    If you killed someone I’d have to cover up for you even though I don’t condone murder

    what?

    This is what gets me about the conservative mindset every time. There appears to be no actual moral framework behind it. It is only about them and their wants and desires.

    Personally, if someone said this to me I would understand them to be amoral. And an amoral person has no ground to stand on to judge anyone else.

    Edit for a clarity reminder: the victim in the hypothetical proposed by the father is someone else’s child, another human being who had every right to exist. But to this conservative dad, they’re apparently nothing to be concerned about. And that is the problem.
