Christians, if you actually believe that we have a "right" to life then do the following for me...?

Question

Head out to sea and jump out of a speeding boat. Now after a few hours of treading water, you will become tired. When it becomes clear that you will drown soon, start talking about your "right" to live.
You do keep harping about the "rights" of the unborn right? Where have your "rights" gone when your splashing on the ocean about to drown?
The fact is, there is NO "right" to life. None. We all have the same chances. Sometimes you roll the dice and get boxcars, sometimes you get snake-eyes.
But to get upset about it and spew nonsense about someone's "right" to life just serves to illustrate how very, very stupid you all are...

Wow did some of you not get it. Tell you what, the crowd with the "can I come to your place and shoot you in the head... blah blah blah" argument go to the back of the class. A special ed teacher will come by later to explain it to you all with puppets and really, really small words...

Answer 1

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

I like your logic too, and maybe with the pretty picture-ike example they might actually understand what you said too!

Answer 2

If you jump out of a speeding boat, that was your right. Right? You've chosen to give up your right to life. An unborn child is completely defenseless and it was only because of the actions of the parents that it was brought into being in the first place. It SHOULD have the right to the life they brought into being. Of course, that's in a perfect world where there aren't any selfish people thinking only of how their lives will change because of a baby they didn't want. Guess that's what makes an adult and adult...they THINK about what the possible consequences of their actions are and then they take responsibility for them.

Answer 3

That's a completely bogus argument.

Murder is wrong, and if someone commits murder the person they murdered is still dead--but that doesn't make murder right.

Another thing, in your example, you have the person taking action into their own hands and placing their own lives in danger. In the case of abortion, the mother going in for the abortion is in little danger but the baby is going to be killed and that baby has no choice in the matter.

There is indeed the right to life, and it is clearly stated in our Declaration of Indepenence. "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is one of the most famous phrases in the United States Declaration of Independence. It is listed as one of the "unalienable rights" of man.

Your comment about how we all have the same chances is also completely bogus. I got the chance to live to age 37 as of now, and hopefully much longer. But babies that were aborted did not get that chance and never saw the light of day.

Y'know, if you want to support abortion, you can at least pick some arguments that make sense. They are out there...

Answer 4

i wonder what happened to make you so angry - your posting really makes little sense. no unborn child ahs jumped into the middle of an ocean. he or she was conceived and began to grow and develop in what should be a safe place. what the issue at hand (i presume, correct me if i am wrong) is that u believe the "right to life" is untrue.
consider this - you have the right to swing your arms all around - but your liberty ends when my body begins. the question is not abt right to life, but abt right to kill. should 1 person be permitted to kill another because he or she is inconvenient? if so, should we as a society, kill all disabled or mentally retarded persosn we feel cause a drain on societal resources? i do not think so,
an unborn baby is not part of her mother - she has her own blood, her own body, her own everything. she is not a "potential person", she is a person. personhood is not defined by age or state of development but by membership in the human species. it is dangerous when people in power are free to determine whether other, less powerful individuals lives are meaningful

Answer 5

I am by no means a Christian, and I think you make a good point. However, I don't believe that someone has the "right" to smash your skull in before you are born. I don't believe that abortion should be used as birth control, the way it is 99 percent of the time. I believe that you should take responsibility for ALL of your actions. Deal with the consequences.

Answer 6

So you advocate the murder of helpless children? Interesting.

You example is interesting. If we go jump out in the water, we chose to do that. Did the unborn child choose to get aborted? What's wrong with you argument is that is shows you have no heart, no morals and that's not what a Christian is so we can't be like you.

Answer 7

This makes no sense at all. If I'm stupid enough to jump out of a speeding boat, I guess I'd be stupid enough to have unprotected sex.
I would be willing to bet that 99% of women that have abortions,
a. know how babies are made
b. have access to birth control.
c. have a CHOICE to not be in the situation that got them there.
d. have a CHOICE to use birth control.
e. have a CHOICE to say "no"
f. have little self control in many areas in their life.
g. had to scrape together money to pay for the abortion.
h. made a CHOICE to stop a human heart from beating.

Personally, I've only gotten pregnant when I was ready to have a baby. I CHOOSE to not get pregnant.
I would CHOOSE to not go out to sea in a speeding boat.
I would CHOOSE not to jump out....hello?

As far as my "right" to live....I live because God wants me to. When He's ready to take me....I'm ready for Heaven!

Answer 8

Your "logic" incorrectly compares a self-inflicted "accident" to a deliberate killing of another human being. An aborted baby is not killed by "chance" but by an intentional act.

You might make some sense if your scenario included someone pushing you out of the boat -- in which case I bet you'd be hollering about your own "right to life."

Answer 9

Ok, then how about I come over to your place and shoot you in the head 17 times. Since there is no "right" to live, I don't see why I would get punished for it. And I'm sure you wouldn't mind, if it's just the luck of the draw....

Answer 10

No thanks. I value life enough not to endanger my own. I believe in consequences to actions.

I would have forfeited my "right to life" when I leaped out of the boat on a dare.

If you don't believe in "right to life" does that mean that you don't believe that murderers should be prosecuted? After all, no one has the right to live?

Call me stupid if you want. But if I see someone threatening your life, I'm going to do whatever is in my power to protect your right to life. Even if the only option available to me is dialing 911. I think it's morally wrong not to. And if I'm not mistaken, in most states of the union, it's illegal not to at least report it.

Answer 11

Taking a live and committing suicide are to different things!! I think the example is more like this: If you toOK your 1yr old child and headed out to your sea and threw him over board then left him there to die. That child couldn't tell you he wants to live, he couldn't even fight for his life, because you would over power him. That would be considered murder!! Also if your mother didn't choose life you wouldn't of been able, put in your question... to set us straight.
I just want to say something else, if it's ok with you! I have had to abortions. I have to live with this for the rest of my life. If I would of known that my freedom of choice was going to haunt me for the rest of my life, plus the physical problems it caused. I would of let my children live! They had a right to life and I didn't give it to them. No example that you can give, nothing you can say, or your insults that your give. Is going to steer me from the true, because you see I've been there and done that!! How about you? Thank God for His forgiveness and his healing power. I could not of been able to live with myself without Him (Jesus)
