Abortion is murder. I am not saying it is worse than killing an older child, but it is murder nonetheless.

pknopp is simply trying to change the focus of the discussion away from ISIS being like Nazis. Don't fall for it.

You may disagree with abortion and that's your right but it's still legal in this country. And if that upsets you, what they are doing to disable children should really upset you. But sounds like you are more worked up about abortion.

Well, killing people because they are disabled, or gay, is certainly something the Nazis were guilty of. ISIS is killing people for being gay (throwing them off the roof), while the disabled claim is still to be verified.

We have killed 55 million babies through abortion, but I know it is 'normal' to be more concerned about something which is fresh in the papers today, even if the numbers do not come anywhere near the 55 000 000. Of course ISIS murders upsets everyone. There is a good chance the story is fabricated to do just to accomplish that goal.

If ISIS is killing healthy Christians and others, what makes you think these kids are hands off? Do you think ISIS is setup to take care of the poor among them? This is really the poor people Jesus spoke of, not men and women of working age.

Because we aren't killing healthy Muslims? We didn't bomb schools and a hospital?

So what can I assume because of that?

Screw them if they won't work. Or something like that as the argument so often goes.

Seriously?
