sympathy as a measure of intelligence

As a child grows if they can sense sympathy for others we can say that individual is expressing a certain level of intelligence. So if anyone can experience sympathy for others, they express it for all and not selectively for themselves or in an unbalanced way. Comparing their desires and comfort against another's life for instance. So if someone cannot sympathize with new life how can they sympathize with life that is older? They have to be intelligent so they can understand, identify or enjoy someone in the abstract. The higher the level of abstraction the higher the intelligence. Therefore we can conclude abortion would appeal to those who are selfish, concrete minded, and unsymathetic to others. If this is true we have to make peace with the conclusion with these people cannot experience sympathy to the same level nor think in the abstract to the same degree. Their views will carry over into politics for the most part and the same results should be seen there as well. The individual will not appear on their radar and the group will be manipulated to achieve their dreams for us all. The ideal of many decision makers will seem to be chaotic so they bring order to the scene by a select few deciding for everyone. Once we understand this we will see the danger of being offended by them, because to take any offense from them is to render ourselves offensive by the actual taking of any offenses. Therefore we extend our sympathy to them as well. If we can be sympathetic to a stranger it is more to our credit as to our level of intelligence than just being sympathetic to our friends.
