TexasFreedom
A True Doomsday Prepper
MaterialGeneral,
I haven't kept up, who are you referring in the posts above?
On topic, let's look at the history of "Might vs Right". Man has always been strongest and made women (the weak and undefended) do what the men wanted. "Women's Right", right-to-vote, all addressed that directly. About 100 years ago, child labor laws started showing up. Again, the weak and undefended. Before those was freedom of slaves and later followed civil rights. Our country has a history of looking for the 'innocent' and finding ways to shield them from abuse. When will these 'protections' extend to those conceived but yet to be born? The ultimate 'innocent'.
I see this 'movement' going in 2 directions. One group is focusing on saving the planet: animals, plants, environment, etc. The second group is looking at saving the preborn(*1). These two groups are polar opposites: they have no problem sacrificing the other for their cause. I recognize life as starting at conception. I personally think all this global warming nonsense is just that. Not that I go out of my way to pollute, but the laws we have are absolutely insane. Tree-huggers are crazy about saving every leaf, ant and squirrel. They have no problem aborting 70% of all black babies in the country, but just don't hurt that squirrel! Rarely do you find a person who is both a tree-hugger and pro-life. There are plenty who don't care about either, but rarely both.
(*1) Lots of people (including me sometimes) like to say 'unborn'. That term makes no sense. You can 'untie' your shoe: it was tied and you undid it. You can unhitch a wagon: it was hitched and you undid it. You are not taking away the 'birth' from a child that has already been born. That baby just has not yet been born, so preborn makes much more sense to me. Talking about the 'unborn' reminds of all these 'undead' TV shows & movies.
