Pro-abortion groups recognize that allowing a person to be convicted of the murder of a foetus indicates that there was a living person who was murdered. If the fetas is a human person, then it should not be allowed to be killed, even at the request of its mother.

So how can these laws be applied selectively to unwanted killing of a foetus, while the complicity of the mother in the same killing is completely legal? Here is an excerpt from the California Penal Code



What I find really bizarre about the law are the exceptions to it. If someone were to kill or have their own child murdered, complicity on the part of the mother or father would not make it legal. But this is the exact exception made in the law in regard to the foetus. Somehow, the foetus only has value as human life if it is wanted by the mother. If someone kills a fetus that the mother wants to keep, it suddenly becomes a living human being who can be murdered.

If a human is only human on the basis of whether or not he is wanted, then this leaves open the option of killing "street people" and handicapped individuals simply because they are "unwanted."

In contrast to what the liberal agenda says, the Bible says that all people have equal worth, since all are created in the image of God.2

Although liberalism teaches that certain "unwanted" humans have less inherent worth than others who are wanted, the Bible states that all human life has worth in God's eyes.3

I am anti-abortion but then I have never had my body molested or being raped, what are your comments on this topic?

Greetings,

ideally children are begotten and born in Love, but we know this isn't always  what happens. Some of us believe that a child born of terror and pain ( such as the victim of a forcible rape would experience) will absorb those feelings during its development.

We also now know that consciousness extends to and affects life at a cellular level.  It's difficult to extend our Higher Consciousness into our own cells that have known past pain, hatred, fear. Mistreated parts of our bodies seem to hold onto memories that we'd rather forget. Why send those negativities  into a new being?

Perhaps the job of infusing Love into this world starts with loving ourselves even to the extent of loving our inner individual cells. (As I wrote this I tried sending loving thoughts to a bruise I have and  felt that whole area relax.)

(I don't know how human law should deal with responsibilities for the effects of rape and molestation. )

This is such a complex topic - I have never given it much thought because I 've always been very liberal in my approach to other people's rights, & have no direct personal experience of it - but recently I was sent a really disturbing link, graphically showing how abortion is actually carried out; it is a violent, bloody, dismemberment & I was traumatised for days.

I don't presume to know the answer here - I just know that, emotionally, I am horrified & filled with sadness that we should feel we need to do this to other beings - the "human" argument doen't touch me at all here or anywhere else - for me it is ANY being.  This is surely not the way we are meant to live.
Namaste all

At least 10-20% of pregnancies are thought to end in miscarriage.

Should we be doing retrievals for those miscarriages? Heck, should we be doing retrievals for those abortions? Why or why not? Why have I not heard of such a retrieval exoperience?

What should we be doing for the kids who die because there isn't enough food or water for them? Shoudl I worry about abortions when I don't know what to do aboiut kids who starve to death? We can't feed all the ones we've got. If child A lives, and child B dies, and A lives because it ate the food that would have saved B, does that mean A killed B? We let that happen all the time. And that's with kids who are breathing for themselves already.

My brain isn't big enough for all this. It can't figure this all out.

Maybe Guardasil should come with birth control pills.

Why did only women respond. Hmm must be a reason.

I have given ny opinion on this subject but it is certainly off topic. Nothing is EVER lost and only information is gained. I have partaken in two abortions from the male perspective both times leaving it up to the body that was truly in question. I have struggled with the second many times but I believe since the girl already had a child she couldn't care for it would be cruel to bring her another into the world and I have my hands fulll with my son. She said she was on the pill, I know I know. The first was my first wife who feared she would abuse the child in some way if she had one. Both decisions were correct in the eyes of ME. My son came to me at the perfect time and though his mother and I parted he has grown up just as I would have wished...brilliantly.

Happy Thanksgiving even though the native Americans may see ours as the greatest abortion of all time. I do love turkey and dressing. My best to you all for the rest of this glorious year..

Yours, Always N Allways,

Beau
