Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!
Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

Now, how bout saying something really dumb and dramaqueenish....
Interesting that you feel the need to reinforce each others non-arguments rather than actually engage with your interlocutor . It is so obvious that you are unable. .
Thanks.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Your idea of morality is nothing more than local laws Tassy. If it is legal to toss gays off of a bridge in Tassmeckistan, then it is legal, and if it is illegal here, then it is illegal. derp.
What happens if you disagree with a law, Tassman? What happens if they revoke Roe v Wade, for instance and it is then illegal to have an abortion? Does that mean that it is now immoral to have an abortion because our society says it is? Does that mean your morals will change too?

So, what is your idea of morality, Sparko? Spell it out for us.
You seek community support in an attempt to change the existing law, this has happened throughout history. Obviously, it has. The laws we have today are quite different in many areas to the laws of our community 1 or 2 centuries ago.
They demonstrably have changed with regard to abortion, including among Evangelicals. “There was a time when different viewpoints were accepted and respected and did not serve as a litmus test to determine who was a “real” Christian. A time when many evangelicals thought that the United States Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision might be considered a good and compassionate ruling as it overturned the varied restrictive abortion laws of the states that so often drove desperate women to seek out illegal, unsafe, “back-alley” abortions”.

You have Phuket, Thailand as your part time location in your profile. Abortion except in the case of rape or the health of the mother is illegal in Thailand. The same in Sydney, with some additional parameters like "economic factors" . Yet you have been arguing for abortion to be a right for any reason up to when a fetus has "a brain" - You are at odds with your own societies. Yet you claim that morals are set by the society. By your own definition, your views on abortion are immoral.

“The circumstances in which an abortion is lawful were
expanded in 1971 by a decision of the NSW District
Court [Sydney] in which Justice Levine said that an abortion was
not unlawful if a doctor honestly believed on reasonable
grounds that “the operation was necessary to preserve
the woman involved from serious danger to her life
or physical or mental health which the continuance of
pregnancy would entail” (R v Wald [1971])”.
https://www.fpnsw.org.au/sites/defau...bortion_fs.pdf
In practice this means abortion on demand. But, as in the most of the Western world, the vast majority of abortions occur in the first trimester.

Not at all.

Well I'm not actually. But regardless, my argument is NOT that we are permanently bound by the laws of society, this would imply that they are ‘absolute’ and my argument is that moral values are NOT absolute. Social values are fluid and constantly evolving. If one feels then to be wrong then one advocates for change.
Laws are based on social values Tassman. They are for the most part, legislating moral codes and values. And here you are showing that you don't agree with the law. You agree with "abortion on demand" even if it takes creating some loopholes in the law like the Doctor twisting the definition of health of the mother to mean "just wants an abortion"
again you argue for your own morality, and not that of your society which is codified by law. You can't keep your story straight.
