Murdering somebody is only wrong if there's some sort of civic law saying it's wrong. Can you say, "Situation ethics", Adolf? | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Let's say I kill a man. It could be entirely legal depending upon the situation. If the man was trying to kill me, it would be self-defense. If the killing was an unforseeable accident, it could be "manslaughter", if the state even decides to proceed with it. 2) Actually, my point is a little deeper than that. You anti-abortionists start ranting about "murder" and it's meaningless. Not just because the state says it's legal, but at a much deeper fundamental level. We disagree as to whether or not it is allowable. All calling me a murderer does is reiterate that you see abortion as unallowable. It doesn't explain why. It doesn't give an argument. All it does is appeal to emotion, lacking any substantive argument. 3) Calling me "Adolf"? You just can't separate your emotion from the subject, can you.

2. Your point has no point. All you're doing is trying to justify ending the life of pre-born babies - a completely innocent, totally defenseless child whose only crime was to be conceived inconveniently by two selfish people. You pro-death abortionists say it's not a child simply because you do not WANT it to be a child. You do NOT want to begin staring in the face the fact that you are murderers. 3. I will continue to call you "Adolf" when write do Adolf Hitler crap. And while you're at it, why not do a little research on Margaret Sanger - the poster child for abortion, and founder of Planned Parenthood. Specifically, look into her connections with Nazi geneticists and doctors. Then ask yourself if you really want to be counted among bastards like her. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| There are no simple answers to this debate. At some point we must decide whether what we do is morally right. Whether we get our morals from religion or through humanistic design, in the end we have to decide if abortion meets our beliefs. Arguing whether a fetus is a life or not, whether it can survive without assistance or not, or whether the rights of one individual outweighs the rights of another will not suffice. It is easy to consider a fetus as nothing more than a lump of tissue, and to say that a woman's reproductive rights should be weighed higher. However, problems continue to arrise in this discussion. In the Terry Schiavo case, a point was made that an individual should have the right to die with dignity. Time and again people asked what kind of existence would she have had? Does this truly matter. Seriously, consider the precedence we are setting. The courts allowed Terri to die because of the existence she would have had, who is to say in the future this will not be expanded. A child is born with Downs Syndrome, what poor existence they will have, let us put them out their misery now. A person is born into poverty, what a wretched existence they will have, let us end their agony now. President Bush made a great rhetorical contribution to this debate. Do we wish to have a culture of life or a culture of death. More and more we are slipping toward that culture of death. dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- | |||||||||||||||||||||

An unborn child has committed no wrong. Therefore, there are no grounds for capital punishment for an unborn baby. NOW it is the shedding of innocent blood. Joe 3:19 - Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. More scriptures on "innocent blood". America, too, will become a desolation. Proverbs 6:16 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

I said it wasn't "murder", and murder is classified by the LEGALITIES of the situation. Quote:
Lawrence v Texas struck down ALL homosexuality laws. It is not illegal to be gay, or to have gay sex, ANYWHERE in the U.S. The law is a non-existent one, so it sets fine with me Observer. Quote:
The over-emotionality I was talking about often involves somebody accusing another person of being a "murderer", and THAT'S IT. No real discussion or presentation of position takes place. Just accusations of "murderer" and little more. Quote:

You keep referring to this in simplistic and one-dimensional views. Women who have abortions are not doing it because of "capital punishment", and your attempt to throw that skewed perspective into the mix is most bizarre. Nobody is saying that the abortions are occurring because of a known "guilt", so this whole line of arguing is inane and pointless. Quote:
< end sarcasm > But seriously, do you revel in the thoughts of such a desolation? Quote:
Thanks for the verse. I'll keep it in mind for those who can't seem to get their prejudice for that issue out of their minds.

But, since you seem to want to adhere to those verses, here are a few more for you: Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: But since you're not a Christian and don't believe there is a God, you don't have to justify your actions, much less use the Bible in an attempt to justify your behavior. You can live any way you want, but there will be a day of reckoning. Just remember that. Last edited by Observer; 12-03-2006 at 12:59 PM. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Because it is attacked. Martin Luther King Jr defended blacks. Why? Because they were unjustly attacked. Quote:
I could care less about "adhering" to your mythology. There is no point in it. I just find irony in what people "claim" to believe in, and what the book they claim to believe in actually says... Quote:
The bible is true, because it SAYS it is... What more proof do you need??? Quote:
Why should I "justify" my "actions" when there is no real reason for them to be questioned in the first place... (And no. Your "religion" does not count as a valid reason because of freedom of religion...) Quote:

I should "remember" another myth promulgated by your religion, and be afraid of that. Are you capable of arguing on OBJECTIVE facts?

Should it be expected that the taxpayer fork out millions of dollars each year, just so the 1.5 million aborted babies can be buried, instead of incinerated? When should we start holding funerals? When a fetus is aborted at 5 months, or should we hold funerals for fetus's still the size of a grain of rice? All aborted babies would be handled with dignity. No one is just going to throw the baby away, like he or she is worthless. They are treated with respect, just like the deceased or dying. They are incinerated much like people are when we choose to be cremated. What is so bad about aborted babies being incinerated? What do you propose we do? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
