Give evidence of Vegas' corruption. Few of the people who live there gamble. An even lower % are engaged in the sex industry. There are more churches per capita than any city in the US. Church membership/visitation is very high.
Where is the evidence of the corruption?

I concede the point on late term abortions, because a living being is a living being. It is sentient in its own right, without mechanical assistance. By the same token, I support Kevorkian to some degree. Why should I be kept alive by a machine? There is no dignity in that.

IF abortion is corrupting, it still wouldn't be a reason to legislate it. However, if there comes to be incontrivertible truth that a second old fertilized egg is a sentient being....then it IS society's problem.
I don't remember making this point with a codicile toward corrupting influence or a "slippery slope". If I did, I was mistaken.
