No. In fact the article referred to "absolute moral values". There is a difference. This is referring to something so "self-evident" that it is a truth. Your question sets up a straw man because if a person answered yes, that person would have to believe we should outlaw swearing.
Truth, on the other hand, people have died for. The truth of freedom during the Revolutionary period and the truth against the immoral act of slavery during the civil war.
The truth about abortion is it is the taking of a human life.
I'm not in disagreement with that, although there are some very serious obstacles to doing that. Until that happens, all anyone honestly can say is "I'm personally opposed to abortion, but I can't impose my beliefs on anyone else."
Hits the nail right on the head. Unfortunately clergy of all demoninations ceased giving that message a long time ago and now the number of women who have had an abortion and those who were part of that decision, are now a critical voting mass. "and they wanting to justify themselves ....."
So is self defense.
Not all believe that abortion is murder. Others do.
That is a timeless truism. Today though, people don't like truth and wish to shape it according to their ever lowering selfish mores.
