According to Whodey, if you see a need for a government, you must see that government as your shepherd.
Do you see government as your shepherd, Kelly?
You can historically see how government shapes the morality of the public
For example, before slavery was outlawed it was generally accepted, although not seen as ideal. However, centuries of being made illegal, the notion of slavery seems absurdly immoral
Likewise, before abortion was made legal, it was generally though of a immoral. However, after decades of being legal, it is seen as OK, even though not ideal.
We, as a society, are lemmings. This is because we naturally adopt the morality of a perceived authority figure we respect.
As for myself, I respect more the authority of my God than man, so it matters little what laws they pass to praise such practices of abortion, I don't bite.
