ABORTION.......

While defining the importance of morality, let's not make the mistake of assuming that those who are pro-life are the more moral, however much they demand it to be true.

I see my position as far more moral...and indeed Christian.

The reason a lot of things got changed on the law books in this country were because of protests and boycotts and general unrest caused by a lot of people who got their motivation from their religions and morals.

Yes Snood, unfortunately so for the religious beliefs, who are quite diversified nowadays.

Quote:

FACT: A fetus is a human being..... Fetus -- literally meaning 'little one' in Latin -- refers to the pre-born baby after eight week's gestation.

That's not a fact, PS.
A fetus is an organism (not a human being yet) as yet
underdeveloped, and in the process of becoming an individual, if given the chance.

Also the morality of it (abortion) lays within each woman,
not you, not me, or the government.

MA, no not a Christian per se...although I like much of the wisdom he espoused.

Yes, from my POV, my position on this is more moral and more Christian.

It's important to understand how our side sees this, rather than assuming (as some might) that a LACK of morals is the cause of our position.

Christ has nothing to say about abortion .... and other parts of the bible place a lower value on the crime of causing a woman to miscarry than it does on killing a complete human being.

From WorldNet Dictionary:

human being - (n) any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae

A fetus is a living human member, inside the woman's womb. Not yet legally a "person", but still a human being.

"NEWS FLASH"

I JUST DISCOVERED THAT FETUS MEANS PERSON.

Fetus = Offspring = Person

fetus: Middle English, from Latin fētus, a bringing forth or offspring.

This is a more accurate definition:

(Funk & Wagnalls) for offspring:

1) The progeny or issue of a person, animal, or plant; descendant.
2) Any result or product: the offspring of his mind

It looks like the pro-abortionists best find another term to use, other than fetus. They are trying so hard to de-humanize it, so that they don't feel guilty about it. But in reality, there is no proper word to use, that would excuse it away. They'll have to coin a new word that will match up with their conscience.

Yes, and I see not taking responsibility for the health of teenagers who make mistakes as highly immoral.

(I might just take a moment to again state my general dislike of abortion, tempered by my greater dislike of the consequences of making abortion illegal)

PoetSeductress, you make too many assumptions. If the issue was as simple as you say, the solution would be obvious and every country in the world would make abortion illegal just like they do with the killing of a six-year-old.

The fact that you don't understand the complexity doesn't make you right.

Perhaps every "pro-lifer" should be made to watch a mixed up 14 year old kill herself with a coat-hanger

The same thoughts on a very important issue. Can we both be wrong? ;-)
