What I do not understand about abortion.

[JoJo]

I don't know. Define how you become you in the womb. (I got all the technical stuff, like when your fingers form, etc.)

I believe I became me when my father's sperm met with my mother's egg and their DNA combined to make my first cell. If my soul existed before then, I do not know.

 

[JoJo]

No matter how you define "life", the undeniable truth is that a woman or girl goes into an abortion clinic to get rid of what she knows will be a future baby, one that for one reason or another she feels she cannot carry to term. Whether that is an act of murder or, in some cases an act of mercy, is for God to decide, not me.

I would suggest that the OP is so ridiculous (for reasons already pointed out in this thread) that unless the OP'er returns to defend his/her "logic", it not be discussed anymore.

Yes, I am against the morning after pill if it ends the life of a fertilized egg. In my opinion at least, that is when life begins.

Is use of the morning after pill committing murder, since its the premeditated intentional taking of a human life?

Do you think that the regular use of the birth control pill for contraception also amounts to murder, since, as I mentioned in a previous post, it also works by often preventing the implantation of a fertilized egg?

I'm interested in what any Christians think are the answers to these 2 questions, not just JoJo.

And I have no problem waiting for the "OPer" to come and do just that. But until he does I have no problem locking this thread if you or anyone else insists on hijacking it.

Start a new topic or get back to this one

Sorry, Caroline.

Regarding the OP: I think it is ridiculous to think that abstinence = death. How can something die if it hasn't even been created yet?

I suppose that is one way to define it.

I think we are getting off topic, though.

Science is used to gather data. That's all. The conclusions are made by men. Men make up their minds what the data means.
Conclusion based solely on data concerning an issue such as abortion alienates the moral character of man. Therefore is it not logical to state the above conclusions have no moral basis whatsoever?

I wouldn't say those conclusions alienate character, they help to define it. By applying your morals to the data you come up with conclusions.

I am shocked that people whould even consider this kind of logic..............

Elaborate please.

Also these are not my words, nor are these my ideas. I am just posting what others are posting from a different website, and once you come up with answers I go back and tell them what you said.

Then you need to make that clear in your OP so that it avoids this confusion.

Oh, you want to use us 'christians' as little pawns without our knowledge so you can go back and report huh? Nice.

Ridiculous.

Why don't you just invite them to join us here?

How so? I truelly do want you guys to win the arguement, me being a christian. This arguement, however, is beyond me. I am still learning, you see, I havent even read the whole bible yet.

Well then in the future it would really be a good idea to let people know that in your opening post, as Free has already said. Otherwise, people feel like they're being taken advantage of, or not being taken seriously you know? It just helps to avoid confusion. :yes
