The catechism states(paragraph 1900, Catechism of the Catholic Church):

1900: The duty of obedience requires all to give due honor to authority and to treat those who are charged to exercise it with respect, and, insofar as it is deserved, with gratitude and good-will.

Pope St. Clement of Rome provides the Church's most ancient prayer for political authorities: "Grant to them, Lord, health, peace, concord, and stability, so that they may exercise without offense the sovereignty that you have given them. Master, heavenly King of the ages, you give glory, honor, and power over the things of earth to the sons of men. Direct, Lord, their counsel, following what is pleasing and acceptable in your sight, so that by exercising with devotion and in peace and gentleness the power that you have given to them, they may find favor with you."

What is wrong with making a person view an ultrasound before getting an abortion? Are pro choicers afraid it would alter the views of everyone who gets abortions. I am not pro choice, I am a person who feels like everyone should know EXACTLY what they are doing with ANY medical situation in their body. And I think it is misinformation to tell a person that it is only tissue being removed. I do believe a person does have a choice in the situation, but I think they should still know what they are really doing. If they find these facts out later, it could cause more serious regret issues and more serious depression issues. The fact is...an ultrasound will show a full skeleton including fingers, toes at eleven weeks (Less than3 months) How do I know? I got one at 11 weeks and saw my baby girl waive her arms and move around, and suck her thumb.

Why do you get to preach human rights?
In the Western Inudstrialized world you are both the only country that has the death penalty (executes more per/pop'ln (% of its citizens than ANY other country inc. China and Saudi Arabia) and...does not give its citizens universal health care.
So, my question? Where do you get off preaching and boasting endlessly and flag waving and chanting USA, USA endlessly...about being the beacon of human rights and freedom in the world?
The rest of the West is laughing at you...and the rest of the 2nd 3rd world hates you.
Sorry, but it's true. Deal with it.

My son's father wants me to sign an agreement that my son will not ever call anyone else but him father. My son is almost 8 and has always known who is father is, even before he actually met him two years ago. Now I had been married from the time he was 2 until he was 4. He called him dad then I met my daughter's father and he called him by his first name. Now my fiancee has been in his life for almost two years. He loves him so very much as does my fiancee. Is there a legal aspect that could let this actually be put into place?

what is the difference between a contingent contract and a normal contract?

2007-06-26 18:12:44 · 5 answers · asked by Anonymous in Law & Ethics

OK, I'll jump into the debate.

The anti-abortion crew hold to the moral belief that life begins at conception. We are a nation of laws. So, if life begins at conception, which of the following would you allow a week-old fetus to get:

1) A Social Security Card
2) Life Insurance
3) A deduction on its parents' taxes
4) A passport.

If the fetus is a child and a citizen at conception, it should be eligible for all of these things. If you do not think a fetus should be eligible for all of these things, then you belive that a fetus is NOT legally a person.

If a fetus is not legally a person, then the question of abortion becomes a moral issue.

Do you really want the government to be in the position to tell us what is moral and what is not?

I was in Wal-Mart today and there was this older guy that had on his Vietnam veteran hat. So, the cashier asks the guy how long he fought in the war and so forth and the guy behind him says something to the effect of "that war was a crock we had no bussiness being their it reminds me a lot of the war that those assholes (referring to the troops) are fighting right now." I do not support the war in Iraq I have been against it from the very begining but stop the madness. These men and women were willing to risk their lives for his sorry ***. Leave their families, their children behind knowing that they may never return. And he doesnt even appreciate it. You dont have to agree with the war but you can give them moral support, for crying out loud. I had to get that off my chest because its been irking me all day.

I think they are just back tracking to cover their own guilt.

Either that or they are selfish cowards who can only pick on innocent babies.

A fetus as hands, fingers, and toes at just ten weeks.

Look at www.abortiontv.com and look at pictures of slaughtered babies and then tell me what you think.

Fearful people are more dependent, more easily manipulated and controlled, more susceptible to deceptively simple, strong, tough measures and hard-line postures. ... They may accept and even welcome repression if it promises to relieve their insecurities.
