Lethal injections:Legal to use on innocence, but not on the guilty.

[Traitorfish]

"Innocent life"?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

This was reinforced this week in a document I received from The Quebec College of Physicians, titled “Guidelines in performing abortions.”

Can I see this document?

 

[WindFish]

I am fighting it by not falsely accusing any one. Besides, I cannot force any one to be who they do not want to be. I can only point out the injustices being done.

Except you don't point out squat

I've never seen you write about those who are wrongly on death row or about the lives taken by the recent school shootings

How would the deaths of ~12 million toddlers and pre-toddlers be justice?

Perhaps he was envisioning a scenario where all the fetuses and toddlers who hadn't yet sinned would somehow survive. That they would eventually grow up to seek revenge on all the ones they thought were guilty of murdering others since then.

I have though.

 

[Borachio]

I must say I find it very strange that staunch pro-life advocates are so very often usually pro-capital punishment, anti-gun control, and gungho on the hit-them-terrorists-hard question.

(not you timtofly, iirc)

And I certainly don't see how alleged innocence or alleged guilt has anything to do with this.

If an angry God casts upon America an asteroid from space and destroys us utterly it will be justice.

But if a person does it, it will be vile terrorism.

 

[FriendlyFire]

I support the use of lethal poisons only by government approved socialist death panels.

Abortion is always wrong, unless God aborts fetuses by killing pregnant women. Then abortion is ok. Remember do what I say, not what I do.

 

[Arwon]

Everyone who believes that abortion is murder and doesn't do anything to directly and physically stop the worst crime since the holocaust is a hypocrite, a liar or a coward.

 

[Arwon]

Oh and don't give me that deontology crap about murder always being wrong. A belief system which literally stands by in witness to a holocaust is very very difficult to defend. You should be willing to cop a few deaths to save millions. And in fact, you should be willing to violate your personal ethics and risk hell to save many other lives as well as the souls of the murderers.

It's what Jesus would have done.

Sure, but what's that to do with the topic at hand?

Why are you advocating mass murder? How is this allowed?

 

[Leoreth]

Why are you advocating mass murder? How is this allowed?

It's killing in defense of the clearly innocent.

 

[Oruc]

It's killing in defense of the clearly innocent.

Nope he's trying to convince other people to go out and murder, but I guess it must be ok because he's left wing.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Anyone produce that document yet?

 

[WindFish]

How is he advocating mass murdah?

 

[Traitorfish]

Nope he's trying to convince other people to go out and murder, but I guess it must be ok because he's left wing.

He's trying to convince people to stop claiming that abortion is murder. I don't understand what's remotely ambiguous about that.

 

[El_Machinae]

I see Oruc's point, honestly. It's a context-sensitive call to violence. We can tell it's sarcastic, because we know who Arwon is, but I can see why someone would be offended.

Stop inflaming the crazies, Arwon!

 

[Borachio]

There's a bit of a clue in the phrase "It's what Jesus would have done."
