[QUOTE="Why_Me-"][QUOTE="CptJSparrow"][QUOTE="Why_Me-"]I'm against moral anarchy, because history has proven that anarchy only leads to social collapse and madness.Collective nihilism is group-destructive, but morals remain subjective and memetic.Despite what the ideologues would lead you to believe, moral values remain an imparitive in societal structure and foundation.There are morals, and rights and wrongs in the world. Abortion should only be used an a necessary evil in the case of a rape, ect. A wrong that erases another wrong.
This opinion isn't formulated based on any religion, as I'm primarily non-religious myself. It is formulated through a realist's world view.

What I'm saying, is that under a system of moral anarchy, you may have fun for a while, but a society will not survive for very long-- like a degenerate child that wasraised without parental guidance. Countries are only as good as the people that inhabit them, and if the people are all guideless, the country is guideless.
That's close to what I was getting at with the nihilism part.;) Morals, however, have no higher value than each other and there is no one "true" good or evil.Incorrect. While it is debatable whether or not the morals in religious texts are directly from G-d, there is no doubt in my mind that they were created with great wisdom. Morals are sets of values or imperatives that are aimed at making a man kinder to another man. Aimed at making a human being less materialistic, less narcisistic, andless likely to believe that it is they who are the center of the universe.Why do you think that I personally oppose abortion? Because I believe that anyone who has an abortion has convinced themselves that they are the center of the universe. A country where the people only care about themselves, and nothing else would be something that presumably you would oppose, but that is where this road is taking us.
