Abortion frees the spirit from the prison that is flesh.
So, by the same logic, killing of any kind is acceptable, right?
The entity goes with a minimum of fuss, feeling no pain or awareness as the deed is done. Working someone to death in a concentration camp, however, and similar scenarios, belong to another hand altogether.
But at least they're freed from their prison of suffering flesh when they die!
Of course I find such things horrible, but to me, the value of human life does not depend on the person's ability to recognize that his/her life is in any danger or the suffering that precedes that death.
Well, someone can get just as clean bathing in a frigid stream in the middle of winter as they could with a hot shower, but one is decidedly more tolerable than another.
As for your value of human life, while I truly don't share it anymore, I can see where you're coming from. Of course, I don't understand why you invest so much concern into abortion. You believe in an afterlife, correct? And fetuses, should they die before birth, should just go straight there, straight into God's presence, right? If that's so, then why is it so bad to send the child directly there? Why must he or she suffer through the senselessness and pain of physical existence with the very real possibility of growing up into an unbeliever/apostate hanging over his/her head like a blade about to drop when such a glorious alternative is available?
