Which Religion is the One True Religion?

neo, You are projecting again. What I have said thus far is that we already have children who do not get enough food to eat nor medical care to look after their health. Your position to deny abortion to a woman you do not even know is beyond the legal and ehtical boundaries of concern when there are children you do not care about. It's called hypocrosy. What I have pointed out is the fact that human population growth is dramatic on a planet with finite natural resources. How humans decide to meet this challenge is a matter of time. I don't know how humans will meet this challenge; I'm 70 years old - and will be long gone.

Just how do you propose to control sexual promiscuity? Good luck!

Aha, you finally understand; we can't control anything! Finally, a logical conclusion.

That being said, I am appalled that an embryo can be equated to a tumor, that a mother can be referred to as a host, and that abortion is simply another medical procedure.

How can this attitude not contribute toward an increase of sexual promiscuity which, in turn, creates a new crop of unwanted pregnancies?

Frank, Neo thinks that training his children and grandchildren is the world's solution! LOL

Zoroastrianism

Not at all. It's my solution for my family. You do what works well for yours.

Just as I am appalled that someone can attempt to pass of the kind of narrow-minded thinking you spew regularly...and intelligent discourse.

How can a supposedly intelligent person suppose that comparing two different bits of tissue..referring to a host as a host....and considering a medical procedure to be a medical procedure.....

...in some way increases sexual promiscuity?

Egad. I cannot fathom how the theistic element posting has deteriorated to the depths you bring to this forum, Neo.

So promiscuity has no moral consequences? OK, hammer away!

Frankly Frank, I've given up trying to convince you.

It's more fun to see what degree of apoplexy I can provoke in your sagacious responses.

I hope you and CI live forever.

Get real, do you understand anything about world population growth and how it threatens all life on earth? We now have six billion humans on this planet, and it's anticipated that by 2050, there will be ten billion humans. There are only a finite supply of natural resources on this planet. Do you understand anything about logistics? It's only a matter of time when more humans will starve to death. Are you willing to sacrifice your family?

To answer your other question directly: Obviously, I do not approve of abortion prior to heartbeat. I am for protecting the child throughout the duration. Many pro-abortionists (not all) on the other hand are pro abortion for the entire 9 months. So if we are looking for an area of mutual compromise, a complete prohibition on abortion post-heartbeat would be a good step in the right direction.

If you would use the "brain waves" you have, Life, you'd eventually see that the problem we are dealing with is not whether or not to "prohibit abortion" at any stage of the embryo's development...

...BUT WHETHER OR NOT THE ABORTIONS ARE GOING TO BE LEGAL AND SAFE.

Why can't you get that through your thick skull?????

Abortion has been around for thousands of years. Abortionist is the second oldest profession on this planet...occasioned by the oldest.

GET IT???????

Women are going to get abortions.

The choice is whether they are going to do so in a sanitary clinic or hospital...or in a goddam back alley with a coat hanger.

Listening to your arguments makes me wonder whether "brain waves" ever start!

Legal abortions are not safe, Frank. Someone dies every time one is performed. Ditto your 3rd paragraph.

Compare the number of women who died in illegal abortions for any year you want to pick and it will not come close to equal the number of children who die every year due to legalized abortion. Get it?
