EVEN if there is no God abortion is evil… in the case that there is a living God then the soul who was murdered by the abortionist was innocent in God’s eyes. That soul could go to heaven having done no wrong

but

if there is NO God then that person’s one and only chance to have a long happy life and choose to experience ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ outlined in the declaration of independence has been eliminated without a hearing and without mercy.

Its time to abolish the slavery of abortion… thank the founders for a governement that rules by majority. Someday a maority will overturn roe v wade and people can live in liberty again.

BTW - I am for Mike Huckabee. I support more funding for children. I would support a TAX increase earmarked for unwanted children if abortion was outlawed but somehow I think that a lot of women would still choose to have their unborn child executed than allow a ’stranger’ to care for them.

Peter

You are confusing compassionate acts as being a Government exclusive ability…
Just because we don’t think small groups of elitist politicians should regulate every minuscule aspect of the economy and redistribute wealth under the threat of punishment doesn’t mean we don’t take care of our own families or support charities. There are numerous pro-life organizations that help women with pregnancy, adoption, etc. Not including all the Christian charities all across the world. Don’t make silly accusations that Republicans don’t care at all about life outside the womb. The problems you listed are caused by pathetic lifestyle choices, not a lack of responsibility or compassion from people like me.

Peter- You still haven’t answered my questions from March 14. I don’t think you can. I am still waiting for you to explain how your instance that laws be drafted to suit your religious philosophy is anything but a flaunting of the very principals this country was founded upon and the very thing we are currently embroiled in the Middle East.

An open question to pro-lifers- Your movement has allied itself with the Republican Party, who have notorious for cutting spending for childcare and even basic services for the poor, have gutted the educational system in this country through the failed “No Child Left Behind” program, have gotten rid of inner-city after school programs resulting in a rise in teen crime statistics and how continue to push for “abstinence-only” sex education, when numerous studies show that such programs are entirely ineffective. Why is it you continue this association, when it appears that though they say all life is precious, they appear to not give a tinker’s damn about it once its out of the womb?

All of us thought it was very entertaining, but part way through it, the phrase Horton kept saying started to make me wonder. So, I Googled when I got back, and sure enough others thought the same.

This was my son’s first movie in a theater (my daughter’s second). Whether it was intentional or not, this movie was a great gift reaffirming to everyone who sees it that a person is a person no matter how small (from conception until death if I may add).

“All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”
-Edmond Burke-

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Joshua 24:15

“Jesus, I plead your Blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America.”

Its not a protest, its a prayer movement

If I hated america I would have the guts to leave it… I don’t, I’m here… I perfer that each State determines its code of ethics (constitution) and is free to live as they choose… I perfer not being rulled by 9 unelected men/women in black gowns… I believe the other two branches of the government have not exercied their responsibility in regards to the court and have given too much of their power to the court perhaps because it is sometimes easier to pass the buck to someone else to solve or be responsible for a problem. If you look at the founding fathers intentions for the court, it is not what it has become today.

As far as the slavery allusion: Slavery was outlawed a long time ago.
. I don’t believe mothers or fathers OWN their children, they are responsible for nurturing and defending them not destroying them. As a civilized state those that destroy innocent life should be held accountable for their actions - that sounds reasonable to me - or should we abolish all laws and let people live in anarchy and do what they please?

Peter

Are you advocating the violent overthrow of the government in direct opposition to the Founding Fathers’ desire to keep seperate Church and State (Do not even think about dragging out the commonly quoted misconseption that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, because the facts don’t support that arguement.) in favor of establishing a totalitarian theocracy? Why is it your religous beliefs should dictate the laws of this land and not anothers? What if the Amish suddenly rose up? Would you gladly acquiesce to their new laws banning electricity and buttons?

You do realize that demanding laws based strictly on religous belief - Because at the heart of the anti-abortionist arguement has always been that a fetus is life from the moment of conception because at that moment God has imbued it with a soul - makes you no different from the numerous fanatical religous groups in the Middle East we are currently stuck fighting with?

Now, I myself feel that I am a spritual person and would not advocate a woman getting an abortion for only the direst of reasons. However, according to the Constitution, I don’t have the right to impose my religous views on another. So yes, you are correct that the only way this will be resolved to your satisfaction would be through some sort revolution.

However, that is something I would resist as I think that it would fly in the face of every principal on which that this nation was founded.

Why do you hate America, Peter?

“It’s quite easy to say that you would never want to abort a child in that situation if you can never actually imagine yourself in that situation.

That’s assuming you’re a man. Because I’m assuming you are based on what you just said.”

Actually - I totally agree with you. And yes I am a man (Interesting that it is so obvious). I think there is a good chance that I might want to end the pregnancy too. However, most of us agree that merely wanting to do something doesn’t make it right. I would liken the situation to wanting to kill someone who has significantly wronged you (like a child molester or murderer). I would probably want to kill that person if I or my family were a victim of his/her, but that wouldn’t make it right….

It’s quite easy to say that you would never want to abort a child in that situation if you can never actually imagine yourself in that situation.

“I am sorry for keeping this debate alive. To all the pro-lifers please direct your comments to the 14 year old girl who has been raped by her mentally disturbed father and now has the product of this unforgivable act in her womb. Please tell her not to get an abortion because it is a sin and a damnable act. Tell her to suck it up and keep the child because, hey…..a life is a life no matter how small.”

To anyone who is put in this position - my heart would absolutely break for them….

Would this change the fundamental question of Abortion Ethics? IF an unborn child is a person, then there is really no situation where it would be Ethical to kill that child regardless of what horrendous act was perpetrated on the mother.

My only point being that the Ethical issue still rests on the question of whether or not an unborn child is a person or not - not what circumstances led up to the pregnancy.

I’m not trying to minimize the trauma and stress that would come with certain scenario’s, but to some extent **** happens to everyone - the real question is “how do we respond”?

Honest, you made me LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Most ironic posting on SlashFIlm EVAR!
