I didn't say "if he was your child"

we were talking about the right to abort your child

Yes, and I asked about the moral aspect, not legal

there is no moral aspect to abortion

I disagree with you there

No? So right up until birth you should be able to turn it into slurry?

There is, but Natural Selection is way more important imo

I never said that,

theres a difference between right/wrong and morality

No, morality is a value judgement of right and wrong

no its not

Then what is morality?

Morality is a personal compass to say "i find this acceptable" or not

I find abortion morally acceptable, but still wrong to just do whilley nillely

No, it's not basic acceptability

Muslims find it morally acceptable to rape women who dress provocatively

You can accept something but have it grate against your moral compass

Christians used to find it morally acceptable to kill unbelievers

Wasn't that against the teachings of Jesus?

the bible contradicts itself several times, i'm sure at some point in the book it is against it

You can think something is wrong (same as morally wrong) and still deem it acceptable

Fwiw "morality

NOUN

mass noun

1Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behaviour."

So wouldn't it be argued that it wasn't moral for them to do so?

They just created their own morality.

They probably thought of it as if you don't follow Christianity then you are suffering and death would be the preferable option.

Morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from a code of conduct from a particular philosophy, religion or culture, or it can derive from a standard that a person believes should be universal. Morality may also be specifically synonymous with "goodness" or "rightness".

@.B I don't see why eugenics would be a good moral standard tbh

its a body of standards

People decide what is right or wrong based on their own morals

Hence its subjective, so a person can not actively state what is right or wrong, because everyone has a different take on things

That is, again, not what you argued lol

yes it is 😮

its a personal system for what you find acceptable

No, you said there's a difference between morality and "right and wrong"

there is

There isn't, by definition

what you consider right and wrong, are different from my definitions

therefore, what you think is moral

I might not find it so

You're playing obtuse semantic games that just don't work

maybe i'm just explaining it poorly 😦

We're talking about what you find right and wrong

@Beemann it isnt. But as a species it makes sense. We already have too many aspects in our society where we increase the number of people that shouldn't be reproducing anyway and in other regular environments wouldn't survive.

And your justification for it

So if morality is subjective then can it be said that you can't argue if abortion is illegal since no one can be right or wrong about it?

yes
