@snood,

The fact that ending any pregnancy sometimes means ending a “
POTENTIAL’ viable human life, is something that is supposed to at least cause someone a moment of pause. And I believe that to many, the decision to terminate a pregnancy, is a serious and painful one, a decision that the majority of people hope that they are never forced to make.
Quote:But I would really like to hear in conversation a pro-choice person acknowledge that this choice sometimes involves killing a real live human being.
A real live human being is a “
POTENTIAL” Child of God, but an unborn foetus is not a real live human being, and to all those Christian Families, who were forced, for some reason or other, to make the painful decision to terminate a pregnancy, and have been accused by the pro-lifers as being murderers, let me assure you that the God of the Christian scriptures, does not classify an unborn foetus as ‘
A HUMAN BEING’.
Good News Bible, Catholic Study Edition, Exodus 21: 22-25; “If some men are fighting and hurt a pregnant woman so that she loses her child,
(THE UNBORN FOETUS) but she (
A LIVE HUMAN BEING) is not injured in any other way, the one who hurt her is to be fined whatever amount the woman's husband demands, subject to the approval of the judges. (For the loss of his '
POTENTIAL' human child.
But if the woman herself is injured, the punishment shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
Flesh and blood cannot and does not inherit the promised everlasting kingdom, unlike the pro-lifers, who are more interested in the meat rather than the mind, it is only the invisible mind/spirit that develops within the physical womb, which is the potential child of the GREAT ever
EVOLVING “THOUGHT” and an independent mind cannot begin to develop until the foetus is born and takes its first breath of life, any information taken into the forming brain of the unborn foetus is shared information with the mother body.
The body in which you, [
The mind] are developing as the supreme head and controller of that body, is made up of the universal elements, which is activated by the soul, [
Animating life force] to which all the spirit [
gathered information] of all your ancestors, human and pre-human has been gathered in its evolution to become
‘WHO YOU ARE’, and that gathering of parental spirits, which is the evolving ‘
SON OF MAN,’ dwells behind the veil of the flesh to the inner most sanctuary of its temporary earthly tabernacle or tent, which is your physical body, as it awaits the creation of its glorious temple of incorruptible Light.
[THE SON OF MAN] who stands on the highest and final rung of the ladder of evolution in this period of universal activity.
If that body in which your parental spirit dwells, were born without the sense of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, etc, then no information whatsoever could be taken into the brain, and “
YOU” who are spirit [
Gathered information] could never have begun to develop and the living body, in which the parental spirit dwells, would soon die, never having developed a personality or
“CONTROLLING GODHEAD” to that body, which godhead, a potential addition to the
“GREAT THOUGHT” should be an obedient servant to “
WHO YOU ARE.”
