Your post is just so absolutely hypocritical that I have to respond with more detail.
I do not believe it is acceptable to take a human life "ripping it apart, limb from limb, snapping it's little head from its spine...". That's an abortion. I do not think abortion is MORAL or should be LEGAL.
So murder is immoral but shouldn't be illegal?
There is a line we are each willing to draw: what is MORAL and what is LEGAL. What do WE think is right and what do we think the govt should regulate?
No, there's not a line each of us is willing to draw about taking innocent life. Once again, should the government regulate murder? Should they regulate giving care to the newborn instead of setting it on a table and then having a discussion with the mother?
Some contraceptives will prevent a fertilized ovum from implanting, did you know that? Such as the IUD. I might be morally opposed to this but I don't think that should be legally regulated because a pregnancy hasn't been established. Pregnancy is not established at fertilized ovum. It's established when that ovum implants in the uterus.
Pregnancy is not the determination of life. What you're doing now is arguing the viability argument just like the rest of your pro-abortion allies. You're just arguing for an earlier state of viability.
You're arguing that we don't let nature, or God's plan if you will and if you won't - nature, run it's course and the baby attaches or doesn't attach. Or the rest of your pro-abortion allies say, either the baby would survive or it wouldn't.
The answer is, let nature, or God's plan, take its own course and we don't get to interject our wishes and prevent God's plan, whether it is attachment and miscarriage, or don't attach, or for the baby to come to birth, it is God's plan and God's will - or since you're not nearly as Christian as you pretend to be and lie to yourself that you are, at least have the decency to call it nature's plan and let nature take it's course. You don't get to decide.
I disagree strongly with "The only intelligent, reasonable, honest answer is no abortion except to save the life of the mother."
I get that you are a pro-abortionist. Just in fewer cases than Margaret Sanger and Elizabeth Warren.
I'm disappointed to hear you say this because, until this thread, I had held you in respect for you respect for human life. But in this thread the truth has come out and you're not actually anti-abortion, you just want fewer of them than does AOC and Warren and company.
But I'll give you kudos for being honest and coming out of the closet as a pro-abortionist.
YOU can make that choice, and tell your daughter that. *I* will not. Note: this is not RU 486 which expels (aborts) a known pregnancy. It's the morning-after pill I'm talking about.
I don't know how old you are but when the abortion pill was first being argued for availability, and against availability, it wasn't called the "morning-after pill"; it was, properly, called the abortion pill. "Morning after" instead of "Abortion" is a euphemism just as is saying "fetus" or "fertilized egg" or your own personal choice, "fertilized ovum" instead of calling it a baby.
You should really go back to all your posts where you called it a baby and delete the lie (in your mind) of calling it a baby since you clearly did not, all along, believe it is a baby. Fertilized ovum my ass.
Secondly, you can tell your daughter let's see if you conceive your rapist's child at 15 years old. But I think your attempts to make this LEGAL would be very, very unpopular.
Hopefully, my daughter would have already understood that we don't kill babies for the sin of its creation.
But we don't develop our morals based on popularity. Supporting the overturning of Roe v. Wade wasn't very popular, either. From your popularity standard, you were wrong to support overturning Roe v. Wade.
Like I said, I'm disappointed, stunned even, to have to argue against abortion with you, based on your post history, but it shouldn't have surprised me. Most people only have morals when it's popular.
You're pro-abortion.
