"Jesus Would Not Approve Of Abortions" President Carter

[Jase]

The funny thing is... abortion isn't new. There was abortion in bibical times.. and yet jesus never managed to speak about it.

Wonder why?

And under Jewish law, abortion is sometimes required (health of the mother being the primary case).

The Talmud is actually quite graphic of what should be done with a fetus who is threatening the mother's life.

My question is, if Jesus opposes abortion so strongly, why do half of all pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion before the woman even knows she's pregnant?

Didn't God knit those 50% in the womb? Isn't their demise under God's control?

Child sacrifice has been mentioned numerous times in The Bible... it is FORBIDDEN...

That's nice.

Abortion existed in bibical times and it's not mentioned in the bible.

And they were apparently smarter than some folks here who don't understand the difference between abortion and child sacrifice.

Why would anyone like the thought of killing a baby,that was meant to be here.That's the problem I have with abortion,but I would never make someone feel bad for getting one.

I don't like the thought of killing a fetus. I don't think it was meant to be hear though.

To be fair, it's not my wife, but her mother. Before my wife was born, my mother in law had an ectopic pregnancy and needed to abort.

Ectopic pregnancy is not a viable pregnancy.

The arguement of abortion needs to be limited to viable/elective abortions.

Did Ex-Pres.Carter quote a verse?

God creates all life, so I agree God would not approve of abortion.

To make elective abortion illegal, it will take both sides to do it.

 

[Paradoxum]

God creates all life, so I agree God would not approve of abortion.

What does that mean? Does God create children with horrible genetic defects? Does he suspend the laws of physics to create this life, or interfere with free will?

Indeed.

Pro-lifers have some seriously misplaced priorities. There are much more prolific "abortion providers" than Planned Parenthood in existence, according to them.

So never?

Dang, this is going to get annoying.

I like to think that if you do see anyone in Hell, it'll be the person most opposed to your views. So imagine that for all eternity.

there use to be a time in (not so long ago) when Americans participated in the primaries of both Parties. Unlike most countries that have multiple Parties to reflect the peoples' true views we are only stuck with 2.
Couple that with the fact that almost no one in this country votes (we historically have the lowest voter turn out) and you are left with both Parties essentially being controlled by fringe elements & big corporate business.
The poor of this nation need the Democratic Party. There will always be those who are downtrodden and disabled. And in a country separated by church & state and with a growing number of atheists who reject the Church we must have a Party that espouses the issues of the poor....

Why would I want to do that? Most abortions happen extremely early, and I see nothing wrong with that. You could make a case for late term abortions, but those only happen rarely and with great need anyway.

How long is it gunna take for people to get over abortion?

Why should people of good conscience "get over" abortion?

They need a splinter to avoid their log.

I added my opinion. Problem? Wait, don't tell me. I don't care.

Yeah, not caring is pretty much the problem. People claim to hate abortion, but don't care enough to do anything to stop it. They just throw tantrums when it happens. Occasionally shoot or bomb somebody to show how much they love life. But really, people who claim to be offended by abortion are even more offended by the things it would take to lower the abortion rate (giving kids and teens real information about sex, making birth control easily accessible, destigmatizing single motherhood and offering government assistance to help in such situations), so throwing tantrums is the most they can do. Because whatever they say, they just don't care enough about abortion to want to do anything effective about it.

Because they don't care enough to do anything about it, and other people are sick of their tantrums.
