He could have knocked on the monastery door.

He obviously had a means to feed the child. The church.I remember a Ken Follett book which began when a woman died in childbirth. Her husband buried the living baby with her because he had no way to feed him. A monk was watching and rescued the baby as soon as the man left, feeding him in the monastery...but I still wonder whether people really did that in Christian Europe in the 12th century???
That's not true. I've shown this in the past which is just a small sampling of ministries I know of and some found on a simple internet search:Our only interest is in safe passage from egg to birth. After that
we don't give a rip what happens.
Indeed.The morality of abortion has nothing to do with women's rights. The morality of abortion is entirely dependent upon the nature of the human life inside the womb.
Submit to your own teachings Catholic friend:So a Christian can support Planned Parenthood since they do other stuff besides Abortions.
Gotcha.
Heh nice examples. Most women would not go out on icy roads. That's what men folk are for.How about Miscarriage?
Punishable offense?
Should it be illegal for Pregnant women to go outside if its snowing or Icy, since that would irresponsibly put the baby at risk of death if she slipped and fell?
Should probably make it illegal for her to ride in or drive a car too, since the preborn baby can not be sufficiently restrained to prevent injury/death in case of an automobile accident?

Have anything to back that up with?You are correct there ,as the overwhelming incidents of violence are done by men . Men who often espouse to be christian ,but in fact rape and pressurise women to have sex . Less now ,but rape has become reportable only recently as a crime , and even then most women do not report because the treatment they recieve , can be worse than the violation.
So, when hypocritical christians start to be truly christian ,then the world will change .
The idea that goes round comes round ,and in the past women had no recourse to justice at all ,so God provides that while we are still living .The false idea that justice comes after death always ,is just that .A false idea.
And when you are talking of 'murder ' , genocide , your example is wrong ,as you cannot seperate a baby from the mother until it is born . Perhaps you would like to kill the mother instead ,as the RCC did in the past to 'save' the baby .
thats a tenuous example at bestI think the OP was making a stark comparison of "choice."
I took it as showing a literary extreme.
So his comments were not really about taxes but showing how people want government to tell people what to do with their own money; yet let someone decide to terminate the life of a defenseless human being in the womb.
The big question I always hear from pro-choicers is this: "If evangelical Christians and Catholics want to end abortion, WHY are they against birth control? Why are they against the Affordable Care Act? Why are they against insurers covering birth control?"
Thanks for letting us know what the left hand knows of the right hand.You know, there are SO many bases pro-lifers leave uncovered I prefer to do what's most needed.
I have made a number of donations as well as helping family members in Florida who lost fences and trees.
The premeditated termination of defenseless human life is not murder?
And I wonder if you could even make the case for even having personal "rights" in the first place from Scripture.
Because what I see when I read Scripture are verses saying things like you were bought with a price, therefore honor Christ with your bodies, and that Biblical worship is offering our bodies as a living sacrifice. I don't even know how you could put forth an argument for "personal rights" from Scripture.
You're right. In America we say that the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is self evident, right?In civilized nations, the rights of human beings are acknowledge as self-evident.
That's not true. I've shown this in the past which is just a small sampling of ministries I know of and some found on a simple internet search:
Christian Pregnancy Services and After Care:
Just a few examples here:

My local church teams up with several other churches to provide pregnancy crisis support, education for pregnant women and support for young families in need of financial assistance.
Moral of the story for folks who don't know about this? Get your church involved or get back to church and get involved.
When pro lifers show equal concern for the monumental and multiple immoralities their candidates promote they will at last get the respect they claim to deserve.v Does the unborn child possess the same inherent moral worth and value as you or I? If the answer is yes, then abortion is immoral.
SkyWriting, your response here is nothing short of incredibly uncharitable and manipulative. Why are ministries that support women and children "fringe"? and why are groups that focus on children only "core"? And why would groups that only focus on saving the lives of unborn children be bad in the first place? We need BOTH.My apologies. I did not mean to undermine the efforts
of fringe groups that are actually concerned. I was
describing the core Pro-Life groups that don't give
a hoot past birth.

The purpose of abortion is to end pregnancy. The death of the embryo or foetus is only a consequence of that.
