A deep and divisive subject.
Should a woman have a right to choose? What are the boundaries, and why?
What about the man? What rights for him?

Originally posted by FetchmyjunkI do not believe life is God given, but still view life as precious and with intrinsic value. Your repeated assumption that life without God is meaningless is itself, meaningless.

Originally posted by avalanchethecatI think the tragedy of abortion at its root is nothing more than homage to Moloch. I am not saying anybody is worshiping Moloch, we have been blinded for sure but abortion is a personal sacrifice no matter how you look at it.

Do you believe man is simply a glorified animal to be treated as such or a being made in the image of God that is distinct from the animal kingdom with natural rights?
That is the dividing line.
