re: #133 KGxvi

Here’s the thing, though, this line of reasoning is the end result of the “pro-life” movement to make abortion illegal. If life begins at conception or some other point before birth, then abortion would be first degree murder - premeditated as it is hard to conceive of a scenario where a woman gets an abortion in a fit of passion. So, if it’s a capital crime, then capital punishment (because “pro-life” obviously doesn’t mean “pro-life”) comes into play, meaning, as Williamson suggests, somebody is going to be put to death. The added bonus of him wanting it to be one of the nastier ways for them to be put to death is just icing on the cake.

When they decide God needs to be killed for taking out the majority of fertilized eggs before implantation, then I’ll buy the assertion that there’s a line of ‘reasoning’ at work.
