your the one with crap logic .
with the example you gave the the daddy is commiting a crime against a the child ( A CITIZEN) the law is there to protect each and every citizen against that .
in the case of a mother aborting there is no CITIZEN TO PROTECT AS THE CHILD IS NOT YET BORN is still part of the mother a featus is not declared a person until it has passed thou the birth canal
when it it is then declared officially named , registered, and given a birth certificate
get it
Yes, I do "get it". Our government has declared itself to be all powerful in determining when "humanity" begins. It has "proclaimed" that "legally" human life begins ONLY when the child has been born, prefeably after spending 9 months in the womb.
Our medical culture will do pre-natal surgery on a person to assist their health. Our medical culture will try to prevent "miscarriages" (spontaneous abortion). Our medical culture will take a pre-mature child (what you would call a blob of tissue), and put it on life support until the child develops enough to survive without the support.
The parent (s) will seems to be the determining factor: in one instance a child is a "useless blob", in the other the child is "a human". If we allow another person's wishes to determine the value of life, then all life is de-valued.
It is legal for a woman to get an abortion. That does not make it right. Do you "get it"?
We are a secular country laws are not decided on what is written is some ancient book
you can believe abortion is wrong thats your opinion and you are entitled to it
but dont put your OPINION on everybody else .
FACTS ON LIFE AT THE TIME OF JESUS and passages from the bible on abortion
the Bible
Abortion, infanticide and child abandonment were permitted under Roman law at the time of Jesus1. Surprisingly, ABORTION IS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE , despite the fact that it has been practiced throughout recorded human history. However, a number of Bible passages may be relevant. These verses and others are often cited as evidence that a fetus is truly a living human being, and deserving the same protection:
At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. (NIV, Luke 1:39-44)
Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations." (NAS, Jeremiah 1:4-5)
I will say to God: ... "Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me? Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again? (NIV, Job 10:2, 8-9)
Several other verses are cited as evidence that a fetus is not a living being. Life is equated with breath throughout the Bible, and this passage seems to suggest that a person is not living until he or she takes a first breath after birth:
The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (NIV, Genesis 2:7)
..........THIS PASSAGE FROM EXODOS SEEMS TO SUGGEST THAT CAUSING THE DEATH OF A FETUS IS NOT AS SERIOUS A CRIME AS CAUSING DEATH TO A PERSON
"And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. "But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, (NAS, Exodus 21:22-24)
