Shneour on Abortion

Shneour’s illustration to prove the pro-lifers errant surely misses the mark. He contends that burning blueprints is something less than arson and aborting a baby is less than murder. Wonderful illustration, but let’s look more carefully.

If someone takes gasoline and a match to my blueprints he may owe me five bucks for replacement costs. On the other hand, if he sets fire to my fully framed but unfinished condo, he will be led away in handcuffs from the scene of the crime. Let’s not tamper with approved building projects.
