Considering the legal framework for abortion

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Does it matter if they believe in their evil if you cannot persuade them otherwise and they are killing innocent people?
So you think that letting Hitler live if you had the chance to kill him before he was responsible for a single death would have been a good thing? And no, Hitler was not needed as a buttress against Stalin. Stalin would not have been America's ally if they did not have a common enemy.

It wasn't America that had to worry about Stalin.

Ah, so you do have an exception for when killing is justified! Self-defense and the defense of others! As I said, not all killing is murder...I am glad that we agree. So tell me, stopping Hitler's genocide would not be defending the lives of others then?

You do not understand my ethical system, which inclines me to think you haven't read my other posts in this thread. Put simply, forgiveable is not "justified" to be "justified" something has to be "right" killing is not right, but in certain situations it is forgiveable and understandable. War is a good example, we should never go to war but if we do then we should fight to protect those we love and their right to live in peace, not to kill our enemies. This is what keeps soldiers going through battle fatigue, love of their comrades, not hatred of their enemies.

This basic philosophy of violence is the one used by the US marines, btw, marines are no longer trained to view the enemy as subhuman because they found that when the marines went home after a tour they started abusing their families, so now they teach them to kill in defence of their comrades.
