A perspective on abortion

@ghost-of-a-duke said
Kelly, you asked who are we (as humans) to end the life God has given.

You can't have your cake and eat it.

Life is complex but I will go so far and say what is done against enemy combatants don’t have the same rules as a 3 year old across the board, unless you mean to do good things to them.

Good thing that we have a document stating that government should not be about what God you worship, as much as the right, who claim to be all about that same document, refuses to acknowledge that.

It puzzles me that you place women's rights over a life.

The law 'wouldn't' allow such a thing, due to being constructed by rational and educated human beings. (As opposed to some of the barbaric laws in the OT).

Rational human beings disagree all the time.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, after the commandment was issued not to kill, or murder.......much killing and murdering took place in the bible.

How does that apply to the point of my post?

When does life begin according to the Bible?

When does "life" begin?

When would it have been okay to abort Jesus?

It puzzles me that a man would tell a woman what she should be doing with her body.

Answer my question.

If Mary aborted Jesus within 3 months of her pregnancy, that would be fine?

The truth is that at any stage, the life is gone.....

Let's see. You answered my question with a question.

How does it make sense for you insist that I answer your question?

You're getting more and more like the mindless fundamentalist Christians that post here as time goes on.

Fine, don't answer.

Because the answer is that if Mary chose her women's rights, and decided that Jesus wasn't really a 'human' at 1 month of her pregnancy, then Christianity wouldn't exist.

For all your posts pointing out how nonsensical Christianity is, your lastest post seems to indicate that you believe that that would be a bad thing.

Well scripture tells us that it is God who forms us within our mother’s womb, in additional it is God who allows women to have children. When is not as important who!

Scripture also tells us that life begins with breath.

The Bible being what it is, the reality is that the Bible is open to interpretation as to when life begins. That many use terms such as "God's law" to describe their own interpretation is hubris. It speaks to their own sense of self-importance.
