A simple argument

by David Engelhardt on Friday, March 27, 2009


Imagine you were in the business of destroying houses. That was your job. You are called to destroy a rather large house with many rooms. The only way to destroy this house by city ordinance is to blow it up by C4 explosives. No problem you've done it before you can do it again. What if there was a 50 percent chance someone was still in that house? Would you blow the house up or would you wait until you were completely sure that the house was empty? What if you were on a deadline?

No human being in their right mind would destroy the house with the knowledge that there might be a life inside that house. But our society tears down these houses everyday. We have, as a society aborted 40 million children in the wombs of their mothers. The amazing justification is that we just don't know if the baby is considered a human until the baby has left the womb. Even if your a flaming pro-choicer you would still have to give a percentage and a time frame for the child to be considered a life. So when is it? First trimester or second? The answer is, lets be on the safe side and wait nine months to find out. Life is precious.
