Christians are pro-life because we believe in the sanctity of all human life. A preborn baby at any stage.....

Question

has the right to live. We feel it's as much our business as it was when the Jews were being executed in Europe.

If a person wants to hurt their own body, then so be it...unless it means hurting someone else's body, even if that body hasn't fully developed.

Pro-choice people say women should have the right to do with their own body whatever they want and that no one has the right to tell them otherwise......yet they feel they have the right to KILL an innocent baby. That's messed up.

It's all about selfishness and convenience. In nearly all abortions, the baby has a beating heart. People are pronounced dead when their heart stops beating. When you cause the heart of an innocent being to stop, it's murder, plain and simple.

That's why some people think it's their business. Why do we have the right to say WHEN a baby has the right to live? or when it's a baby. How does the law or a man or the mother or anyone know when the fetus growing inside the mother is a baby?

This is my question...again....how or why does anyone know when it's a baby?....
Read the last part of what I wrote.

By the way, I am against the death penalty. Jesus told the people whoever had not sinned to cast the first stone. By law, she was suppose to receive the death penalty. So, I believe Jesus was not for the death penalty.

The baby's heart begins to beat at 18 days and is pumping it's own blood, different from his mother's at 21-22 days, which is less than a week from missing her last period.

wow!!! some of these comment are amazing... I'm also not a republican....and even if I were, I would not be a Bush supporter...so somebody else needs to get off their soap box!!!

Until we DO know what constitutes life....shouldn't we play it safe and not take the life...since we don't all agree or know .

Answer 1

I couldn't agree with you more.
What I have always wondered, is how people can say that a baby's not alive until a certain point, when the two cells that form the baby are alive...and you are right..it is messed up!

Answer 2

If you're American, please don't get on a soap box about the Jews in Europe during WW2. America was advised of the extermination camps way before they entered the war & chose to do what they always seem to do if it doesn't affect their own interests: Nothing.
As the the abortion issue that seems to come up everytime there's an election, what right has anyone to tell me or anybody else what to do with my reproductive organs? Certainly not you, the church, the republican party, or anyone else that has their own views on the issue.
The day we stop killing any living thing for food, fun, oil prices, corporate advancement etc etc etc, is the day that the majority can go to the polls & vote on this issue once & for all. It would be interesting to see the results of a global poll that asks the question: 'should abortion be legal or made illigal'.

Answer 3

Simple answer: No one really knows...

Long answer: Some cultures gave the mother a year to kill of her baby...it was pretty pitiful thing. the argument here is whether or not a beating heart constitutes life or consciousness. Morally speaking, I am with you, I believe there are alternatives to most abortion cases. The real problem though is asking rhetorical questions to people who will attempt answer. I respect your strength, and being against abortion I feel that Roe V. Wade was a great travesty. But until there is a consensus of what constitutes life this will be a battle that is hard fought and harder won. Open discussion without burning bridges.

Answer 4

when i was living without God i was a miserable drunk and drug addict. i was miserable and still am sometimes but when i came to Christ that is when i felt joy, happiness and love. before then i knew nothing of the sort. God didn't put me in prison, or cause me to destroy families with poisons, misery loves company and i was miserable so i did all that i did to have company and to make other people miserable so i wouldn't be the only one i did on my own. God never made me do anything i didn't want to do and i was miserable. but once i step into the light my life has never been so better. i am by far perfect sin daily but i have a relationship with Jesus and when i do sin its not as often because i am turning from that sinful life. Jesus knows i will never be perfect and i know it but i try to do the next right thing and tell what Christ has done for me. the mere fact that im still alive shows God is a loving caring God with my best interest at hand, cause what i was doing (you know living life) i was killing myself and wasting away. i was no use to anyone except cause pain and misery

Answer 5

Is anyone's mind gonna change here? Are you open to changing your mind about any of this? Do you honestly think supporters of legal abortion will change theirs? I am puzzled why we periodically randomly suddenly choose sides, yell at each othrer awhile, then disperse feeling we are right and they are wrong and wait for someone to start the next random yell.
I challenge someone to start a reasonable open discussion about abortion and others to join it in the same spirit. I am a Christian. I believe abortion is tragic and every abortion represents a failure. I also support legal abortion. I believe life is a gift from God and sanctity of life extends to all the devalued lives in our own society, to the children, mothers, families in Iraq, I do not claim to have all God's wisdom about life, what it is, when it begins, when it ends. humans have had very different ideas about that through history. In a couple hundred years we may be seen as misinformed as we currently consider those who attributed all illness to evil spirits.

Answer 6

What about the baby that dies because it doesn't have enough to eat? Or the unborn children that get die in their mother's womb during wars? If we Christians believed in pro-life so much, why are we allowing the deaths of babies and turning the other way? Is it a case of "Out of sight, out of mind?"

There are millions upon millions of Christians world wide yet we won't do anything about it.

Answer 7

Genesis 2:7 --when he breathed. Why do anti-abortionists claim sanctity of life as a reason (a good one actually) but don't help the people who are already here? If life is to be sanctified, then ALL of it should be.
This is not to be meant as an attack, but a challenge and a plea to help those who are already here.

Answer 8

So if the mother were to develop health conditions leading to probable death if the pregnancy were to continue, that's still alright. Kill the mother because an unborn child has more right to live? Sounds pretty ludicrous to me. But it was a nice rant you had going there.

Answer 9

Pro life?

Do you mean Pro-Life:

As in: Supporting the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis?

As in: Supporting a death penalty when it is known that innocent people are routinely executed?

As in: Bombing Planned Parenthood clinics and killing people?

As in: Fighting against birth control and pre- and neo-natal care for those who cannot afford it?

As in: B!tching about abortion for others, but having you own?

As in: B!tching about abortion, but never adopting a child or doing anything positive about it?

As in: Oppose healthcare for those who cannot help themselves?

As in: Support mandatory prison sentences for non-violent criminals, including those suffering from addiction, disease, and mental illness?

As in: Let the mentally ill fend for themselves on the streets?

You had better pray that there is no god, or there will be a lot to answer for.

Good point. I meant to include it also, but forgot. Thanks.

Answer 10

Lots of Christians are pro choice. You open your whole statement with a sweeping generalization and an outright falsehood.
