn’t even believe it’s the taking of a human life. While that is wrong, it’s not the same.

Here is the argument I sometimes have troube with when I enter into this type of discussion. The baby’s heart beat can be detected at 21 days-— but it could not be sustained outside the womb.
Yet to me it is alive, but is that based solely on my faith?
That is the argument I get from those that do not share my faith.
