You like I am basing this on our religious views. I understand religious views are not fact. You on the other hand ...

His mantra is: Facts don't care about feelings.
Is believing abortion is murder a fact or a feeling?
He believes in the fact that a baby in utero is a life. And aborting that fetus is tantamount to murder

Who decides if it conflicts with another's right, someone's view/feelings or the laws we live by?

Ben Shapiro (who is the topic of this thread) makes a point of never using his religion as the basis for his arguments.

Simple question. Is the right to choose an individual right?

Only when it does not infinge on another individual's rights

I only used abortion to show BS (sorry couldn't help it) views on individual rights change with his views on the subject.
Um, no.
In other words his view on abortion doesn't contradict his view on rights/limited government in general.



Simple question. Is the right to choose an individual right?
According to current law yes, but
I think you're missing the point here.

The whole point is he believes the current law is immoral and unconstitutional.
no, he believes in an individuals rights as long as they don't infringe on someone else's rights. i.e.  something along the lines of "your right to swing your fist ends were my face starts."

Am I understanding you correctly? Are you saying that Murder is a legal term and since the according to the current laws abortion is not considered murder therefore the relevant fact here is that abortion is not murder?

Where did you get this idea that laws=facts?
Killing a person is murder. Fact.
It's been proven that unborn children or living just like anyone else. Fact.
Abortion is murder.

Yes murder is a legal term.
So in a third world country there is no such thing as murder?

Yes murder is a legal term.

Come on, you know how people are using the term, and it has nothing to do with legalities. This is an example of what I mean by arguing in bad faith.

If it's a legal thing, assuming there are no laws somewhere remote (third world may not have been the best term) there isn't a concept of "murder"?

Yes murder is a legal term.
So in other words you're saying that the relevant fact (which doesn't care about your feelings) here is that abortion doesn't currently qualify legally as murder?

That's a straw man argument. Of course nobody says it's currently considered murder legally. His argument is that based on the biological facts it should be considered murder.


Is there a topic about which you will argue in good faith?

You keep assuming things about me that are incorrect.
Please give me the definition of "murder" being used in this discussion as you see it. Lets see who is arguing in bad faith.

Simple question. Is the right to choose an individual right?

CM, you know I like you and respect you. I am pointing this out as an interesting thing to think about, not as an argument or debate. I think that what most of the discussions on this forum come down to is that, from a Jewish perspective, religious views (or more precisely the Torah's view) is absolute.

Quote
There are two sorts of statutes: a) statutes that create life, and b) statutes created by life. Human laws are created by life so they vary from land to land according to circumstances. The A-lmighty's Torah is a G‑dly law that creates life. G‑d's Torah is the Torah of truth, the same in all places, at all times. Torah is eternal.
