You may be right Aurther. God may look upon this as 140 murders. I do not. I will admit that in the strictest terms, I believe life begins at fertilization. I also believe that in the strictest sense taking a life is wrong. I will also admit that I do think capital punishment is appropriate.

There are paradoxes in life. I wish there weren’t, but some times humans have to make some pretty tough choices. In this instance, I am not convinced God will deny anyone having anything to do with these procedures, access to heaven.

I am fairly confident that anyone having anything to do with abortion will have a very tough time answering for it, but then I don’t see this in those terms, under these conditions.

All but one sperm dies in the normal production of a child. Eggs are created monthly for the duration of a woman’s child bearing years. All but a few of them die. Are these two factoids also evidence of an inappropriate loss of life? I do believe there is at least one verse in the Bible that admonishes men not to spill their reproductive fluids unecessarily. That being true, I still don’t think men that do will be denied acess to heaven.

I do understand where you are coming from. In the strictest sense, you may be right and I may be wrong.

You and others certainly have the right to express your opinions on it. I would encourage you to do so, if you feel compelled to do it. I wouldn’t. I also believe that couching the arguement in the terms of 140 murders, is unfortunate. I don’t think it will garner you any support, and I do think it will encourage those who object to abortion protesters, to think of them in terms that will dismiss the validity of their objections.

Thanks for your comments Arthur. I now right to life is an important topic.
