ROFL I don't have a problem with slavery in a society that wants to have it. I don't like it personally- but societies certainly have the ability to have slavery if it works. My response only seems circular to you because you do not understand it. There is no right and wrong. There is no absolute morality. Morality is whatever society says it is. Murder is whatever society says it is. I happen to personally like the logic of birth as a cutoff. But society COULD define all abortions as murder. And that would then be murder. I would think it was impractical and silly- but my opinion wouldn't matter if the majority decided to change enough laws in this country to make it happen. The unborn are human tissue. I don't know whether they are human beings- since that totally depends on how you define "being". I would argue that because society is a contract a society can do whatever it wants- and other countries should not intervene in a military fashion. So to have an internal holocaust (or civil war) is the sovereign right of a country. You may not like that I think that- but it is completely rational, totally non-circular, and completely consistent. Three things your tissue of beliefs and superstitions are not.
