Alate_One, as is so often the case with social liberals, you are simply confusing action (i.e., doing) with passion (suffering or having something done to one). You are confusing acting with not acting.
Do you understand the point and see the application, or need I go into further explanation?
I'm afraid you're about as clear as mud especially since you didn't quote exactly which of my points you're referencing.
Not at all.This is like saying that a prohibition against theft only becomes credible and acceptable if everyone is provided for to their satisfaction.
Here's the problem with the abortion debate. There are always at least three individuals involved. (Mom, Dad, offspring)
Now the pro-choice movement believes there's only one individual with standing or in some cases that there is only one individual at all.
What the pro-life movement fails to understand is the offspring, by it's very existence, is imposing on the woman's life and health.
So I think it's a complex interplay of rights of several individuals (this is why abortion is a debate and not obvious as stealing). And when we're talking about conception via rape, I think the balance is clearly tipped in the favor of the woman's choice.
The ultimate issue is how to make public policy that is workable and acceptable and including support for people so that they have other options will make the policy more acceptable to the public.
Do you understand that Trad or are you still hung up on your moral absolutes?
