How can people who think that abortion is murder not think that America is worse than al Qaeda? Our Constitution is officially held to protect the right to abortion. Millions more have been murdered (if you subscribe to a warped view of abortion) because of the foundation of America than al Qaeda could even hope to kill.
So if you think abortion is muder do you think America is more evil than al Qaeda?
Does that mean that if I did (which I don’t) conclude that abortion = murder, and that America is evil for allowing it to happen, I should just ignore al Qaeda?
Because murder is “more evil”, should we ignore all those folks who beat their wives?
But wait! Islam allows abortions in certain circumstances! That means not only does AQ want to destroy our Western way of life, but the dirty no good terrorist sumbitches are PRO-CHOICE! That means they’re just as evil as we are AND THEN SOME.

William Strunk Jr. Do you subscribe to the right to chose good or evil as evil?
I don’t think in America anyone has a abortion forced on them except for fetuses and some underage pregnant women who’s guardian decide for them.
The choice to murder their unborn children is left to the mother, somehow defined as a medical issue which the government has no business looking into.
I don’t know what A-Q view of abortion is, but I suspect that it’s not pretty.
Sorry, OP. There is no way I can beleive that your opening question will be allowed to exist in a vacuum. (Is this what we call a loaded question?)
Which is more likely to happen in this thread?
or
By the way, minor nitpick. I don’t think Germany/Japan was evil in the 30’s or 40’s.
Germany is just a nation, a political entity or construct.
Germans are the humans that make up the nation-state of Germany.
Inanimate objects like buildings, nations, or law books themselves cannopt be evil. Only humans can be evil.
I also don’t feel that all of the Germans were evil just because fascism took over, anymore than I feel that all Muslims are evil for the acts of the extremist members more recently.
There. I Godwin-ised the thread. In a good way, though, I hope.
I just love the fact that the OP gave himself the name of a classic book on English usage when he has consistently shown an inability to frame cohesive thoughts or construct a sentence without multiple misspellings.
As for his premise, he has gone beyond warped to totally twisted. He will eventually fold back in on himself like a Möbius strip. Maybe he’ll just collapse under the weight of his own idiocy and disappear into a singularity of stupidity.
Comparing the level of “evil” between the US and AQ vis a vis abortion is so patently absurd that my mind boggles.
Mr. Strunk, I leave you with the words of your intellectual superior, Buzz Lightyear:
Will–may I call you Will?–I already had objections to some of your rules on punctuation. Must I object to your posts, too? What I mean is, you’ve forced some of our most conservative members to call your ostensibly-supportive argument a “strawman” and they know their way around a strawman argument, having made a few in their time here. (Hi, guys! ) Granted, I’d say this was more like poisoning the well, but we all know Bricker is smarter than I, him being a lawyer and all.
The question is simplistic, misunderstands the hallucinatory worldview of Middle Eastern thugs, and makes all the wrong comparisons.
If I were a religious fundamentalist who believed abortion is murder and that the law, as interpreted by the Supreme Court, was contrary to my religious zealotry, I would be akin to the Taliban. America would not be al Qaeda, but a satanic desert I wished to take over. Al Qaeda simply wants to kill all non-Wahhabi Muslims, but settles for killing Americans because they prop up the Saudi Arabian royal house, which betrays its Wahhabi traditions by drinking liquor, fucking women they’re not married to and generally consorting with satanic Americans.
Jeez, dude, read a newspaper once in a while, will ya?
Actually, despite my prior smart ass remarks, I agree with you. Our friend Will is certainly not a popular fellow around here, and that seems to have affected the responses. The basic question seems logical to me. “If you hold that the violation of the sanctity of human life is a terrible evil, who holds the higher moral ground relative to that moral principle, al Qaeda or the U.S.? The former supports and executes terrorist acts that take human life to advance their political and religious causes. The latter permits the killing of the unborn in a virtually unrestricted manner, and at a loss of life that greatly exceeds al Qaeda’s efforts thus far.”
Remember, the question was to pro-lifers, or at least to a certain subset of pro-lifers. And I’m not saying there isn’t a counter argument. But I don’t see the logical flaw that many who have responded apparently did.
