A different moral universe

Susie Allanson: Abortion, the dividing lines

The author works in an abortion facility. Two quotes and my comments:

"For a moment I despaired that women would ever be accepted as adults capable of making moral decisions."

Well, duh! Women who endorse abortion haven't even grasped basic playground morality like, "Pick on somebody your own size." Most of us have mastered this by the time we've been in kindergarten a couple of weeks. How can we view women who never mastered kindergarten-level ethics as capable of making mature moral decisions?

And this doesn't even take us into the dynamics of pregnancy and how abortion facilities and the abortion lobby have turned normal pregnancy ambivalence into a cash cow and political gold mine.

"Unlike Bolt, who apparently lives in a parallel universe where women and doctors are immoral and can't be trusted, I live in a world where doctors and other health professionals must abide by legal, ethical and professional obligations such as duty of care and providing accurate information."

Excuse me? It's the prolife world where women and doctors adhere to morality. If the women you cared for, and the doctors you worked for, were moral and trustworthy, they'd not be involved in abortion. Another no-brainer.

If Ms. Allanson is right, if abortion is "moral," then might really does make right and love has no place in the world. And who would want to live in a world like that?

Evidently Ms. Allanson and her co-workers. God help us.

L, do you really want a world where might makes right and love has no place?

I want to live in a world in which abortion is both moral and legal -- which you think is the same thing. So, yes.

Yeah, a world in which abortion is moral is a world in which might really does make right and love has no place.

Seems sort of sad to me.
