Regarding Abortion I would like to point out that the opposition to Pro-life is not Pro-abortion, it is Pro-choice. According to Pro-life, life begins at conception. But, just because an organism lives, it does not immediately mean that it has a heart and a brain, or even a soul.
But, let’s say that it does. Consider the surprisingly all too common spontaneous miscarriage. It is also, by definition, an abortion. Perhaps we should expect the government to do something about unplanned abortions. We could petition for mandated funeral services or force women before a tribunal, or criminal court, to determine if they contributed to a potentially negligent loss of life.
If the government can force a woman to carry an unwanted child to term perhaps they can also do something to force parents to love that child. For physical or mental disabilities, we should not sleep until a government that forces a woman or couple to knowingly enter a life of pain and sacrifice, be mandated to more adequately assist those families. Or, perhaps it does not matter what happens to those lives as long as they are forced to exist.
