The bait works every time....LOLAre you seriously putting that out there as an example? Have you been drinking?
If you're serious, in that you don't think we should have complete autonomy over our own bodies, then I hope you enjoy your Obamacare because it sounds like you just endorsed it.
Next time use "abortion is murder" for your example, you could actually get some traction with that. Your example above is absurd.
So, your real objection to My example (and contrary to your belief, it is far from absurd) is that the right to use your body to kill others is that it keeps you from killing a baby via abortion....
Is that about right?
No, not really.
It's not about abortion or any 1 issue to me. I don't think about having an abortion any more than I think about committing suicide. I think about I am the only 1 that is ultimately responsible for me and if I don't have the right to control my own body then I can't be held responsible. Personal responsibility means a lot to me, therefore personal autonomy is an imperative.
I'm not going to derail someone else's thread by making it into an abortion debate. If you want to do that I suggest you start a new thread. But FWIW, I don't believe being anti-abortion is in line with conservative values. Mandating what people can or can't do with their bodies is an authoritarian stance that takes personal responsibility away from the individual. That sort of social coercion is best left to the libs if you ask me. If there's an issue of morality I believe that is between the sinner and their creator. Personally I would never commit suicide or have an abortion, but it should be my choice, not yours or the states.
The problem with abortion is, it's not just your body. Just as it's not just your body if you're a suicide bomber.
