Some people who just don't know better like to think that killing an unplanned child means assuming responsibility. I don't know if that attitude existed before modern times, but I could take a guess that some heathens had almost exactly the same regard for their children as they had for cattle, which, if that was ever the case, would be a close match.
I just wanted to say that, and as a note - if you don't think that this is much of a discussion - I wanted to post it as an answer to a good thread in Edification (Christians Only), but posts regarding abortion are no longer allowed there, so it goes here instead.
You can discuss this if you want to. I know that there are different takes on this from various self-identifying Christians, especially those who think that Jesus spent a lot of time teaching about commandments that he would shortly make entirely irrelevant by his death. It's an absurd point of view, that's my opinion, not to mention that it's incompatible with any variant of Christianity deserving that name, and with this I have said my part:
Abortion is killing, and killing is condemned by Jesus:
Matthew 19
[SIZE=-2]16. [/SIZE]
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?[SIZE=-2]
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-2]17. [/SIZE]
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.[SIZE=-2]
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-2]18. [/SIZE]
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,[SIZE=-2]
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-2]19. [/SIZE]
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
If you say "that's not all", then I will reply that you are right, but there is no doubt about this: Jesus Christ our God teached us, his flock, that is Israel, that is Christians, the faithful, as a matter of salvation to keep the commandments.
