Pro-lifers: Just out of curiousity...?

Question

Are you anti-euthanasia, too? Why/why not?
Equally, are you anti-capital punishment?
And just as a third, demographic thing: What do you consider your faith to be?

This isn't some tricksey liberal commie pinko gay atheistic question, incidentally. Not trying to make anyone look hypocritical or anything.

Answer 1

Sadly most pro-lifers fail to realize that a person's right to DNR, euthanasia, the right to accept and reject any medical treatment actually came from the Roe v Wade case. If the right to abortion is taken away there is a chance that DNR, euthanasia and a person right to accept or refuse medical treatment will be taken away.

One more thing to add: I think abortion is wrong HOWEVER, taking away a woman's right to choose is wrong and I object to that.
A woman has the right to make any and all medical decisions concerning her body.

Edit:
Yeah killing an unborn child who could have grown up to be the one who cures all illness but at the same time one could also argue that the unborn child could also grow up to be the next hitler, that argument goes both ways people.

Answer 2

About abortion. I had one and regret it! I grieve for that child! I was young, stupid and uneducated about it. It was an "easy fix" for a stupid mistake. If I had been told ALL the reprocutions I would not have done it. I think most that are for abortion have never had one so they do not know the full extent of what it will do to them mentally and/or physically.
I believe it's used as a birth control and not a birth choice! Once someone has that second abortion, it's birth control and it's murder. If you didn't figure out how you got pregnant the first time and how to prevent it then the second go around you should be made to have the choice of adoption or keeping the child.
I would now counsel any young or old that is considering it by telling them the WHOLE truth! Those clinics DO NOT prepare you for everything. They don't care. They just want your money.
You can't compare capital punishment with abortion. The criminal made his/her own choice to do right or wrong and should be punished. But an unborn child is given no choice in the matter.

Answer 3

I am now mostly against capital punishment, except in cases where it can be established as an absolute fact through multiple witnesses and evidence, and or may be a confession, but not solely a confession. In ancient Hebrew society there had to be two witnesses inorder to convict a person of murder, this way you could interrogate to see if the two testamonies contradicted or agreed. There are too many mistakes being made now, so I am against capital punishment. But if someone tries to rob my house he is going to get shot, because what if a robber comes into my house to take away my diningroom table and he acidentally kills my baby? So I can not tollerate a robber comming into my house.

There is nothing wrong with giving someone who is dying some doseages of drugs, but the body also releases endorphins naturally in such cases just before death, so to give someone high dosages should be at the discretion of knowledgable and responsible doctors. Euthanasia is basically wrong, because as long as a person is alive there is yet a chance, however small, that that person could become saved.

I do not believe in a double standard for infants in the womb and adults. What I do believe in is educating people so that they hold to some basic teachings of morality, weather it be Native American teachings, Lao Tzu or Confusus (sp?), the Bible, Koran/Haddiths. People elect officials into our governments and then complain that government is corrupt, and then when some ask these candidates something about what their moral standards are based upon, people cry out "we should not care what religion they are, religion is not a qualifier for office." May be it is not, but the question is what is their morality based upon, nobody knows, because few are taught about moralilty, and then we wonder why our officials are corrupt, corrupt to the point where they will even disrespect and despise the oval office, showing themselves to be unworthy of such a place by far.

Summary:
against capital punishment, except in high crimes where absolute fact is established twice over, and except in cases where self defense is used (though not used against the defenseless or those who have not committed a crime).

Against euthanasia.

Pro-privacy, but pro-family (which means the man is the leader and the couple are partners, neither subordinate, but the man is the leader; some are not able to understand this because of the detremental times we live in). I don't think any husband would let his wife get an abortion.
There is still an issue here but I have not time.
The issue is not defined properly in debates yet.

My faith is what the Bible outlines, Jesus is God who created the universe and said "let us make man in our own image."

Answer 4

All of these, including pro-life, depends on the situation for me. For example, in the case of rape, I don't think it's mentally healthy for a woman in that situation to undergo the whole term unless she chooses to.

Euthanasia, I'm not totally clear on, since is it considered that to pull the plug on someone who is brain-dead? If so, then I am for THAT, but not assisted suicide by means of drugs.

The death penalty... Hmm... I can see cases where it is warranted, but I would HATE to be the one who has to decide that. That's another human life, no matter what they've done.


I'm Christian.

Answer 5

Yes antiabortion and anti killing off the sick,old and weak"burdens" because I am fairly old,been sick and i donot want to be "thirsted unto death" or starved because i am a "drain on resources". Palliative care not euthanasia.

Yes Anti death penalty I am

I am Catholic Christian and I have a consistent 'seemless garment" pro life ethic

I know that a person cannot be a believing Christian and be pro-abortion/pro choise since that is completely incompatible with belief in the Incarnation(becoming embryo,fetus,child,etc) of God the Word

I cannot see how one can be Buddhist or Hindu(Ahimsa) and pro abort or a Jew or Muslim or Wiccan(Harm None) and pro abortion

Answer 6

I'm a believer that's pro-life but I do not believe abortion should be illegal. I think euthanasia has it's place, but where do you draw the line. I am for capital punishment.

Answer 7

I am for following the laws of God. If we do that, then all of the rest becomes moot. I am pro-life. However, I think abortion should be made retroactive in some cases. My faith is Christian.

Answer 8

The answer is at the beginning of the question WE are PRO-LIFE. Capital punishment is too loop holed ask OJ.
It needs to be fixed before anyone should support it.

Answer 9

Yes. All killing is wrong.

Yes.

I belong to a remnant church that follows the teachings of Yeshua Messiah [pbuh] and the Laws of the Brotherhood.

Peace be with you.
