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
this happened in Europe and will happen in Africa
that has yet to be demonstrated. And I can say that it hurts society to ban abortion by my own metrics.
why?
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
Religion is pretty dumb though <:really:591181753625083905>
laws are just facilitation of the greater moral code and I say right now it has a contradiction
it was an important construct for objective rights and moral codes
