Issues The Anti-Choice Crowd Carefully Avoid #3 |
Here's something worth attending to at Sciecneblogs (Jake Young, Pure
Pedantry) :
http://tinyurl.com/2zsxl7
I love this bit involving Mark Saghoff:
"University of Maryland philosopher Mark Sagoff makes the extremely
interesting point that the notion that personhood is somehow a moral
trump that demands that others recognize a being's rights is an
historically new concept. "The idea that every human being prima facie
is entitled to equal respect and concern under rules fair to all seems
to depend not on hard-wired biological factors but on contingent
historical variables," writes Sagoff. Human history, after all, is
replete with tribes who kill outsiders, men who kill "dishonored"
women, believers who kill and torture infidels, and so forth."
This *****-slaps the anti-choice crowd and ties directly into the Old
Testament barbarities!

+ It does?
+ Tell me why.
+ First of all, don't provide a stupid comment and expect
me to latch onto it. We do not live in the jungle. Why not start
with the preamble to the constitution. Do you believe in it?
+ If not, why not?
+ Then you can ramble over to law of the jungle if you like.
