Not innocent? 


Innocent - adj. - 1. free from moral wrong  2. free from legal or specific wrong; guiltless.  3. not involving evil intent or motive.


If one is not innocent, then one is guilty.  If unborns are not free from guilt, which guilt do they have.


Words mean what they mean.  Tell me, if you lived a couple of hundred years ago and viewed slavery as a terrible human rights violation, what adjectives might you use when describing them"1. free from moral wrong; without sin; pure: innocent children. 

2. free from legal or specific wrong; guiltless: innocent of the crime. 

3. not involving evil intent or motive: an innocent misrepresentation. 

4. not causing physical or moral injury ?


Tell me, if you had lived a couple of hundred years ago and saw slavery as a terrible human rights violation and were arguing for its end, what adjectives might you have used when you were describing them (slaves)  Or is it your opinion that when one is arguing for a group that is being denied their most basic rights that it is inapporopriate to try and garner sympathy for them?
