OK, I am approaching this one as a learner, with a genuine question, NOT trying to convince anyone of anything. Actaully, I'd like to have some evolutionists test my theory. Admittedly, I'm a little confused by evolutionary theory, so help me out.
[b]Theorem: Abortion is directly contradictory to evolutionary progress.[/b]
Okay, here's my rationale (much of which I have gotten from reading evolutionists) -
the species has progressed and advanced itself thru the "survival of the fittest" - i.e. when an individual of the species develops a trait that makes it stronger, that individual of the species survives, and the weaker individual dies, therefore reinforcing that trait, and the species as a whole.
In order for this to occur, it follows that you want as many procreations within teh species as possible. Essentially, the greater number of individuals of the species there are, teh greater chance that a strong trait will emerge, thereby surviving, and enhancing the species.
In fact, sexual prowess is encouraged by a number of evolutionists. The thinking is that it is the evolutionary role of the male to impregnate as many females as possible for this very reason. All within the constrainst of society, the disclaimer they usually tack on to this thinking.
But abortion short circuits this process. it eliminates individuals from teh species, thereby REDUCING teh number of individuals, and the likelihood of producing a stronger trait, which would help teh species to "survive."
APPLICATION -
Estimates are that since Roe V. Wade, some 30 million babies have been aborted (I'll refrain from using stronger language in teh interests of open discussion)
One has to wonder how many Nobel peace Prize winners have been aborted. Or if the person who had a cure for cancer was in that 30 million. Or someone who would provide world peace thru a new innovative idea, or end world hunger.
So, evolutionists, what have I missed?? Surely this has been addressed by someone. I mean, I'm not smart enuf to have outsmarted the evolutionists, am I??? [;)]
