Callixtus 12/19/17 2:50:53 AM #56:	Anteaterking posted... Callixtus posted... Why shouldn't you use armed force to kill abortion doctors, and physically prevent pregnant women from getting abortions? Logically, because you'll go to jail. Morally, I can't see someone in this situation successfully convincing me that it was morally consistent for them to murder people who perform abortion but somehow what they are doing is justified. I suppose if you believe that you should be punished under the full extent of the law it's a little different. Choosing not to prevent murder, because you'll go to jail is a terrible excuse not to do so. There's a reason fear of punishment is on Kohlberg's lowest rung of the ladder of moral development. --- It will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. \| I did not come to bring peace to the earth, but the sword. -Jesus <cite>Callixtus posted [p:892486789] in Assume for...
