The Mother is harmed physically and physcologically the rest of her life. The baby is harmed because it is being killed. One dead, the other mentally ruined..It also puts the mother and the doctor(including all her supporters) in a extreme state of mortal sin. If the mother dies during having an abortion she will almost surely go to Hell, because she is dying in a state of mortal sin(unless by some miracle she is repentant and has contrition right before she dies in that very little amount of time)..

The harm definatly outweighs anything else. Death, murder, mental pain, mortal sin, risk of death by hemmorage and possible damnation..

The harm is entirely induced by the extremists. There is no sin whatsoever in obtaining an abortion.

The majority of Christians disagree.

Unfortunately, this is not true. The majority of Christians today are liberal and liberal theology is quite a slippery slope.

I'm unsure about abortion.
But I'm sure about sex!
16 yr olds shouldnt be having sex anyway! Someone once said if you're not ready for a baby you shouldnt be having sex, and I strongly support this.
Just some advice: don't get in the habit of condemning without knowing the circumstances.

Sex is not always voluntary, especially in parts of the world (or in this country) where women are traditionally treated as second-class people. Sometimes a woman does everything she's supposed to, and still ends up with a pregnancy she can't handle.

Thuis would be better accomplished if we canned the deceptive and nonfunctioning "abstinence only" curricula.

Actually no. Even on some polls most Catholics agree abortion is best determined by the woman and her medical providers; the busybodies and the men in dresses need to stay out of it.

Jesus Christ is a liberal so that is certainly not unfortunate, in fact it is quite the opposite.

The "slippery slope" is a falacious argument engaged in by the timorous.

True. But except in places like Italy where the RCC's relationship to culture is unique, from Argentina to Spain people are ignoring the pompous pronouncements of the hierarchy on this and so many other issues with good reason.

Honey, Jesus Christ would make the Conservatives look Liberal. Get real. He fulfilled the law for goodness sake. How liberal can that be?

Whether or not the baby knows its being harmed doesn't change the fact that it is being harmed, does it?

Actually, this is a very complicated philosophical question. Under certain circumstances (one being death), not being aware of being harmed, might actually eliminate the harm done. Just sayin', it's not cut and dry.

Jesus, like many other people, was probably both Liberal and Conservative. He abided by many of the Jewish Laws (and seemed to be very Conservative in many of His actions). But He also changed many of the Laws (He was willing to walk more than was allowed to help someone, He said that all people, not just Jews, could be saved). It takes sort of a lot of disregarding information about Jesus (Biblical and otherwise) to say that He was either completely Liberal or completely Conservative.

And, I think, He probably wouldn't approve completely of either contemporary political view.
