52. LOL WHY??

Edited on Wed Apr-12-06 11:35 PM by BullGooseLoony

We're dealing with Homo sapiens and creatures of a much lesser cognitive potential.

In any case, what we're talking about is two different ACTIONS- eating meat and having an abortion. ***I'm not comparing a fetus and an animal directly.*** That's a straw man- and, I'd have to say, not even a very good one. I'd actually think you'd lose that straw-man argument.

I'm comparing ARGUMENTS made against and for meat-eating and the choice of abortion, respectively. I'm pointing out the moral relativism that doesn't work for either argument.
