#36 – Are We Giving The Impression That The Pro-Choice Position Has Validity?

We often hear it suggested that the pro-choice people and the pro-life people should come together and look for common ground and, on the surface, this sounds very mature. But imagine that during the Nazi holocaust, while the ovens at Auschwitz were burning day and night, the Jewish people were asked to sit down with Hitler’s thugs and look for common ground. That would have been outrageous.

The truth is, when people are threatening to do evil, talking with them may be reasonable. But once they have begun committing that evil, the time for talking is over. At that point, the only goal is to stop them. In this case, any time we sit down with these baby killers in some starry-eyed quest for common ground, all we do is give the impression that even we believe their position has some moral validity. It doesn’t.
