I think that people who use abortion as a birth control method are a miniscule minority who have been inflated by social conservatives for political ends.

Well Christians always makes a fuss about things that are debatable. And there are a lot of Christians so it would be helpful to get there votes by saying your anti-abortion.
As I leave you with restless liars and dealers on the take

But I do not believe I have the right to impart my beliefs in this regard upon the next couple.
So...you'd be okay if another couple cut up their two-year old? No one has the right to take another's life. NO ONE!

I know the argument; "A fetus isn't a baby." Do you know where the word "fetus" comes from and it's meaning? Definition
foetus, US ALSO fetus noun [C]
a young human being or animal before birth, after the organs have started to develop (Cambridge) (Was it ever anything else but human?)


You know that 18-23 inch baby that exits the birth canal? Did it become a baby at that point--exiting the womb? <POOF!!> and there it was! What living things do we know comes into existence completely formed? That baby had a beginning when the sperm joined the egg and grew until such time it could survive outside the womb. When was our beginning? Think about it. We did not become a baby when we exited our mother's womb. Our beginning was when our father's sperm met our mother's egg. But for the grace of God our fate could have been the abortionist's trash can or incinerator. (Taking another human life is against the Father's will..whether you believe He exists or not)

using that definition, it would seem as if you would only be opposed to abortion after the organs begin to develop, which is after about 8 weeks I believe.

Yeah, Uhh Huhh! I hope you don't actually think that!

MOST abortions are nothing more than post-conception contraception.

Although most abortions are performed for birth control, they are by no means contraceptive. Abortion involves ending the life of a developing human being by a number of surgical and medical techniques.

Does getting an abortion make you a bad person? Perhaps. But no more so than doing anything else that is morally objectionable. And who says that everyone has to be good moral people?

What I find more morally objectionable than abortion, is people using laws to force their views on others. This is America. We are founded on the principles of freedom, and personal rights.
I see. Someone murdering a defenseless baby is less objectionable to you than someone defending that life? Is that what you want us to believe?

Here is an article that will enlighten you to the truth about the foundation of this nation and where this country is headed if we don't change. I suspect most of the posters on this forum were born after 1960. Those who were born before that decade can correct me if they wish.

Actually, I am opposed to abortion at any stage. It is the beginning of someone's life, just as our life began.
