Why? "Pro-Choice" is simply a propaganda term to soften "pro-abortion". Abortionism is driven by the belief that a certain category of human persons is actually NOT human in any meaningful sense, nor worthy of protection. Why would abortionists object to any destruction of non-persons?
I have as much common ground with Abortionists as I have with National Socialists or Communists.
Kill / let live. Allow killing / prevent killing.
Commom ground?
It’s difficult to have “common ground” when one side of the debate refuses to be intellectually honest.
There is no common ground on abortion. NONE!!!!
The Issue is Binary
It is either a Libertarian issue
— Your business is none of my business
— unless You force your will on Me
— Free Will, etc.
Or
It is Murder
Common Ground does not exist.
If someone makes a case for “Moderation”
they are either confused or lying
Okay. Let’s start our search for common ground. Here’s my starting point: the unborn is a human life.
Agreed?
The bigger the crime, the more invisible...
There are at least 45+ million women and their doctors, who should by rights be in prison or executed, walking among us. Every women who has had an abortion should be required at least 20 year prison time, hard labor (no pun intended).
But instead, this very site celebrates these criminals because they conveniently “saw the light” after murdering their children, and get to go on book tours and do the lecture circuits and have the kind of attention and praise they would never get changing diapers and doing laundry...
Let me repeat: the Free Republic website celebrates the murderers of children.
I get sick and disgusted every time I read one of those threads about these “brave women”, etc.
So what hope do we have?
This is a wrong use of "good conscience." Abortion proponents may sincerely believe they are right - although their irrational reaction to opposition raises doubts about this - but they are following a wrongly-formed conscience, not a good conscience.
Where was the barf alert?
What fellowship hath Christ with Belial?
To paraphrase, what fellowship hath Life with Death?
No. No there can’t be common ground on murdering children. Anyone who thinks there can be is delusional.
How do you find common ground with those who agree with, promote and sell Murder?
I conclude no such thing.
The only single common ground there is on abortion should be that we need to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, and that is it.
After conceiving then it is the most black and white issue there ever could be, how could you find common ground with the choice of life or death??
What does she me by should? To my memory they have at every instance. Besides that let me add my 'amen' the the thread and state that there can be no compromise between life and death as there can be no compromise between good and evil
An alive baby.
A dead baby.
Nope, no common ground there.
Maybe it is because it was mostly black women that had these late term abortions and according to the pro abortion party's hero Margaret Sangar, abortion was pushed onto exactly that constituency, black women.
However, there must be room on the pro-life side for differences of opinion on how best to save the unborn.
In particular, there needs to be room for an approach that starts by saving some lives, as opposed to the approach that says "take no action which does not save them all".
Hypothetical question: If you could sign a decree tomorrow which would end 95 percent of abortions in this country, while still leaving open the possibility that the other five percent could be ended in future, would you do it?
Either taking an innocent human life is wrong or else it isn’t. It’s kind of hard to imagine where a common-ground between those two points would lie.
