So since the United States supports and allows abortion, should our country be "shot on sight" by the rest of the world? Should the evil that WE as a country support (and I know you say it should be on a state by state basis, but right now it's a federal issue) be done away with? By having us destroyed, perhaps?
You even admitted that there are certain situations where abortion is acceptable. So how can it be "evil" then, if it's wrong in some situations but okay in others? Clearly it can only be judged on a case-by-case basis then, right? So I guess it's not so "black and white" an issue after all.
My point is, almost NOTHING in the realm of morality is as black and white as it first appears, you can always find points on which large numbers of people will disagree, creating "grey areas" where any divisionary lines between the sides of good and evil can only be arbitrarily chosen at best. So by giving any ONE person or group the power to MAKE those arbitrary decisions is extremely dangerous. Can't you see that? So there again we are left with the question of how exactly we ALL AGREE on a definition of what is "evil".
