Change My Mind: Fixing Up Both The Economy And The Healthcare System Are More Important Than Having A Hissy Fit Over Abortions?

Actually, voted that "I can't change your mind" because your mind is already made up. However, the question begs the larger question. To wit, why bother fixing the health care system or the economy is the value of human life is subjective?

The funny part is that the argument against abortion on demand is that the value of human life is objective and not subjective. That it has inherent value and is therefore worth protecting.

Thus does the nation also debate the best ways to handle the economy and reform the health care system. These things matter because human life matters. The nations spends billions of dollars and endlessly debates and commits enormous amounts of time to addressing these things because the nation wants man to prosper and be healthy.

If the underlying premise of morals and law is that life has no value save that which each person chooses to assign to it - the inherent premise in the "abortion on demand" argument - then worrying about the economy and health care is frivolous, not to say illogical. If many are in poverty, so what? If the health care system is broken and people are dying from illnesses that they need not have died from, what does it matter? Their lives are no more valuable than the amount of time and resources we wish to spend on them and that is a purely relative judgment lacking any larger metric.

The premise of the question is that the abortion question is unrelated to health care and economy questions. Yet all spring from the same root. That being that human life has inherent value and therefore it is both humane and prudent to invest time and resources debating them In this then, it is at the most fundamental level, a false dichotomy. Neglect one, neglect all.

In my experience. A person with low intelligence is unchangeable when it comes political issues so there's no point lol

If you don't value human life why is anything else important?

[NorthwestRider]

Let me guess, you want to be poor and lack high class Healthcare 😂

[BillyBalls]

Nope!

Can't afford a kid. l... don't create one.

It's that simple!!!

[NorthwestRider]

Why you care what other people do in their private lives? Is it more important getting higher in your own life?

[BillyBalls]

If I am expected to pay high premiums to pay for those who can't health insurance, I have the right to bitch.
