If we can't detect when the soul is formed how do we know it is human and God's creation? Maybe God intended the soulless shell to be aborted/removed? If it does have a formed soul it would be going straight to heaven which wouldn't be a bad thing either.
Maybe we should let this remain a personal matter between mother's and their God (or lack of God) and not limit people's personal freedom.  (and by maybe I mean listen up dumbass  ) --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. |
