Morality

March 14, 2025

Roe v Wade is now gone, and people who see babies as inconveniences are getting desperate. Some of their arguments are simply insane. The worst one I have come across is so self-contradictory that it is amazing they do not see it. They will claim (without a smirk!) that we should not legislate morality. They make this claim as though there is a legislation somewhere in the world (anywhere?!) that does not have a moral aspect to it. That is the whole point of laws -- to enforce a moral and ethical rule on a society (good laws or bad laws, it is all the same). Even their desire to allow the wholesale slaughter of the unborn is a legislation of morality. It is a faulty and gravely evil concept of what is moral, but that is what it is-- their morality. So then, what would happen if we showed up in front of a planned parenthood clinic with signs that said Don't legislate morality!? They probably would not get it, but I hope you do .
