I see the logic here, and I have tried it in the past. However one of the things I value most in what freedoms remain to us in this country is the moral values and that I CAN still speak about. I will not approach evil in evil's way, even if it means winning the argument. I want God's laws, in God's way. I believe the constitution is a part of that law, and that's what gives me the strength to stand up for it.
The convenientf abortion is wrong because another's life should not be snuffed out because it inconveniences us. That's murder and it should not be paid for en masse by taxpayers. I will never put it another way to make it more palatable for the immoral who call murder freedom. I used to work that way...it never felt like light and truth, even when it was a part of the truth.
We cannot convince others of truth by manipulating that truth, twisting it to show only what we know they will like. In the end it is not the truth, the whole truth. It is the very tactic that has been employed on us for decades to trick us into agreeing to abortion, among other things. Convincing others to fight abortion on fiscal grounds would be an empty and short-lived victory. It's like teaching sexual purity on the basis of disease prevention....they'll eventually go use a barrier method (latex). Eventually people would find a way around the fiscal excuse. I want to win battles for God, his laws have more power to change and stabilize our nation than all the best philosophical strategies in the world. The founding fathers even said that the Constitution would only be effective on a moral people. Truth, undiluted, is God's way and will win in the end. At that end I want to be able to say I had enough trust in His way not to change it in an effort to "win".
Here is a link to the BLog I read, you may agree with it..even if I don't. http://morganj428.blogspot
