Reply #86: I don't think you know what "moral" means... and I also call bullshit

I'm guessing that you are working with an incorrect definition of "moral". To clear things up for you, I'll just quote from wikipedia:

"Ethics and morals are respectively akin to theory and practice. Ethics denotes the theory of right action and the greater good, while morals indicate their practice. "Moral" has a dual meaning. The first indicates a person's comprehension of morality and his capacity to put it into practice. In this meaning, the antonym is "amoral", indicating an inability to distinguish between right and wrong. The second denotes the active practice of those values. In this sense, the antonym is "immoral", referring to actions that violate ethical principles."

So... yes... support of abortion and belief in evolution are fundamentally placed in the context of moral philosophy, even in the East. It's just the way it is. In your world view, abortion is considered moral.

By the way... I call bullshit on your view of abortion being seen as off the moral spectrum in India...
