Imagine this. Many people think raising their child to be troublesome. Maybe they just aren’t in a very stable part of their lives. Maybe they cannot afford to raise a child right now. Maybe they aren’t planning to get children at all.
But adoption is such a hassle. You have to spend several days to complete the process, and it costs a bit of money too. Seeing that this is a problem, the government opens up a new service building, called the slaughter house. It’s very simple in function. You just drop off your children there, and the staff of the facility exterminates the children and gets rid of the remains quietly. It’s all legal.
Now, surely, in our society today, this would create an outrage. It’s like a child version of the holocaust! People would storm the center and put an end to it’s operation right away. To stand there and not stop the center would be despicable. You’d be part of the problem if you simply accepted it as part of life, or were too busy to act.
Yet, isn’t this akin what pro-life people think the abortion situation is like? Don’t they claim that abortion is murder? Mass murder? And yet nothing is happening. They are standing by as thousands upon thousands of babies are murdered, and do not act. Why? Are they afraid? Too lazy?
If you truly believe that it’s mass murder, then how can you do nothing but state your position if the topic happens to be brought up? Would you ever criticize people in Germany from not stopping the nazi movement and their mass murders, when your yourself are guilty of the same inaction?
By the way, I’m pro-choice, so please don’t fill my question with answers like "pro-life is dumb". I want replies from pro-life people. The question is aimed at them.
I wonder if that would have been a valid reason for inactivity in Nazi German too. "I was going to save the Jews, but then I would get arrested, so I didn’t."
I’m sure the people who tried to push for laws instead of taking action to save the Jews were very helpful.
If you continue to try your best, you’ll maybe get to stop abortion in 70-90 years! Great!
