Playing devil's advocate here for a minute:

Since the Muslims believe that female mutilation and marriage to 12 year old girls is okay, as is rape of non-Muslim women, should we not be able to force our religious-based moral laws on Muslim immigrants?

Regarding families being allowed to make their own reproductive choices by permitting killing of fetuses before birth, then why not give them, say, maybe a year after the birth to decide if they want to terminate the life of their child. By then they will have more information to base their decision on. Some marriages fail within the first year after a birth. Wouldn't life be so much simpler for all parties if that pesky little infant was no longer in the picture?

Slippery slopes can tilt in all directions.


You are confusing your secular values for religions ones. Male circumcision has a long history in Judeo-Christianity. Islam just applies this practice to the opposite sex. Not mutilating the gentiles of children is a secular, not a religious value. Same thing with the age of consent. It's a modern secular value, not a religions one.

As for your one year old strawman, you are really equivocating, comparing a mass of undifferentiated cells with a live birth.

As for what the Bible says about the treatment of women and children of different religions, perhaps you should acquaint yourself with Numbers 31 and the Massacre of the Midianites.

And you are still advocating for the addition of 60+ million more unwanted welfare drawing, Hillary voting, gang banging middle school drop outs in this country.




If that "mass of cells" turns into a donkey, then you may have a point, since it doesn't, you don't.


Abortion crosses more than just religious lines. It's a moral issue, or the lack there of. Christians don't have a monopoly on being anti abortion.
