Should we copy are friends on the Emerald Isle and ban Abortion cause it is murder?
To arbitrarily impose a law because one feels it is the moral thing to do is not facing up to the situation on the ground. Abortion is not murder, but the unlawful killing of an unborn infant. It is lawful in some cases where the life of the mother is at stake or the country one is in allows it. If one’s religion forbids it then it is always wrong for you. The problem with the “old” morality is it did not really come up with any realistic solution for unwanted babies. And as for the Irish having a better morality I don’t feel it is relevant to the abortion issue which is a global problem. Banning it does not solve the problem and instead makes women criminals, while the men go scot free of their responsibilities.
