How do you know? Were you there?

[AV1611VET]

so... what is your response to this line in the bible? will you discard it?

Exodus 21:22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

is the bible going to take a hike?

No, the Bible is not going to take a hike here.

If a man hits a woman and causes her to have a miscarriage; if the child lives, he should pay all expenses -- including punitive.

Pretty self-explanatory, eh?

Notice, it says "fruit", by the way, not "fetus"? God has a lot of respect for His creation.

Obviously not, because after a miscarriage the child dies, that's what a miscarriage is.

Premature birth then, or whatever the prevailing whitecoat term is.

 

[Nostromo]

Would you believe the audacity of those whitecoats, conveying ideas using words which are suitable.

Suitable for the goal.

Like calling a child a "fetus", thus mitigating cognitive dissonance.

Yes. If its a miscarriage its a still born. It is pretty self explanatory

 

[AV1611VET]

notice how it says miscarriage and not that its born early. It means its a stillborn.

Here, let me help you out with this:

Exodus 21:22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

If men hit their women and cause them to give birth, if the child lives, he will pay damages.

The next verse covers what happens if the child dies or is disfigured.

All hail and respect the mighty banana, for surely, it is the symbol of dignity in our land.

Why is fruit more respectful than fetus?

everyone knows what fruit is for. Eating.

 

[AV1611VET]

everyone knows what fruit is for. Eating.

And many fetuses are for removing, right?

 

[MoonLancer]

And many fetuses are for removing, right?

ask God how many natural abortions has he preformed. Its a number higher then babies born for sure.

 

[Nostromo]

Why are you so bothered when abortion is legal in Guam?

 

[dad]

Why are you so bothered when abortion is legal in Guam?

It isn't legal in God's eyes in Guam.

 

[AV1611VET]

ask God how many natural abortions has he preformed. Its a number higher then babies born for sure.

According to this formula:



... none.

 

[AV1611VET]

Why are you so bothered when abortion is legal in Guam?

God help us!

 

[Nostromo]

It isn't legal in God's eyes in Guam.

Says who?

 

[Nick665]

What do you mean ? 25-50% of all pregnancies end up as spontaneous abortions. What does this mean from your point of view concerning abortions and dear lord Allah ?

 

[AV1611VET]

What does this mean from your point of view concerning abortions and dear lord Allah ?

Nothing.
