Matthew 5:7
7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Won't Judgment Day be interesting! I suspect the abortionists will get an eternal dose of their own medicine.
Maybe people should be able to risk their souls if they wish to.
YOUR RIGHT. There can be no comprise. We are debating this issue because some believe the fetus is a living human being and deserves personhood
and some people do not believe they are anything until born, until somewhere between who knows
.its different for them all as to when the fetus automatically becomes something to save. If you believe that the unborn in the womb is a person
..how on earth does anyone think a compromise could be reached. Its ludicrous
really. It either is a person or its not. That is why the Democratic party seeks to seat people on the Supreme Court who are pro-choice to stop Republicans from appointing someone who wants to give personhood to the unborn. Once this happens
abortion is legalized killing.
I understand that you find this an uncompromising issue, so I would like to say that in that case you shouldn't have an abortion, but it should be other peoples right to do the wrong thing if they so wish. But of course you will think that is murder and therefore shouldn't be choice. To which I will reply that it isn't a person because it has no consciousness, you will say it has a soul: stalemate.
Well those of us who are pro-life give the unborn personhood. It should start with that
.a living human being and protecting it. How could we possibly reach a compromise? What do you think we should compromise on? Kill some unborns but let others live
.like a lottery?
Well I think it should be based on choice. Judith Jarvis Thomson makes an interesting argument that abortion is morally permissible even if the child is a person.
Even before Roe
women got safe abortions in doctors offices. That coat hanger thing rarely happened. Even Planned Parenthood stated this in their information. Should we allow abortion just because a few women might do it themselves.
I don't know the history of 'Roe...' very well, but how did they get abortions before that? Was it legal? I think if we went back to having abortion illegal then more people would have illegal and possibly dangerous ones because abortion is now part of the culture. It's something people expect.
In that case lets legalize drugs and hand out needles to our kids in school.
Well I'm ok with drugs being legal, or at least the relatively safe ones. Taking drugs obviously shouldn't be promoted though, just as smoking or drinking is promoted.
Lets provide places for them to have sex
and supervise it so there won't be rapes.
I think legalising prostitution and creating brothels would do a good job of this.
Its their bodies anyway so anything should be allowed. Even woman who want to make money from abortions
by selling fetal body parts. Its not a baby doesn't have personhood so why should this be illegal?
Ok, this is a bit too far. You might not want to push me too far on this issue though, as thinking about it might convince me otherwise. Sorry, I know that sounds terrible to you. I don't think that should be legal though.
You would have said it was legal to kill my niece who was born at one pound at 23 1/2 weeks. Have you ever seen an ultrasound at this gestational age? I can't believe you would say this
really.
Possibly. Nothing personal against her, I say it considering myself. I don't know if I have seen the pictures. I'm not interested in emotional pictures though, I want the facts. Please don't think me heartless, I just don't think the way something looks always conveys the truth.
Do you think as a baby gets bigger so does it rights? Like does a nine month old
worth less than a two year old? Does a five year old have less rights to live as a sixteen year old? Do I have more rights than you should have because I am older?
It is because it's mind is becoming more conscious, not its size.
It seems to me as the unborn grows in the womb and starts to look the part
.this pulls at the heartstrings of the pro-aborts because then viability becomes a factor. Then they enslave the woman by telling her that she has no rights to her body. How logical is that?
I admit that the look of the child can pull the heartstrings, but that isn't the reason for my position. I think personhood is found in the mind, and as the mind of the child becomes that of a person it also gains the rights of a person.
