→‎Abortions and breast cancer: not really a cause for argument
Line 145: Line 145:  
::: I reread your posting, RobertK, and it does implicitly deny that abortion causes breast cancer.  I don't know why you deny that now.  The clear theme of your posting is that abortion does not cause breast cancer, but can be immoral anyway.  Abortion does increase the risk of breast cancer regardless of its immorality, and let's not pretend otherwise.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 19:03, 14 February 2008 (EST)

::::With all respect, Mr S, I think you misread my posting.  PJR apparently read ''all'' the words.  I set up a ''hypothetical'' situation in which the two things, abortion and breast cancer, are not linked.  Hypothetical means, basically, let's pretend.  I used a hypothetical to show that it can be dangerous to look for moral teachings in science, since morality is a permanent, unchanging quality of the Divine, whereas science is the imperfect human approach to understanding the natural world.  To base moral decisions on science is a fool's errand.  Abortion is either moral or immoral, and whether or not it is related to breast cancer is a matter of science, not of morality.  If this issue is too complex as stated, I can try to make it simpler for you, but it is important...it goes to the heart of how to approach moral decision making.[[User:RobertK|RobertK]] 22:14, 14 February 2008 (EST)
