The alternative is not optimal, but he is not pushing abortion on demand.
In past discussions, I heard that "selfishness is okay." Where does that come from? I suspect it comes from a society that promotes individual liberty. The logic of the discussion pretty much went like this:
Selfishness is not illegal.
Therefore, selfishness is not bad.
Using the same logic, it would follow:
Abortion is not illegal.
Therefore, abortion is not bad.
Our problem is that we buy in to this obvious fallacy without question. I say, "Abortion is evil. Abortion has always been evil. Abortion will always be evil."
Accepting all abortion for the allowance of a few "exceptions" never makes the absolute evil of abortion become acceptable. We are now nearing 60,000,000 lost souls to abortion since Roe v Wade. This does not count the struggles of those suffering after abortion.
There are rare cases when actions must be taken to save the life of the mother. The direct intent is NOT the killing of the unborn child she carries. In those rare cases, the Hippocratic Oath must be followed NOT dismissed. Doctors must strive to save both mother and child.
The logic of "selfishness is okay" above falls short for a complete thought process. Liberty has its limits. Do as you will, until it infringes on the rights of others. My liberal friends will jump up at this point to demand that abortion must be retained for just that very reason. Emotion blocks the full conversation from continuing. A world without abortion infringes on their "right" to discard the unborn without question. Reality bespeaks more. The reality of the separate individual human being that is discarded like trash.
America, we all have intrinsic value. We are all created in the image of God. The current predicament in our society reflects a continuing example of turning from God. It is time we turn around.
