How about we just let women decide what to do with their bodies?
That’s pretty radical, huh?

In earlier years I felt it more important to judge the circumstances surrounding pregnancy. Now I have gone through my own life’s experiences and have to deal with my change in values.
I was always under the impression that the Bible didn’t specifically address God’s stand on abortion. I now now diffrently. I was looking for the specific verse but didn’t have it at my fingertips. While trying to locate it, I found other references but I didn’t find them as strong.
In any event we shouldn’t try to fool ourselves. If God has granted life, he meant for it to be. Who are we to terminate it to make our life’s journey easier, thus changing the path that God has mapped out for us. No matter which way we shake the stick it is murder unless terminated by God himself.

Herman Wok, are you the writer? A voice of sanity.
Weaselkin, suppose we map our own lives out in spirit before we come to earth like many people believe? Why should your belief or mine determine what all women in America should do?

“Why should your belief or mine determine what all women in America should do?”
Because God has appointed me Her divine representative on earth to instruct everybody else from the Bible as I read it.

Goodness, what a novel idea – letting a woman decide for herself what she does with her own body.
Next thing you know, we’ll be putting shoes on ‘em, teaching them how to read and giving them passive franchise.
Seriously, abortion will go on whether I like it or not (I don’t). The only question under discussion should be, how do I as 1) a man and 2) a gay man who is baby proof (safe conclusion after all these years) help a young woman in trouble? Do I drive her into a dark alley and a coat-hanger? Do I provide her with the resources to prevent the pregnancy in the first place (including a sense of self-worth)? Or, once that has occurred which nobody wanted, a pregnancy, do I give her the resources to end it before quickening – after which time the woman should be given the resources to bring the baby to term without penalty.
Any other questions are outside my standing.
And, yes, ultimately, even if I am unhappy about it – it’s her body, not mine, her life, not mine, her exclusive right to decide, not mine.
When and if the time comes that men can carry babies to term, then, perhaps, we can discuss whether the male half of this pregnancy should not be forced to bring the pregnancy he cause to term. Otherwise, nope, her decision and her’s alone.
What is so hard about that?

But is it her body? Genetically speaking, the feotus is a different individual from the mother. I think the woman’s right over her body lies in her choice of having sex, protectet sex and sex in a convinient time of her life. The moment the woman had sex, she tecnically opened her self to the possibility of a pregnancy. And the law also imposes some restricition on a person’s body. To the best of my knowledge, no one can go to a doctor an ask to have a limb removed because the owner of the body wishes to have only one arm instead of two.
If a feoutus is not a person, why is so much money and time being invested in trying to save it? You can have in the same hospital a doctor trying to save an unborn baby and another extrating an unborn baby from the womb. Is there any difference between the babies? Not physically. The only difference is the opinion about them that a woma has.

K.
So are you in your glorious determination to tell the rest of us what to do with our bodies in the position to assume all pregnancies for every woman?
No?
Than keep your hateful desire to impose your will on other human’s bodies to yourself.
It is none of your business what a woman chooses to do with her body. Her body, mind you. Until quickening it is just as absurd to refer to the cluster of cells growing in her as human as it is to be bothered about the number of haploid cells you as a woman or I as a man lose every month.
Honestly, where do you conservative Christians get off thinking you have the right to impose your will on our lives? You want to dissolve my marriage to my husband, you want to torture the innocent just because you can and you claim dominion over the sovereign bodies of other women.
What a horrible, grasping, nasty fascist person you and your ilk are. Get it through your head for once and for all: A woman is a human. She is not subject to sick whims of your perverted desires.
And all, of course, in the name of “God.”
Yeah, right.
