Themed Set: Judging Abortion
September 2nd, 2008 Headsman
Abortion and the death penalty have never struck the Headsman as especially similar matters, but they’re interconnected as “life” issues for many.
Whether or not one conceives them as part of a seamless garment, the judgments one makes about abortion are as juridically charged as they are emotionally charged: if abortion is murder, one might punish it by death.
The next two dates’ executions reflect the seemingly intractable ethical and practical uncertainties entailed by extending the concept of “life” into the womb … and the different parties to whom the fatal result of the severest moral calculus might be charged.

Whether or whether they are conceived as a seamless garment, abortion judgements are as legally laden as they are emotionally charged: if abortion is murder, it may be punished by death.
Experience has shown that a number of women, a minority, will terminate a blessing, and this is not stated to ease the pain and turmoil they are in, and that when this is strictly outlawed, only bloodshed and brutality occur. It is not for me to impose (convert others to) my way of life on another, according to Jesus, history’s greatest libertarian, and it is a matter of appropriate regulation, support, and information. It saddens me that many women who have chosen the abortion route are left with terrible regret.
I love Kelsey Patterson! his mental health research is amazing, just as cosmetic surgery https://celebshistory.com nose job improves looks, so does his research improve the world
Paul Hill: Even Jesus’ most noble ends – to unqualifiedly love the Father above all else, and everyone in world equally as I have loved you, did not allow any means to reach those I am the way the truth and the life ends. I am a right to lifer in that any child given to me would be accepted and as with both supported to allow them the freedom and independence our heavenly Father craves for them. Experience shows a number of women, a minority, and this is not said not to lessen the hell and turmoil they are in, will terminate a blessing and that when this is absolutely prohibited, only bloodshed and cruelty ensues. According to Jesus, history’s greatest libertarian, it is not for me to impose (convert others to ) my way of life on another, and it is a matter of sound regulation, support and information. It saddens me that many women who have taken the termination course live to suffer unimaginable remorse.
