Let me just clear up a few things for you aspiring.
1. This subject is about abortion, so sometimes there is no easy way to tell people that they should put others (babies) before themselves when they are headstrong about preserving self and be for self.
2. I am not the one who called anybody a "right winged nut", now am I? Tell me what names I have called anybody? How come you don't criticize negative comments from the other side? Hmmm???
3. Who is browbeating? I'm the one trying to stay on topic.
4. We don't know each other personally so I am not judging anyone personally I am trying to address the topic at hand.
5. Don't compare me or anyone else to Christ. None of us would meaure even close to his knee caps. Don't compare Christ or the Bible to his followers. Compare the Bible to the Bible. Anaylse the "word" and not his people. People are human and will never measure up to Him.
6. Analyze what I am saying ONLY to what I am saying. If any of you met me on the street I would buy you lunch and tell you how beautiful a person you were because you are a child of God. If Aiden were to come in my church and I knew what he thought sexually I would clear a seat for him on the first row and worship with him. I would "try" not to judge him because I think unholy thoughts every day.
To answer Aiden's question about how come God gives some people (government) the right to tell what others can do with their bodies, I think he judges whole communites (countries, towns, families, couples) based on their following of the Word. If a country allowed it's citizens to be unlawful (kill, steal, etc.) there would be a huge consequence to this disobedience (spiritually and secularly).
Your argument that a woman should have a right over her own body because the child can't speak for him or herself is wrong. The government has to step in to protect the innocent and weak (especially children). A lot of mentally handicap and disabled children and adults can't speak for themselves, so do we let their parents do what ever they want with them? During WW2 the Nazis murdered retarded people because they were not "perfect". This slippery slow is going on in China as we speak where you can only have one child. Many couples want boys so the girls are aborted, dissapear, or sold into slavery. The Chinese government turns a blind eye to this. Do you think that it is right for the Chinese government to do what it is doing so it's citizens can participate in "planned parenthood" and be "pro choice" in order to have a boy. If the mother can take ultrasounds to find out the sex of the baby, would it be ok with you if she aborted 5 baby girls to get her boy?  |
