Ethics is intertwined with morality.
I disagree. They are similar, but certainly not "intertwined" when properly defined.

History, how do you know what it looks like sans morality?
What? We can look at results with zero moral input.

Explain how psychology would have led to the outlaw of murder?
I didn't say psychology would have led to the outlaw of murder.

By your logic, there is no secular argument against "retiring" layabouts?
I guess it all depends on your respect for life.

Sure, just not a very good one.
I mean, I don't have religious arguments against killing small animals, but I'm still opposed to it.
Snuffing out human life for convenience doesn't seem like it's much less egregious than that.

It was one of your answers to the question of why nurder would have ever been illegal if not for morality.

So, in your opinion, pro abortion people are naive?

I'm aware of the dictionary definition of each. Your reliance on that makes me question your understanding of them.

Absolutists, yes, as I thought was already understood from our conversation.

if you take morality out of the equation, is it not cheaper for taxpayers to pay for a one time abortion than to pay for food, education, welfare, Medicaid, prison, drug rehab, etc. for all of these unwanted babies born to unfit parents?
If you are making the argument from a strictly fiscal prospective, then it would also be OK to murder infants that were born to "unfit parents". Viability is the best non-moral argument. The only difference between a viable fetus and a human is location.

And your inability to understand that dictionaries have long been properly viewed as a collection of the what society sees as "properly defining" something makes me question that you knew the dictionary definition when you posted. Maybe you are just clumsy with your words, you did switch from properly defined to understanding so atleast you are getting better.

Wrong.

Yes. It ends a life. It's murder.

This is a very selfish, shortsighted, and evil mindset.
Take this argument:
And apply it to the mentally and physically handicaps. The repeat offenders( of whatever level) in prison, the homeless, etc. why don't we just kill them all without warning? Wouldn't that save us some money?
You should have your answer.
Just because doing something May "save money" doesn't make it the right thing to do. Especially when they think is potentially killing a perfectly viable infant just because isn't a "burden"
