Nope. Common sense is sense that can be explained. It's shorthand for whatever you mean it to be, and unless you explain your reasoning, the sentence is meaningless.
A conscience is a PERSONAL moral code. That means that your conscience tells you what YOU should do, not what other people do.
Now don't be discouraged. Go back and work on your definitions. It's only common sense.
"Common sense" is "what everyone knows". If someone grew up in a different environment than you, then their "common sense" is going to be different.
If someone has different beliefs, then even if they have the exact same level/type of conscience, it won't lead to all of the same actions or moral/ethical concerns.
Anonymous: "I'm pro-life and pro traditional marriage because I believe that once sperm has fertilized egg, the egg morphs into a microscopic, fully formed, thinking and feeling baby and because I believe it's a tradition that goes back at least a four-digit number of years that marriage means one man and one woman! Like in Leave It To Beaver! Stories of forced marriage, polygamy etc. ARE just that! Stories! Never. Happened!!!!"
No one is stopping you from being married and having as many kids as you want.
No one is forcing you to abort babies in any way. (Don't even try you Tax-Dollars bullshit)
No one put your church in charge.
This is all you need to know to understand Pro-Choice with a common sense approach.
Hosea 13:16. Also, Solomon: 700 wives & 300 concubines. Newt Gingrich. Donald Fart. Not exactly Hume Cronym & Jessica Tandy, are they?
If that's what your 'Moral Arbiter' condones, then who needs a conscience ?
That's why my Common Sense is tingling. [/Deadpool]
But you deride being pro choice and pro non traditional marriage because you are a pompous ass.
What would be your answer if I told you that I am pro choice/ pro non traditional marriage because I have common sense and a conscience?
I'm pretty sure that I can quess.
Confused?
