Doesn’t Pilsbury expect his daughter to react with a certain level of horror and disgust when she finds out where some of her allowance money is being financed from? He already knows what she thinks of flying first class when everyone else is in cargo class. Doesn’t that make the decision easier?
Moral crisis? Actions have consequences. Don’t deprive someone else of life and expect to keep your own. Unless, of course, you’re talking about the unborn.
Cogent, when you can prove that life begins at conception, the rest of us will believe you. Problem is, that’s faith rather than science……and we prefer not to legislate on faith.
Well, by technicality, the people who would be administered the drug are already condemned to die… if not the drug, they could be hung, electrocuted, shot, or some other method of being killed, but they’re going to be killed any way you slice it.He wouldn’t be killing these people or sending them to die, he’s just making the axe to chop off the head that’s already condemned to be chopped. :-s
Wyntre, abortion is most definitely depriving someone of future life. Cogent didn’t specify that the unborn are already alive, tho they are by a strictly biological definition.
Retribution has nothing to do with it. It’s about protecting society as a whole from any future criminal acts committed by the condemned individual. And, yes, that includes any fellow inmate they might murder while serving a life sentence. Your skewed sense of reality must be a real burden some times.It is a question of life! The statement was “Actions have consequences.” Unintended pregnancy is not the fetus’s fault and therefore it’s right to life should not be abrogated even at the cost of “temporary” slavery of the negligent mother.
