I was going to add the above but wanted to keep my response simple. You are exactly right.
My ten years as a probation Officer serve as a personal testament to the above reality. I walked through some of the most devastated neighborhoods in the country on a regular basis. Such places are monuments to the failed welfare state and frequently resemble bombed out areas in war zones. The lives of people in such locals were equally as destroyed. Liberals will offer more of their failed solutions to solve the problems they have exacerbated which will further exacerbate them.
When my parents were young, a person could walk through center city in my hometown at four or five in the morning fearing NOTHING. One wouldn't dream of attempting it in broad daylight today (and for a long time). The blighted areas grow increasingly larger and with no end in sight. It is undeniably heartbreaking.
Exactly. It's more like "Brave New World."
Good example of lefists "solutions" being worse than the original problem.
Leftist philosophy (if you want to call it that) is not only wrong, it's evil.
Well, many of the Nazi scientists just came over to the US and got hired by the military and industry. And some over here were supporters of Hitler's ideas - like Maragaret Sanger (Planned Parenthood) and Henry Ford. Wasn't Joe Kennedy keen on Hitler as well?
Good elucidation.
"Choosing" a better baby is all about ME, nothing about the wellbeing of the rejected babies. Children as commodities.
The above "wonders" could not have been achieved without the Welfare State, which robs men of the ability to believe in themselves and encourages dependency on cruel and callous goverment entities. Yes, I'd say that's extraordinarily evil.
Only birth control pills which are abortifacients are considered killing. Almost no one believes all birth control pills or all forms of birth control fall in the "murderous" category.
I stand corrected, a fertilized egg is an ova.
As for number two. We have free will; but I assert that the creator knows us, knows what we will do; that from HIS point of view, the future is destined.
For example, I assume that you will not kill your children; therefore a frame of reference as to the future with you and your children can be 'known'. And there is also the point of view that in God's plan, we may be nothing more than breeding stock for a future generation in which God may use. Possibly, our day to day meanderings are of little import; for our entire purpose in life may have been simply to influence someone else.
I am not Catholic, I do not recognize ANY human as the sole intrepretor of scripture. The pope is and should be a positive leader; but given the history of the Catholic chuch (recent events included), I think that calling one 'arrogant' for questioning the logic behind various assertions relatively inane. I reserve the right to question everything, whether or not you approve. I question Islam and thier precepts, I question Catholics, Baptists, Wiccans, Buddhists and others as well. One would wonder why you have a rage against someone who merely inquires about your morals. Are you that weak that you cannot bear scruitiny?
Thanks ... that makes sense. I'm looking for a consistent reference point; and this is consistent.
Then, other forms of birth control such as condoms, diaphram or foam barriers are not murder; but are still prohibited as a lesser form of sin, for they interfere with fertilization.
If the goal is to 'go forth and multiply'; and forms of birth control are discouraged, then wouldn't a woman be encouraged to have as many children as she is physically capable of bearing? For I have found no scriptural reference telling us to limit the number of children; with regard to financial capacity, maritial stability or the desire to have children at all.
You fumbled out, "I stand corrected, a fertilized egg is an ova." And with that further error you prove you don't know what you're talking about. Sorry, you warrant no further exchange while trying to present yourself as far more knowledgeable than you actually are. [HINT: as soon as fecundation occurs to the ovum (fertilization), the resulting new life is a zygote and no longer an 'egg' (egg being the euphemism you chose or by default used for the female gamete in mammalian reproduction) when discussing mammalian species, at least.]
Bwahahahaha ... by the time you actually grow up (if that happens???), I'll be too old to care about your silly self. Aren't you just the cutest thing?... Not knowledgeable in the arena you're spittling about with, but vacuous enough to never catch on. You must be downright blissful!
