Surely both.a personal choice or a question of morality?
a personal choice or a question of morality?
Like STDs?If he or she is adult enough to have sex then they ought to be adult enough to accept the consequences of their unprotected or accidental choices to have sex.
a personal choice or a question of morality?
In God’s eyes, life does not occur until the human breathes.women who have an abortion do so for many relationship problems,not wanting to be a single mother,others view abortion as a violation.
in God's eyes human life is sacred
So’s eating.I agree .there lots of reasons.but abortion is killing.
So, we should have babies, many of which will be at risk — developmentally delayed, drug addicted, at risk for abuse and neglect — just to protect the mother from depression?if a woman violates her conscience it may trouble her or even condemn her(((
Romans 2:14,15
for when people of the nations,who do not have law,do by nature the things of the law,these people,not having law,are a law to themselves.they are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts,while their conscience is bearing witness with them,and by their own thoughts they are being accused or even excused"
people decide for themselves
For “pro-life” advocates, the “pro life” part generally stops at birth.So is cleaning the toilet with Domestos. So is eating meat. So is smacking a mosquito that landed on your arm. So is denying a woman a life-saving abortion. All of these things result in death but'pro-life'anti-choice people are okay with these things a lot of the time.
Quite frankly, I can't take the 'pro-life' movement seriously since people who espouse it by-and-large seem willing to do all of the above and sometimes worse things as well.
For many current ones that's unfortunately true, but the Consistent Life Ethic is a thing. They tend to be anti-war as much as they're anti-abortion, and as they're usually Catholic, also often anti-capital punishment.For “pro-life” advocates, the “pro life” part generally stops at birth.
She may not have acted; she may have been acted upon. And she didn’t create life; she assisted in creating tissue. God makes us nephesh by giving us breath.Her actions created life, and therefore, requires a certain level of responsibility
a personal choice or a question of morality?
Yeah, people will say, a woman has the right to do with her body as she chooses.
But no one will say anything, that the baby has a right to life. What's up with all that Go Figure
Until near death, when the "pro-lifers" insist that the dying person suffer as long as possible.For “pro-life” advocates, the “pro life” part generally stops at birth.
We also have secular, reality based, science to use. Including the formulation of moral principles and ethical codes.In God’s eyes, life does not occur until the human breathes.
At the stage of abortion the fetus is not a baby. Calling is thus is appeal to emotion.
This is PRIMARILY a religious argument. That’s the theology — according to Genesis — of what constitutes “life.” It’s when breathing occurs. I didn’t comment on “what constitutes a human.” It remains to be determined what, exactly the religious argument against abortion is. Is it that humans are being killed, or is it that life is terminated? Science has to determine when individual life happens.We also have secular, reality based, science to use. Including the formulation of moral principles and ethical codes.
According to science, individual humans are formed when a pair of gametes merge. It's the same with all other such organisms, from elephants to shrimp. Which humans matter, that is "are accorded personhood", is a really subjective opinion. Where I live, it didn't used to include black people. Things have improved morally in the last century or so and now black people are accorded personhood. I hope that in the near future unborn people will also be accorded more value than a tumor or a parasitic infestation.
But I am not holding my breath. Altogether too many people benefit from the anti-feticide political position to actually take concrete, evidence based, steps to reduce abortion.

Beat me to it. One can't abort a baby.
I've never heard the term Consistent Life Ethic before.For many current ones that's unfortunately true, but the Consistent Life Ethic is a thing. They tend to be anti-war as much as they're anti-abortion, and as they're usually Catholic, also often anti-capital punishment.
I will.Correct,m betting foc doesnt make a comment thoght
I would say that intent makes all of the difference in the world. If tiny grapesized Baby Heathen had died and ended in a miscarriage they would have been very sad and disappointed. If he or she died after birth they would have been heart broken.I will.
A few years ago a couple of RF members, Father Heathen and Dawny0826, got pregnant. They described their grapesized progeny as "Baby Heathen".
Nobody confronted them about their misuse of the language. They consistently referred to their fetus as a baby for months. It was totally sweet, but rather hypocritical on the part of pro-feticide people who object to referring to very young human beings as babies.
