“Your argument is flawed. Evil is NOT determined by the threat to society.”
I never said that evil is determined by the threat to society. (Good grief, I’m an independent individualist and regard all “social” views as collectivist and anti-human.)
The threat is only to individuals within a society, and no woman who has an abortion is such a threat. She’s to be pitied, not condemned. Funny, it is always “Christians” who are first to condemn such women. So much for mercy and forgiveness, heh!?
Now what do you mean by, “the atmosphere that allows abortion to continue in this country?” Do you think it is laws?
The atmosphere that allows abortions to continue is the atmosphere that teaches that individuals are not responsible for thier own lives and choices, that all they have to do is obey some set of rules and regulations, some government’s or some God’s, and everything is OK. They don’t need to find out what the truth is, what being a human being really is, why pleasure can never be an end in itself, that everything in life of value has to be earned, and whatever one has in life that is not earned will ultimately destroy them.
Sorry, your argument is wrong. Find some way for the government to use force to prevent women from having abortions, and you’ll only force women to perform that evil in much more devastating ways. You cannot make people righteous by law, Honey.

WOW. Really dont’ know where to begin.
Just because you have mercy and forgiveness does not mean you cover up the truth. If a woman seeks forgiveness in the church, she will find it.
The woman that runs our crisis pregnancy center had several abortions before she found out the truth. She is a close friend of mine.
The atmosphere that I speak of is the devaluation of life. Yes the legalization of abortion added greatly to this problem.
Sorry YOUR argument is wrong. You are basically saying if the government outlaws something people will still do it so what’s the point. Well I like the laws against rape, murder, theft etc. They protect our individual right. The rights of unborn children are being trampled because abortion is legal.
My goal is not to make anyone righteous by the law. My goal is to protect the rights of EVERY individual in our society especially the most vunerable among us.
You obviously believe that the imagined “right of privacy” to the woman trumps the REAL natural God given right of life of the unborn child. Pathetic!
Sophistic gobbledygook designed to do nothing but sooth a guilty conscience. I doubt that it works very well for that or you wouldn't argue the issue.
No one is condemning the women they are condemning that action. The fact that you falsely make Christians the only target of your accusation reveals how low-grade your intellectual processes are. Either that or it's just plain old bigotry.
If your argument holds even an ounce of validity that would work just as well as what you said. You are a veritable font of secular humanist moral relativism. And poorly thought out too.
