Don't like abortion? don't have one then.

Don't like abortion? don't have one then.
Mind your own business.
Glad that's that sorted

A comic tweeted the above in response to the "Rally for Life" effort in Ireland. It's always hard to tell when someone is joking and when someone is serious, but given some of his other comments it seems safe to say he's on the pro-abortion side.

The thing is this is a common slogan/argument voiced by the pro-abortion camp. My responses to the tweeting comic included:

Don't like murder? Don't commit one.
Mind your own business.

Don't like theft? Don't steal.
Mind your own business.

Don't like child abuse. Don't abuse.
Mind your own business.

Don't like sex abuse? Don't abuse.
Mind your own business.

Don't like animal cruelty. Don't be cruel.
Mind your own business.

Don't like selling substandard products? Don't sell them.
Mind your own business.

(Unintended word play on that last one!)


I could have gone on, but I think I made my point.

The argument is absurd. It's really just a way to avoid intelligent discussion of the issue. My tweets were intended to show the flaw in the reasoning - or lack thereof - behind the argument and the failure to think through its implications.

The only person this statement would make sense for is a total anarchist.
