Ding, Ding! Round Three...

To drag this argument out further...

In pointing out that the source of the abortion statistic is a self-proclaimed 26-year-old Christian from Texas, I am noting that she has no credibility because she does not cite from where this statistic comes nor does she give any clue how she came up with this number. Regarding the "Christian" part, I'm just saying that her statistic is not without bias. She makes it clear on her blog that she is anti-abortion.

By saying that it is a moral issue, I mean it is a personal moral issue. It does not cross into the realm of a universal morality since technically (both medically and legally), no "person" is being killed. I said that I personally am against it. It goes against my own personal morals, even as an atheist/agnostic/Buddhist. But who am I to judge someone else's personal moral decision?

The death penalty and abortion are two entirely different issues. In one, a real "person" is killed. In the other, a group of cells that haven't reached person status is killed. If you are against abortion, as many conservatives are, how can you support the death penalty, as many conservatives do? In conservative logic, both are taking a life. How is one "God-created" life different from the other? Did God give you or anyone permission to take a life for whatever reason?

Your right to privacy does not give you permission to kill your neighbor, unless of course for some reason your neighbor is a group of undefined cells living inside your body. By you killing your neighbor, you are violating his preexisting rights, hence the reason why it is against the law and morality.

The problem with conservatives is just this, "good morals." Whose to judge what are good morals? There may be certain morals that are universally accepted but there are more that are not. Why do conservatives have to force their own opinions and beliefs on everyone else? What happened to freedom? The conservative view of freedom is you can do anything you want, as long as it doesn't go against what I believe in. What kind of subjective freedom is that?
