Judging Judgmentalism Bad

There is a ridiculous meme going around social media that essentially says...

"If you don't like abortion, don't get one."
"If you don't like gay marriage, don't marry the same sex."
"If you want your kids learning about creationism, take them to church."

And on it goes with other utterly dazzling and devestating pieces of "argument." Who needs The Republic when all one needs is a meme?

The underlying issue is that of judgmentalism. Obviously the people who wrote and promote this nonsense think that other people are trying to harsh on their freedoms. The logic, if we can be generous and call it that, of the claim is that the people who affirm such ideas as "abortion is wrong" are clearly doing so only because they seek to limit the freedoms of other people. It couldn't possibly be because they want to defend the freedoms of innocent unborn human beings. Clearly their only motivation is that they are judgmental.

And when it comes to gay marriage, clearly people like me are judgmental and racist! Nobody dares to think that perhaps the reason some people oppose gay marriage is because they think it wrong for society and they have reasons to think so.

To expose how silly the reasoning here is, one need only change the wording slightly.

"If you don't like killing newborns, then don't."
"If you don't like polygamy, then don't marry a bunch of women."
"If you don't like creationism, then take your kids to a meeting of terribly enlightened atheists."

Is it judgmental and harsh for a person to argue against my right to kill newborns or practice polygamy? Is it limiting someone's right to freely express himself/herself?

The point here is that everyone makes judgments. The real question is this: Are we making sound judgments? To suggest that some Christians have been brutal in their judgments is both obvious and also irrelevant to what I am saying here.

Surely it is appalling to others to hear people make sweeping proclamations against judgments, as if judgments are categorically evil. Thoughtful people can recognize how ridiculous it is to exclude judgments from the realm of ethical life.

If I say loudly that I don't want my daughters to live like Miley Cyrus, I will no doubt be quietly condemned by many people who will judge me for being judgmental. So then, do these people who are judging me to be judgmental of others not want their children to be like me? The point is that all people make judgments, and they judge not just ideas, but other people. They promote various exemplary people and condemn the lives of others. The question is not whether or not this is a wise practice. The question is whether or not it is being done wisely!
