Abortion is a medical procedure that should ONLY be discussed between the woman & her doctor. I have no right to infringe in her privacy. I wouldnt want anyone to violate MY rights and tell me what to do with MY body. I have no right taking away a person's rights, born or unborn.
BUT, I am AGAINST abortion. I totally DESPISE abortion and if I were a woman Id never have one. BUT I am not a woman and would never know how it is to be one & wont JUDGE the circumstances of her abortion: whether she was raped, whether the pregnancy will endanger her or the baby, psychiatric problems etc. It is NOT my business. It is a sensitive medical issue btwn the patient & doctor, an MD.
Im not pretentious to think that others cant think for theirselves to be morally right. I've belief in other people & the choices they make. Taking away freedom to choose would kill the idealogy of what America stands for. I'm pro choice, since Jesus taught compassionate, love & not to judge.

I understand where you are coming from. I was very prochoice about a year ago, I have since changed alot but don't understand people that say things like the other posters. You don't hate God if you have the feelings you do and you are not serving two masters if you have the feelings you do, that is baloney! I have heard all those arguments as well, plus the murder comment, that will be next probaly! Just silly hogwash!
I also believe it would be a very scary thing to allow our government to become so involved in medical decisions. However, abortion is about ending a l potential ife, I get that, now, a year ago I was on the exact opposite side of the fence. Most who are prolife have NO clue what they speaking about, they have exxagerated info from prolife sites and it is ALL inflamed to make shocking headlines. It is not accurate or medically sound information. Again, I am not saying woman should necessarily have abortions however if the prolife camp wants to argue their point at least do so accurately. Furthermore, the bible does not say "do not abort" many will say it says "do not murder" not the same thing.
I would say that over half of this morally highground people who shout "no abortions, prolife" and then call women murders, need to examine their own lives for sin, because I would be willingly to bet most are drinking, using drugs, if not now have in the past, had a affair, had sex outside of marriage, lying, cheating, gambling in some fashion, etc.... but yet you can sit in judgment on someone elses life??
Furthermore, if you are not prepared to clothe, feed, and raise each and every would have been aborted baby/child/fetus/ (some are very sensitive to names) then you have NO right to say what happens to these babies/children/fetues.

Yeah, it sounds like a contradiction, but its not.
I am also against abortion, and will not choose to have one, but as far as someone being allowed to make their own mind up, well, God is the one who gave us each an individual brain, so I would figure that He expects each of us to make individual decisions with it. That said, I'm pretty sure God isn't all too happy that His decree was that each soul be born to flesh is ending up with all those souls being rejected and sent back to Him. When He comes back, I think thats gonna be an issue with Him. A big issue.

It sounds as though you are pro-choice, in that you are in favor of a woman's right to choose. That would not personally choose to have an abortion is not relevant. You are not interested in violating the rights of others, and I find that both refreshing and admirable. If you want to know what the religious views on it are, check them out, but if you wouldn't impose your views on others, be careful not to allow them to be imposed upon you.

Abortion is not a medical issue, nor is it a political issue...it is a Gospel issue. When your eyes are opened to the Truth, you will see things differently.
Those who have/had abortions are caught in a web of deception, and some will come to the knowledge of the truth before death, the rest after.

Basically, I agree with you. But I have an additional, or perhaps alternative, ground on which I would rest my analysis.
It is that we in the United States have the right, acting through our elected representatives, to criminalize abortion (within the confines of Roe v. Wade) or to decriminalize it. That is, we are not bound by our constitution to criminalize it; nor, having at any time criminalized it in whole or in part, are we forbidden to decriminalize it.
By the same token, we also have the right, again acting through our elected representatives, to determine how much power or authority we are willing to confer upon our law enforcement agencies to intrude into the most private recesses of our lives to enforce whatever prohibitions against particular acts, such as abortion, we have chosen to prohibit.
We are not bound by our constitution or anything else to confer upon government the maximum amount of power that we could constitutionally confer upon it. We are entitled to withhold from government as much of the power we might have granted to it as we choose to withhold.
We may even conclude that some acts, possibly including abortion in toto or under some circumstances, while anathema to us, cannot be policed and punished as a practical matter without our toleration of intrusion by law enforcement agencies into our private lives to an extent we deem intolerable; and therefore, for that reason alone, we are free to choose not to criminalize those acts.
We should never forget Jefferson's words in the Declaration of Independence to the effect that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.
In our dialogues with government (ordinarily conducted through the electoral process), we should be judicious in granting or withholding our consent regarding how much intrusion we are willing or not willing to tolerate from government and where the boundaries are that we will not permit it to cross. It is for us, not for government, to establish those boundaries.

You are either with God and against abortion or you are with satan/allah and you are for it. You cannot serve two masters.
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exodus 23:13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
3Judges 10:13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.

Well, I don't think so. The momment you make the choice of having sex is the momment you should learn to deal with the consequences. Once you bring into your body another life, it doesn't follow it becomes your property during that period of time, for she is affecting another.
I know you have a political ideology here, but please, spare us your strawman arguments filled with pseudo patriotism, an appeal to emotions, equivocations, and your obvious cherry picking of the bible.
