Why is it that when you ask someone what their thoughts are on the LRA/Joseph Kony they immediately say, "He's a monster! He needs to be captured and killed, he's taken so many lives!" Meanwhile, when asked about abortion they are quick to say "Women should be able to make a choice!"
The death toll from abortion is somewhere around 500x that of the LRA. (This is a rough estimate used merely to make a statistical comparison. Don't read too much into the reference itself).
Who then is responsible for all the casualties associated with this Pro-choice era? Is it the mothers- who are often making a short sighted decision to get through 'the now'? Is it the people of the church who are not fighting hard enough against Congress to abolish Pro-choice? Is it the scientists, professors and teachers who do not spend enough time thoroughly educating students on embryonic and developmental biology?
Is the current war between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice based upon Women's rights to their bodies, or is it fueled by the ambiguity regarding the definition of life itself?
17th century English philosopher, John Locke, is known for his thoughts on natural rights, which he expresses in his Second Treatise of Government. His famous words, "The right to life, liberty and property", were of great inspiration to Thomas Jefferson while drafting the Declaration of Independence. Would it not it seem that Pro-choice is without a doubt unconstitutional?
