No...

Look, although I am new to this site, I am quite an old hand at on line debating.

I am not trying to instigate anger. I believe this line of reasoning does not actually lead to a prochoice or a prolife outcome.

I am asking a serious question, looking for a serious answer.


Clearly, we all are opposed to murder. But that does not tell us much. Murder is illegal killing. In a society where infanticide is legal, it would no longer be murder. However, we would still find it morally repugnant.

So, a simple question - why? Why do we find it morally repugnant?

I am sorry that this question bothers you guys - my wife had the same reaction. However, sometimes asking seemingly ridiculous questions can lead to interesting lines of thought.

If you cannot handle this question, just don't respond. However, if you are willing to engage in a little self-analysis, then I think you will find this discussion intellectually fruitful.


Do all things with love.
