My mom always told me that she doesn't believe in the legislation of morality, and i agree. I am listening to a debate about abortion, it's making me dizzy.
I agree that you cannot legislate morality. On the other hand, you can't leave the immoral completely unregulated either. Laws have a purpose. I think it helps to figure out what the purpose of law is. It might give you one basis to help sort things through. I have very strong opinions on abortion that I think are based both in reason and emotion. But behind all those opinions are real people that God loves. That's important to remember as well.
are both arguments of the debate making you dizzy or is it just the side you disagree with?
last year c-span showed the house/senate arguing (or trying to pass it, i'm not quite show) over a bill that would make it illegal for someone to transport anyone under the age of 18 that is a resident of a state where abortion is 'illegal' to a state where it would be easier to get.
needless to say, the pro-life argument won whatever it is their were fighting for.
too tired from packing boxes to want to even touch this topic right now...just wanted to stop by & wish you a very merry christmas! :) hope you enjoy your friends & family when you are home for the holidays...feliz navidad, buddy! :)
