To "Mose" -- I have a great idea for you. Why don't you just romp right out there and "defend" the **quadrillion** Stage One entities of the reproductive process (RPEs) that are electively aborted DAILY worldwide, by men? JUST like the other three stages, they are human, ALIVE, *potential* people, and have never experienced conscious awareness.

And, of course, anything that has never experienced conscious awareness **cannot** be either "innocent" OR "guilty." Any more than the average BRICK can.

But -- oh, yeah. You'd much RATHER seek to see **women** being FORCED to gestate UNwanted pregnancies to term against their will, wouldn't you? Even though what they do in their **personal** lives is absolutely NONE of your business, whatsoever.

You and your fellow ANTI-Choicers are real sweethearts!! (Not.)

Answer 1

Pretty devastating, I'd say. There's no question that it's a matter of property damage unless the woman is also harmed. That's why "Christian Moralists," in quotation marks because they are really neither, hate it when people actually read the Bible.

Their arguments only work when they can cherrypick verses and quote them out of context.

Answer 2

The unborn child like the slave and even born legitimate child(and to some degree the pregnant woman herself) was the property of the husband in the OT cultures

I find it helpful but not definitive unlike "Commit no murder"

I find Pro Abort religious folk to be desperate when they read permission to kill their preborn children into biblical texts. Of course, it is easier to find excuses to kill one's teenage children from at least one text in the OT to execute one's rebellious teens.

Answer 3

Regardless of the Bible, I will always beleive abortion is a sugar-coated murder.

Also it's in the old testiment,most of which doesn't apply to modern times,and they misquoted alot.

PS: It drives me crazy when I hear the words LEECH and FORCED in a pro choice argument.

Answer 4

What does your conscious tell you? To defend the LIFE of a defenseless unborn child or create some CONVENIENCE to its mother?

Answer 5

Verses taken Out of Context.... are Always a Pretext for ERROR!

..... SILLY..... RABBIT.... TRICKS... ARE... FOR.... " kids ! "

(Proverbs 26:4-5) Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

(Pro 26:5) Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

..... SILLY..... RABBIT.... TRICKS... ARE... FOR.... " kids ! "
