Abortion is an act of tyranny. It is the expression of legal force against another life that denies that life the right to the property of living and every expression of existence that follows from it. It denies these rights solely for the benefit of another (others), who have exchanged the risk of creation for their own pleasure.
Denying life for your own selfish pleasure; even excusing it because the state has made it legal? How is that not tyranny?
The pursuit of pleasure is a function of human existence–an animal instinct. And the promise of physical pleasure drives us toward intimate human contact. Societies try to manage this relationship with institutions like religion, marriage, even our government, but in recent decades the government has viewed these institutions as inimical to “personal freedom,” and sought to enact laws that prevent these social or cultural institutions from functioning as a brake on the unbridled human weakness for sexual pleasure. While the state should have a very limited if marginal interest in managing the terms of otherwise natural and productive human relationships, somewhere along the way the State has legalized a form of tyranny.
