If we look at the details, especially...Discerning,<br /><br />If we look at the details, especially the RESULTS, of the situations you bring up, we can readily see your analogy is confused. <br /><br />The purpose of showing pictures of aborted fetuses is not to dissuade abortions merely because they are "horrifying sights," but to show that abortions RESULT in a substantial moral NEGATIVE; namely, the brutal killings of actual human beings. Quite the contrary, heart surgeries and c-sections RESULT in a substantial moral POSITIVE; namely, healthy hearts, healthy mothers, and healthy babies. Your analogy would be valid only if we knew abortions produce morally positive results (and not the intentional, unjustified killing of innocent human beings).<br /><br />A much more accurate analogy would be the following: if person X has a a strong belief that refusing medically prescribed heart surgeries and c-sections does not cause the death of heart patients, mothers, and babies, then showing person X photos (of people who died as a directly result of refusals to undergo those necessary surgeries) is not only morally acceptable and but a laudable act of persuasion.armknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-33896839448892301752013-03-05T05:03:46.974-08:002013-03-05T05:03:46.974-08:00DCB, Is heart surgery morally parallel to intentio...DCB, Is heart surgery morally parallel to intentionally killing an innocent human being? If not, could you clarify your point?SKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905606527143286458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-71524820519073779512013-03-04T20:08:49.691-08:002013-03-04T20:08:49.691-08:00I find heart surgery a horrifying sight. If my wif...I find heart surgery a horrifying sight. If my wife-to-be ever has a c-section, I don't know if I'll be able to stay in the room. I would prefer that we keep both of them as practices.<br /><br />I lean pro-life, though I've had other sentiments lately. I just think this argument in particular is kind of ridiculous.Discerning Christian Bloghttp://thediscerningchristian.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
