Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution and Abortion
- Thread starter Fool

I'm sure there would be a wide variety of applications... depending on how u use it.
the needs are for the mother. the fetus needs the mother. it doesn't eat food.
jeremiah 1:5 speaks of the spirit before it possesses/inhabits the flesh. that posession doesn't take place until a few hours before or after birth but is associated with the breath of life.
john 9:2 speaks to reincarnation and karma.
fyi regeneration literally means palingenesis. so then a spirit entering chooses the form it wants to take for it's experience on earth as john 9:2 explains.
Many individuals have black & white views of things.
The country is more diverse than that.
That sounds extremely black & white.

Reincarnation is not Biblical, so pretty sure that is not it.
Also Luke 1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
mom needs food. We agree on that. Why is jr counted?
It means that the thing being expected isn't there right now. Context would tell us whether this is because the thing exists but is just somewhere else (e.g. expecting your aunt to visit) or doesn't exist at all yet (e.g. expecting your degree once you graduate).But "i'm expecting you" didn't mean that you weren't there or weren't alive... I just couldn't see you at the moment.
When a pregnant person says they're expecting a baby, do you think that they're trying to say that baby is someplace else and they're just waiting for it to arrive (by stork, presumably)?
Think hard.

actually reincarnation is biblical.
i told you the exact word. it is used twice in the NT regeneration. you can click on the word. it will take you to the Strongs definition. Also, the word reincarnation wasn't coined until the late 1800s. prior to that the word was palingenesis, or metempsychosis.
jesus said john the baptist was the spirit of elijah. john the baptist said he wasn't elijah. both are true. the personality doesn't reincarnate. the spirit reincarnates as different/multiple personalities.
john 9:2 talks about the boy being born blind. he couldn't have sinned unless he'd been born before. jesus said he chose to be born blind to magnify god by jesus' miracle.
the holy spirit is love. it's isn't unusual for a body to react to a mind or spirited state.
however, it doesn't tell you that the lord came to visit Elizabeth it says the mother of the lord.
when jesus called to lazarus to come out of the tomb. he had been dead. the spirit can vacate the body and return to it later. this is what is happening with NDEs
It is not. Because women can have an abortion. Within the 15th week.
The United States is black and white because there are states like California where newborns are practically murdered (saline abortions even at the 36th week)....whereas in Ohio abortion is not possible not even at the first week.
Calling a fetus a "newborn" is etymological mischief.
At the 36th week they are babies. Babies, not fetuses.

If they're not yet born, they're not "newborns".
Perhaps less so a zygote. It's rare to hear someone say 'You know, that zygote has a particularly sharp sense of humour.'
And let's face it, they ALL dress the same.
Yeah, but expectant mothers don't like it if you call them 'The Unborn'...
No...there'd still be a connection between the two, else they'd be both seperate sentences and seperate paragraphs.
In case you're interested..

So then we should all tack on another 9 months to our lives. Kids born today onward can start getting their driver's licenses and joining the army nine months' earlier since we're calculating our ages from the moment of conception now, right?
I just learned something new the other day that I found very interesting ... A friend of mine had a baby that was born about two months' premature, give or take a week (it had to be done via C-section) and had to be kept in an incubator for all that time so he could continue developing fully. That was about 10 months ago now. So I said something to him to that effect just yesterday "oh congrats your boy is 10 months old now" or something like that. What he told me was that no, his son is only considered 8 months old, because his age is calculated from the date he was supposed to be born into the world, rather than the date he was prematurely brought into the world. And I've been thinking about that ever since.

Erm. He's not an atheist. And this isn't the point of the thread.
At the 36th week, bodily autonomy would preserved by inducing a live birth rather than aborting.
... but the abortions that happen at week 36 are generally because something has gone so wrong that there can't be a live birth.
