So yesterday someone I know on Facebook posted this video, trying to offer a non-religious moral argument as to why abortion is wrong. I usually don't say anything when someone I watch says something really stupid, or at the very least something I don't agree with, but since he seemed to be a rational person before yesterday and I liked some of ( Read more... )
