Quote by: LOGAN  But an act of nature, as in a natural abortion, can not be compared to an act of "premeditation" in planning to take this innocent life. That would be like comparing someone that died of natural causes with someone carrying out a plan of murder, there is no difference. Morally, murder is murder in the eyes of God, despite what the laws of man declares. Logan |
I respect your right to that perspective. I do not recognize any "god", however, so from my perspective your argument makes no sense from a moral or legal standpoint.
I know people who have had pregnancies end in full term prenatal death for various reasons (cord accidents, maternal illness, injuries, etc). Now, obviously you can't predict that any given pregnancy will end in a prenatal death. However, it is also a fallacy to presuppose that every act of conception leads to the birth of a viable human infant.
Too, I am somewhat amazed (and this is not directed at Logan) that medical intervention into "God's workings" is frowned upon at the beginning of the life cycle, but is perfectly acceptable to prolong life anywhere else along that timeline. What's the difference? I can't justify those extremes (especially when espoused by the same individual).
