Re: “The hypocrisy of the American pro-life movement”
I love people who self righteously point out 'hypocrisy' yet have no realistic solutions of their own. It's easy to accuse one of being a hypocrite when you are unwilling to take a stand. Saying you sincerely believe in the sanctity of life, yet allow someone to carelessly take an innocent one through a violent abortion is worse than hypocrisy, it is insincerity, and naive. It gives absolutely no weight to your self-proclaimed morality of empty words. It's justifying your inability to get off the fence because again, you have no real answers. A just war and abortion, very simply, are not morally equivalent, any common sensical Catholic knows this. A just war means it can at times be moral. Abortion, the killing of the innocent can never be considered moral, never objectively right. Never. Give me a break, I never felt like i wasted more time than reading this pointless piece of garbage. But for the secular liberal, it always seems the worst sin is hypocrisy. No, taking an innocent life is much worse.
The point is, the accusation of hypocrisy is not even logical because the comparison that he bases his accusation of hypocrisy on is a false one. In war, even in most unjust wars, soldiers are not aiming at innocent children. There is a reason the term 'war crimes' exist, even within war, purposely aiming for the children is a crime, a war crime. In abortion, the aim is directly toward the child, directly at the innocent, for what? Economic reasons? Social experimentation? Choice? What about the baby in the womb, who has no say in the matter? Now, if this guy was upset with the islamic terrorist groups who purposely use innocent children as shields, and want them dead to parade them around and stir up the hate, and strap bombs on their own kids, now that would be a fair comparison, if these terrorists protested abortion clinics, ,they would be true hypocrites because they are essentially killing their own children. But do not confuse this evil with people who believe in protecting the innocent and the need to fight true evil. I'm sorry, at best that article is a weak argument for pacifism, and is based on the premise that there is no just war. If that naive view was taken throughout history, there would be no free societies right now. It would be naive to believe so.
