Even among pro-choice people, the support varies. As you say, men can be aggressive and dominating. So if men are somewhat more aggressive and women are not equally aggressive, if we can agree on that, then we need to take that into account before we submit the female to 16 years of submission to caring for her child.
I read a national survey showed most people who have abortions immediately feel relief. Hillary Clinton said during a presidential debate the decision to have an abortion is traumatic.
The Bible is clear that all marriages must be heterosexual, but I am not aware of verses that say being gay or lesbian itself is a sin as long as the person remains single and celibate. Can you cite some?
I never made that argument. Being gay and in a gay relationship with sexual activity is sinful. If someone is gay, they must be celebate according to Christianity or they are violating God's commandment.
A reminder for newcomers to this discussion: This is the "Whosoever Will, May Come - Liberal" forum. If you do not identify as liberal, please do not argue with the liberals who post here. You may, however, ask genuine questions with the purpose of understanding liberals better. Note, for example, how very careful and respectful Vesper_Jaye was in the original post.
Mainline Protestant churches have always regarded abortion as something that is not ideal, but sometimes something that women have a legitimate right to choose. It wasn't until the mid 70's that some Evangelicals began to change their position, influenced by a few Catholic political voices that tried to recruit conservative Evangelicals into what later became known as "the Religious Right".
Accepttance of gay persons started in the 60's quietly in Mainline Protestant churches in the US, and gradually grew to the point that the overwhelming majority of mainline Protestants accept gay people today.
