Is there any difference?

[Rodion Romanovich]

What is the difference between advocating a law to move the month at which abortion is to be allowed forward, and advocating the declaration of war on some country to make it legalized to murder the hundreds of thousands that will be killed by that war? Which of the two is in your opinion worse? Or are both the same?

I will not post in this thread or participate in the discussion, but opened it merely to find out what the general opinion is. Thanks for your participation!

I would have to go with the war by far. It seems like quite an extreme comparison.

War.

Abortion kills children ... if you choose to believe that (I am sooo not getting involved in another one of these, again). War will kill grown-up people and rob them of the possibility of having children, thus killing them by extention.

Thus, war does double the damage.

Perhaps you should have made more clear that by "moving a month forward" you mean a month after birth - especially as most people probably do not consider infanticide after birth to fall under the definition of "abortion".

What about legalizing retroactive abortions when needed? (See thread involving dead deer sex.)

Retroactive abortion? Does this mean we should also execute any children this person might have?

yes I meant that too, and retroactive abortion as in the the traditional putting out newborn children to the wolves, prairie dogs or hyaenas as has been done practically throughout the history of mankind, or the Carthaginian "infant sacrifice" (IMO, that was no doubt just birth control but by roman history writers wrongly described as a ritual with religious content). But no retroactive abortion past say 1-3 months or so after birth, because then it's brutal murder IMO.

If your advocating that we return to the ways of old because of overpopulation then your sadly mistaken. You have lost your humanity.

Its murder once the baby draws breath no matter what attempt at justification one uses. If your concerned about overpopulation, advocation of sterilization, use of condomns, absentince from sex, etc. is a far better method then the "solution" you are advocating in this thread and several others.

This "solution" reminds me of theories of some rather despotic individuals, reminds me of views of Stalin, Hilter, and Mao.

These Moloch sacrifices you speak of are a matter of controversy. For one thing it's entirely plausible it's a myth spread by Roman propaganda during the Punic wars.
How did you manage to conclude that it was in fact just birth control

I find your view repulsive, but I'll play along: what's the reason why you don't support post-natal "abortion" till maturity, but only till 3 months after birth?
