Found a great comment on Yourish.com from David Foster that made so much sense. Progressives (liberals) view morals as properties of objects and not people. So for instance, nuclear weapons are immoral, but not people who seek to use them. Guns are immoral, but not people who shoot others. Bombs are evil, but not those who employ them.
Fascinating theory.
How would this apply to abortion?
The answer is obvious, but it took me a moment, because I don’t even think like that.
The immoral “object” is the baby.
Wow. I’d love to test this out with a survey.
What do you think – does it fit real-world observations?
