The result of believing that abortion is murder

I think the logic holds that unwanted children grow up in poor environments. Either they suffer from neglect, or are the wards of the state. Which typically results in a instability in their formative years. Which in turn creates a higher likelihood that they will engage in criminal behavior as adolescents and adults. I think we all knew children like that growing up. The ones that never got the attention or love they needed and deserved. I am not saying it accounts for all reduction, but it probably accounts for some.

You disgust me. A house of worship is sacrosanct. Murdering someone in cold blood is not justified. This was the work of a coward plain and simple. Defending the behavior is beyond justification even as a Devils advocate. This person had nonviolent recourse they chose to behave like a monster instead.

What disturbs me the most about these shootings is not just the utter hypocrisy. What troubles me the most is that people that feel this way seemingly have only one idea. The best way to fight abortion isn't to treat the situation as an all or nothing prospect. Even if it were illegal you still would not stop the practice. Anymore then you stop murders, rapes, or narcotics. Where there is the will. There is a way, and people used that way before it was legal.

The best way to thwart abortion is to attack the root cause, and that never was a court decision. The root causes are ignorance, poverty, and psychology. All of which are addressed through good education, strong governmental economic intervention, and flexible social contracts. Which ironically are what most antiabortionists abhor. They often despise sexual education, because they think it is sinful. They are disgusted by social programs like Welfare. They are also so firmly entrenched in their beliefs they will not allow engaging in new social dynamics to bring about better conclusions.

The goal should not be to stop all abortions period. The thought that you can is ludicrous. The goal should be to minimize the need for them to happen in the first place. Had this person truly thought about any other coarse they might have put their energy to better use. Handing out condoms to prostitutes. Helping in social programs that support the poor. Serving as a role model to the youth in their community through mentoring.

Instead they were lazy and chose a bullet. All anyone can say about that is what a dumb fuck.
