the closest to you are are allowed more
no it can't
Not individuals will survive in that society, byt the society itself could.
it was proven with religion
and it's success
Hm?
But societies have had abortion, and this doesn't seem to be destroying them.
moral codes are beneficial if not essential
Some moral codes allow abortion though.
and they hurt society
Like mine.
Do they?
Hurt by what metric?
but to a lesser extend than others and most people don't care
by what matric?
Yes do they shorten the lifetime of society's, reduce happiness?
What metric
How do we quantify the amount of hurt for society?
longevity success and happiness
more children bring more success
that has yet to be demonstrated. And I can say that it hurts society to ban abortion by my own metrics.
why?
child is far more likely to be beneficial
Because it does. My metric is "freedom from unwanted pregnancy"
I might value this more than any potential venefit
your matric isn't societal matric
Sure it is
if your moral code says murder is ok
The degree to which people in a society can get an abortion is a societal metric.
I put you in jail after acting on it
Your definition of murder.
most
No not the dictionary's
people just add an exception
Murder is usually defined as a legal term.
Unlawful killing.
I don't care if murder is ok in my system.
laws are meant to facilitate these things not make them
I can live with that, so can society.
that's why most laws have been based on religion through history
