20. The fudies really do think they are"saving innocent babies"
Edited on Thu Mar-09-06 04:14 PM by Odin2005
I don't think racism has anything to do with it, I know African-Americans who think abortion is wrong, too. I think it is ultimately a clash between moral philosophies. Secular people tend toward Utillitarianism (maximize happiness, minimize suffering) while religious people stick with the religious ethics laid out by Thomas Aquinas (you're actions must conform to "natural ends" since that is fulfilling God's Plan).
