"You can't push your beliefs about abortion on someone else!"
The following is a comment on one of my YouTube Vlogs on the pro-life issue and my response.
This shows you how confused is our postmodernist generation of the 21st century. When someone says, “ I can’t push my beliefs on someone else,” they are actually stating a belief.
Not pushing your beliefs on someone is pushing your beliefs.
As Nietzsche (who was right sometimes) said: “Not to decide is to decide.”
Or as Cornelius Van Til argued, there is no such thing as a statement of belief that contains moral neutrality.
missmelpol: I don’t believe in having an abortion, but that is MY BELIEF. I can’t push my beliefs on someone else. I thought that was why we had a freedom of religion or speech and all that good stuff.
jcr4runner: The question is: “Why do you think abortion is wrong?” Is it because:
1. You don’t like abortion?
- or –
2. Abortion is murder?
If it is simple a question of likes and dislikes, then no you don’t have the right to enforce a mere opinion. But if abortion is murder, it is a moral law that transcends personal opinion. It can’t be “murder” for one person and “not murder” for another depending on how one feels at the moment.

1. You don't like abortion
2. you think abortion is murder
Neither of the above:
Sorry, Jay, I think abortion is wrong because it violates a primary tenet of the Natural Law.
It has nothing to do with my likes or dislikes.
Murder is a crime defined in the U. S. Criminal Code. You won't find abortion there. Abortion is homicide (killing a person); not murder.
When defending moral issues, clarity is critical.

In some cases I agree with you though.
Murder is the premeditated killing of a human being. Homicide is the unintentional killing of a human being or killing in self-defense.
If a woman doesn't know she is killing a real human baby, either because of ignorance or deceit, then it could be argued it is homicide not murder.
But those abortion doctors who have the medical knowledge to understand that this is a human life are murderers.
And in either case, both murder and homicide are crimes.
So do you think that abortion should be prosecuted as homicide?

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in “tearing the lid off abortion” to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
“… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue.”
— Congressman Robert K. Dornan
