No, sorry I don't have any children so it will not be for me. But I will most likely instigate it.

Ah of course! I've noticed those that advocate the extermination of certain people never includes themselves.

But what will you do with the rampart overpopulation?

I am not worried about that. As I said, I believe abortion is a sin. I have never been party to one nor do I ever expect to be party to one. I believe we are judged by our personal behavior, not what we think about our government's behavior. Believe me I am quite imperfect and have plenty of things I need to focus on in my own life other than abortion. If I get into trouble on judgment day, I suspect it will be over those things, not abortion.

I will say I resent your implication that I need worry about Hell because of what I believe about the limits of government should be in a free country. I find your post judgmental and uncharitable.

Seeking, no, no, I 'm not judgmental nor uncharitable to you, I'm telling you the Truth.

You say that you "believe abortion is a sin". "I have never been a party to one". Good! However, Yes, we will be judge by our own personal behavior and we will be judge on judgement day for not lifting a finger, to do away with abortion.

Genesis 4: 9And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother(BABIES IN THE WOMB) Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?

Seeking, Yes! you, me all of us Christians, are your Brothers keeper.

You know adding bits to the Bible is condemned in the Bible, whereas abortion isn't?

Armoured, from one Catholic to another. Are you speaking to me?

If so, Do you agree, abortion is Murder? If so you do agree, abortion is the same as Murder, then where am I adding "bits to the Bible"?

Do you believe that "Thou shall not Kill", did not mean abortion?

I think I will leave judgment criteria to God, thank you very much.

Abortion isn't murder. I don't believe it's a good thing, and I will be extatic the day no one seeks to have a voluntary abortion. We can say abortion is immoral, unethical, wrong, unjust, and a whole host of other things. It's not murder, though.

Sorry! I got you confused with someone else. I had a GIF avatar that he really didn't like. He wanted me to change it, so I did.

If it really is all those things, then what one-word label would be best to put on it? People would argue with infanticide, manslaughter, or anything else. It seems like it's the only type of killing of an innocent human (who gets no say in the matter) that gets nice sounding labels such as "A woman's choice" or "Reproductive health care".

Understandable. Bear in mind that I don't nose around other peoples avatars, unless it's to compliment someone's exquisite taste.

Maybe it's time to realize that Scripture is NOT derogatory toward women, which is what the whole issue is about. Men and women were created equal in the eyes of God, and there is neither male nor female in Christ Jesus. Women should not be discriminated against because of who they are.

If you want to go on about the killing of babies, God not only killed the firstborn of Egypt but permitted many, many other babies to be killed in both Testaments. For example, you can talk about John the Baptizer leaping in Elizabeth's womb, but you can't forget that God allowed Herod to murder untold young male children. Matthew 2:6-18, "Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:

“A voice was heard in Ramah,
weeping and loud lamentation,
Rachel weeping for her children;
she refused to be comforted, because they are no more.”

Please stop the patronizing of women and denying their status as equals. It's contrary to scripture

Killing was by man exercising the choice God gives everyone.

Luke 1:41-44, for example: "When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit . . . . As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy."

The quoted Bible verse describes fetuses in the womb as babies, or in other words living humans.

There are some liberal Christians out there who believe that a woman has the right to choose an abortion if her pregnancy is inconvenient, not realizing that everyone deserves a chance at life. How do these left-wing Christians reconcile their pro-abortion views with Bible scripture that teaches life begins at conception?

Coat-hanger abortions for women just don't sit well with me.

So, what abortion methods do you prefer?

Safe, legal, and rare.

Safe for whom - the mother or the child? In China there are multiple legal forms of abortion, all of which are considered to be safe.

They always claim that if we don't give them their preferred method of killing their baby, then we "force" them to do it some other way.

That's what I call "Choice".

Pretty much. It’s some really sick behavior, tbh.

God's choice, not man's.
