Moral Compass
Author: Craig Ziemba Source: Neshoba Democrat (MS)
Title: MORAL COMPASS
Throughout the abortion debate over the actions of the Mississippi and South Dakota legislatures, it’s been interesting to see how quickly pro-abortionists have denounced anyone with a Judeo-Christian view of human life as religious extremists who project their belief system into politics.
This accusation highlights an important truth: Everyone has a belief system that shapes their world view. Call it what you will, religion, philosophy, or personal principle, each one of us has a code by which we answer the existential questions of why are we here, how we should live, and what our society should allow.

Just because you believe a woman has the right to an abortion doesn't mean you want every baby aborted. You just want women/couples to have damn choice. I've said it before and I will say it again because it needs to be repeated: IF YOU ARE AGAINST ABORTION THEN DON'T HAVE ONE. But, don't take that right away from someone else. If men could become pregant then I bet they would be singing a different tune about abortion. When one of Bush brats gets knocked up I like to see what he advises the little monster to do about her little monster. Espically if it's out of wedlock and/or he hates the father.

When people who have never been the target of ANY discrimination start whining that they are being discriminated against merely because they don't see their personal opinions on TV.
You want to know about religious persecution? It's a lot more than the harlot down the street getting an 3v1l abortion, buddy--try being fired from your job, having your kids taken away from you, being beaten in public for the crime of believing in a different religion, being raped, or your family being killed--not in any figurative sense, not in some spiritual sense, but in a very real, physical sense. That's religious persecution, not t3h h0rr0r of having to share a community with people who disagree with you about their personal genitals.
Waaah! There are sluts getting abortions! Waaah! Their baaaaad moraaaals are discriminating against my right to blanket the world in foam-padded Jesusy goodness!
Notice something here, something very clear: The author is absolutely not interested in civil discourse. The only morals he is willing to acknowledge are his own--everything else is "relativism," a term he abuses to mean whatever he wants. Not Christian? Waah, you're discriminating against him by your mere existence. I'm not saying that no Baptist EVER has, in real life, in a factual, absolute sense, been called a religious nut for taking their kids to Sunday school--I'm just saying I will bet $20 that it hasn't happened to him or to anyone he knows, but he saw'ed it on da Tee Vee so it must be true. And note that the worst form of discrimination he can conjure in his wee little mind is being called names, even though Christianity as an institution has shown itself capable of much worse. This is what you get for dumbing down history. This is also what you get for dumbing down religion, because in actual point of fact neither the Old nor the New Testaments have anything much to say about abortion--were the author to, oh I don't know, READ HIS BIBLE he might notice that while Mosaic law saw fit to outlaw polyester-blend clothes (a wise decision) , shrimp scampi (a dumb decision) and various other sundries, abortion is left conspicuously alone. Link below.
Also note the hypocrisy: The whole point of Christianity is the forgiveness of sin (by whatever supernatural means--believing in Jesus, telling the priest and doing penance, &c.) . Can he forgive teh 3v1l Moral Relativists or the harlot who had the abortion? No! He knows what Gawd thinks, and everyone else is wrong!

Actually, it has been the Judeo christian Extremists that have targeted pro-abortionists, labelling them as ravening creatures, eager to murder the unborn and end the lives of those poor suffering patients that deserve to live- no matter what.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Pro- abortionists do not advocate death for its own sake- nor do we take pleasure in either abortion and euthanasia. After all, we are people too, and we too revere life. We just don't revere suffering, or poverty, or unrelenting starvation, overcrowding, disease or pain and agony that never seems to end.
Quantity is vastly overrated, sometimes disastrously so. And mere numbers remain meaningless if the quality of life is diminished or sacrificed simply because numbers are sought. Religions nonwithstanding- it is sheer practicality that guides those to seek abortions or euthnasia, to the shock and dismay of those who would seek to control the free will of others, simply because their own religion forbids it.
Nature herself, has controlled populations since before the Earth was born-- using various means to insure- not the deaths of species- though that has occurred, but a balance which insures that all have an equal chance at life during the time those species exist. Abortions- though unpleasant- guarantee the quality of life, by guaranteeing that those babies that live and are wanted have a better chance at survival than those that are unwanted. It is not merely a convenience-- because the decision to have one is never easy. If children are aborted, it is sometimes because they are the product of an accident- or crime- or one too many in a family that is ill equipped to care for it anyway. Usually these babies have the dire possibility of mental illnesses or physical ailments that would make caring for them a burden beyond that of a normal healthy birth. Even if it was relatively healthy- there is no guarantee that it will grow up well because of environmental concerns which could adversely affect its growth. These are things that somehow elude the anti abortionist.
And for Euthanasia- it is often the controversy of those against it, that the patients would be held hostage to be murdered by the unscrupulous-- when in fact-- it is often the unscrupulous who are trying to keep them alive against their will- mostly for monetary reasons as well as the religious belief that no one has a say on how life should end. Yet the patients, dying on a bed of agony- usually of both terminal and debilatating diseases find the controversy ridiculous in the face of pain,and the worry that many of them have as to how their families will carry on in the face of the bills that keep mounting for every day they continue living in the hospital. And the families usually worry as well, for much the same reason. Both want the pain to end.
Pro life is a noble cause- but only coupled with the common sense to know when it is truly noble-- or just plain selfish, short sighted and meaningless in the face of reality.
