I once read a great book called "No Compromise". In fact, it's on my bookshelf.

Compromise is only acceptable for certain things. The compromises you seem to endorse - you can kill babies if they're only so old, you can kill babies if they're the result of incest, you can kill babies if their father is a rapist - are not acceptable. Killing the unborn, in any case when the mother will not die without it, is murder. You can't compromise on murder.

No Compromise. Yet certain things are compromisable? Hmmm. Can you describe what can be compromised and what cannot be?

"You can't compromise on murder."

Yes. That is always the response. But relying on that platitude gets us nowhere. Babies are still being torn limb from limb because of it.

I'm not suggesting anyone compromise our morals or acceptance of murder. I'm saying we must compromise in terms of strategy only. Refusing to fight by the rules of reality - winning votes - means forsaking the progress that could be made if we were pragmatic.

We have to stop being so heavenly minded, we're no earthly good.

I have company - back in a bit.

Killing the unborn, in any case when the mother will not die without it, is murder. You can't compromise on murder.

In which case I suppose you would support pressing murder charges against all women who've had abortions where their lives were not in danger. And the doctors and medical assistants as well.
Furthermore we should have trials to determine if the Doctor was correct to say the woman's life was unquestionably in danger.
Murder is murder.
