Abortion is genocide and I have strenuously opposed it. Perhaps you didn't know that.

Have you done anything to stop it, or is talking about it the furthest you've been able to go? Also, is abortion the only genocide happening on earth? Have you done anything about the others? How about poverty or starvation? How about all of the other things the bible tells you to do?

What one does privately and what the state is charged to do by individuals through the democratic process is quite another.

I know what the Bible tells me to do.

Are you suggesting that because the Bible tells individuals to assist the poor, that those individuals should charge the state with the duty of caring for the poor?

Are you really suggesting that the mission of the government should be the fulfilling of the commands of scripture?

I thought you were all about separation of church and state?

It is the duty of government to protect the right to life, however. At least it is if you believe in the American form of government, which I do.

Where or when did I ever mention the government.

ONCE AGAIN, you are guilty of putting words into my mouth and then arguing with me about what YOU said.

So, instead of arguing with me about something I never said (or implied) how about you stick to my questions and we can argue over those.

The thread is about GWB.

In case you didn't know , he's the head of the government. He's the President of the United States.

And another question......

do you think that the government should be fulfilling the commands of scripture?

No one forces a woman to abort a foetus. Therefore, it is a private act, and your idiotic contention that it constitutes "genocide" is falsified by the philosophy you apply here.

Maporche has nailed you for the hypocricy which is at the core of modern christianity--there's not a one of you gobshites who practice what you allege your boy Jesus preached.

Many women will tell you different, that they were coerced into aborting by a boyfriend, a parent, etc.

In addition, minors are subject to manipulation in ways that adults are not.

We don't allow cigarette and alcohol companies to prey upon minors to make them customers, and for good reason.

But we allow abortionists to do so.

And the pro-abortion crowd fights tooth and nail to keep the cash flowing into the abortuary from minors.

By definition, many of these are victims of statutory rape, and that too is covered up and not reported , often in violation of specific state law.

There's a lot more to it than simply repeating political slogans like 'it's a private act.'

Many women will tell you different, that they were coerced into aborting by a boyfriend, a parent, etc.

By anybody's measure, an abortion is a major medical procedure.

That is rubbish.

The Chinese (atheist Communist government) spend a much larger percentage of their GDP on weapons than we do, as do several other totalitarian nations (some of them atheist Communist as well, none of them with a society that is largely Christian, AFAIK).
