Nope, Abortion IS murder. No amount of faulty logic can change that.

Sorry, but anyone who feels compelled to post a vanity thread set in oversized bold type under red headlines isn't really confidant of the wisdom of his or her own argument.

The statement that a new human life begins with conception is biologically true but not true according to anyone who actually believes in the existence of an immortal soul. If one believes in an immortal soul then a new human life begins the first moment that an immortal soul exists within a human body. Good article, but the author gets twisted inside out on his own logic here. If you believe in an immortal soul, the soul existed BEFORE the cells combined to start a new life. If you destroy the cells, you destroy the avenue by which the soul would have come into the world. Duh.

I like Neil a lot, even if I don't agree with him all the time. He is someone who thinks outside the box and who writes extremely well. His novel, Escape from Heaven, is a wonderful, humorous read that makes you think.

Per #3. A body becomes “ensouled” when it draws its first breath?
This opens the way to “full birth abortion.” Just put a plastic bag over the baby’s head as he’s being born.
No breath, no soul, no murder.
Why our concepts of when human personhood begins should depend on the pre-scientific musings of ancient Hebrew priests is beyond me.
BTW, the Catholic Church long considered human life to begin at “quickening,” when the mother becomes able to feel the baby moving. Their change of this position was based on better scientific understanding of the pregnancy process.

If one believes in an immortal soul then a new human life begins the first moment that an immortal soul exists within a human body.Your ancestors came here for freedom of worship. Honor them by extending the same freedom to everyone else.
Sounds like a bit of a contradiction. The practical definition of human life, the one that transcends religious questions and applies to all human communities regardless of their religious makeup, doesn't rely on questions of the soul. Unless, that is, you want to impose your religious beliefs on them.

Per #6.
You seem to be confusing correlation with causation.
Do you really plan to get up an inner-city posse to combat crime? A posse made up of the criminals themselves? Good luck with that.
I agress 100% that cops often get out of hand. In particular, the ongoing militarization of the police is troubling. But very few people will agree that we would be better off without police. If nothing else, a tremendous number of crimes would go unsolved without forensics, which requires a high degree of professionalism.

Shilling for your book here on FR?

You are wrong on point #3.
I believe that abortion IS murder.
And my belief is not based on a religious reason.
It is a scientific and moral belief.

3. Abortion is murder....
The statement that a new human life begins with conception is biologically true but not true according to anyone who actually believes in the existence of an immortal soul. Reason #1 why most Jews are RATs! And also a lie.
I seriously doubt that most of the world's major religions believing in an afterlife, would agree with that baby-killer position...starting with the Pope.

Abortion isn’t murder? OK, imagine taking an hour-old baby swinging him by his heels and crushing his head against a tree? Is that murder? What would be the difference between that and killing it in the womb i.e. an abortion 61-minutes earlier?

To: J. Neil Schulman
I didn’t give the article an in depth reading. Why? Because after surfing through it, I didn’t see my initial thought upon reading the article’s title; Ronald Reagan, and the left’s outrageous campaign against him. You know, Ronald Reagan will take your grandparents’ Social Security away from them and force them to eat dog food; Ronald Reagan will start WWIII; etc.

This is the exact reason conservatives are in trouble because eventhough the majority of people who hold these view have a conservative basis, they fail to connect what are the most important character traits... unselfish individuality, and honesty.

Your list stinks.
One of the Founders' primary stated purposes for the existence of our Constitution is "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to our POSTERITY."
Your ideology guts the Constitution, destroys the foundations of our form of government and the premises of liberty, while politically empowering the continuing daily slaughter of thousands of innocent and helpless children.
You're a holocaust enabler.
