I'd say, "Look, I know when it begins for me." It's a personal and private issue. For me, as a Roman Catholic, I'm prepared to accept the teachings of my church. But let me tell you. There are an awful lot of people of great confessional faiths-Protestants, Jews, Muslims and others-who have a different view. They believe in God as strongly as I do. They're intensely as religious as I am religious. They believe in their faith and they believe in human life, and they have differing views as to when life-I'm prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception. But that is my judgment. For me to impose that judgment on everyone else who is equally and maybe even more devout than I am seems to me is inappropriate in a pluralistic society. And I know you get the push back, "Well, what about fascism?" Everybody, you know, you going to say fascism's all right? Fascism isn't a matter of faith. No decent religious person thinks fascism is a good idea.
I have often asked Pro-abortionists what they think about slavery. Usually I get a good answer. Yet, if I play the Devil's advocate and respond to their anti-slavery stance, they have NEVER responded with a consistent answer. In fact, I don't know if I have ever received a thoughtful response at all.
Let's play that advocate and see what happens.
I'd say, "Look, I know when slavery is wrong." It's a personal and private issue. For me, as a Roman Catholic, I'm prepared to accept the teachings of my church. But let me tell you. There are an awful lot of people of great confessional faiths-Protestants, Jews, Muslims and others-who have a different view. They believe in God as strongly as I do. They're intensely as religious as I am religious. They believe in their faith and they believe in slavery, and they have differing views as to when life-I'm prepared as a matter of faith to accept when slavery is wrong. But that is my judgment. For me to impose that judgment on everyone else who is equally and maybe even more devout than I am seems to me is inappropriate in a pluralistic society. And I know you get the push back, "Well, what about fascism?" Everybody, you know, you going to say fascism's all right? Fascism isn't a matter of faith. No decent religious person thinks fascism is a good idea.
So I guess by his own logic, fascism is wrong and is so objectively. Yet, slavery would not be? Certainly there were strong convictions up until very recently that used religion to justify slavery. I have never heard religion used to justify fascism. Therefore his argument falls on its face.
Another problem is that life beginning at conception is not a merely religious belief. Anyone with a scientific brain knows that life begins at conception. That is not the issue. It is not even an issue with Biden for he admits the Roman Catholic church's teaching on the subject (which if he really did he would not argue this way).
In other words, if Biden really believed life began at conception, then for the exact same reasons he would become ardently Pro-Life. The fact is he does not believe it. You can not possibly believe babies are human beings and then allow them to be murdered.
So I now ask Joe Biden what all Pro-Lifers would like to ask. "When did your children receive Constitutional Rights, most importantly, the Right to Life?" For someone who is so willing to give foreign terrorists Constitutional Rights, I would think our own children deserve as much.
The truth is that all men are made in the image of God. If it is true, then all men deserve the Right to Life. You may think this only belongs in the religious realm. If this is merely a religious truth and not something in reality, then Biden no more deserves Constitutional Rights and the Right to Life than his own children. For Biden to speak this way is as maniacal and evil as anyone could be. Biden should be excommunicated from the RCC for knowingly and willingly opposing Rome's teaching as well as allowing murder.
In conclusion, Biden may think that no descent person would think "Fascism is a good idea", but he can't even begin to defend that assertion without borrowing from the truth that God has created all men equal and grants them certain inalienable rights. The Right to Life being the most important.
