Reply #216: Policy should be determined on whether or not it's wise [View All]

[kiahzero]

Which "direction" the overall government is going is inconsequential to whether or not a given policy proposition is a good idea or a bad idea.

In other words: the partial birth abortion ban is not wrong because it will "embolden the effort for a greater success" - it's wrong because it prevents doctors from performing a necessary surgery to save the life of a woman.

Specific to this case: Gun control is not wrong solely because it may lead to the outright banning of guns. They are two different propositions, and should not be falsely conflated with one another.
