Droppin’ Eaves II
Ok, this is the last time I’ll post a snippet of my convo with Chloë…but I think its interesting, and I wanna kno what you think about this. It was meant as just to her, so its not a great argument or anything, just…interesting, i hope.
Abortion is a difficult one, not as cut and dry as people on either side of the issue make it out to be. I’ve debated it with my conservative Christian uncle, and its been very illuminating to me. It will never be solved because both sides are arguing different things. The whole conservative argument is based on life being started at conception, while the liberal argument is that life starts when a child is born (I think…is that right?) So, if either group would accept the ‘given’ that the other group gives, then there would be no argument. Obviously if there is life at conception then both sides would be against it, because then abortion would be murder by definition, and murder is illegal. But also, if life starts at birth, then why the hell can’t you control whats going on in your body? Hm..Also, its quite ironic that conservatives are for less government, instead of in the arenas of abortion and gay marriage…and exporting democracy.
