Abortion is allowed because we don't have land for the people to live on? Abortion is allowed because some people don't believe in holding certain issues upon others. I think drinking alcohol is taboo, in the fact it is the easy way of feeling nice, I perfer endorphines from athletics. But you don't see me trying to setup prohibition laws. I think drug use is a travesty, but I want to legalize it, so that there can be quality control, lower prices, fewer non-violent criminals stuffed in jails, and end the reign of drug lords by crashing that market. I think abortion is wrong, but I will not let that opinion effect someone else who may not feel that way. There will always be a mental price a woman and man will face with an abortion. But if we make it illegal, more women will see butchers and as Rockefellar said, "I will not send the women of today back to the stone age."
As god says in my short story where he sues mankind, he tells the muslims, let those who are infidels be infidels. Tell them what's going on, but leave it at that. You won't change anything by doing anything else. Let bygones be bygones, of course to a point.
You see, there are a few large standards to go by in the world. 1) no murder 2) no stealing 3) be kind to others. There are other ones, but those three are the keys. You might think abortion is murder, but some people don't.
If we are all to live in peace, a line must be drawn as to what is an acceptable difference.
