Killing a child because a the father was a barbarian is MORE than BARBARIC...
Wander off the DU reservation, or just off your meds?
What about the stigma of having killed a child that you carried in your womb?
yes she is....
she is a tremendous blessing...
If you honestly believe they are not a person, then I feel sorry for you.
Jeremiah 1:4-7
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
I was responding to your claim about rape. You said nothing about incest in your original post.
I think maybe a better way to put it is many evangelicals and practicing Catholics see life, any life, no matter how conceived, a blessing from God.
In addition, someone suggested a morning after pill. Again, especially in the Catholic faith, people believe life begins at conception. So a morning after pill is out of the question for them too.
Of course I know many evangelicals who are ardent pro-life, yet they themselves use oral contraceptives which cause a fertilized egg to pass the uterus and become part of the monthly menstrual flow. They reason it does this is the oral contraceptive causes the uterus to be hostile to implantation. But it is a fertilized egg, with cell division and DNA already underway. So of those pro-life folks using those types of oral contraceptives are possibly some of the folks who were so strident in calling you out for wanting to allow, like the President has suggested, abortion for cases of rape, incest or where the life of the mother was in danger.
Latter. In the game Rainbow Six, counter operations always ended clean with no hostage caualties. In real life, a perfect operation is nothing short of a miracle. More often than not, many hostages died along the way.
Even if a few of these people can't be saved, there is no point in seeing all of them die. If that is the only choice, then I would ultimately choose the latter.
I have heard stories of rape victims bearing children and recall that many of them chose to keep them, not even putting them up for adoption.
Like I said, with much needed help, they would choose to do the right thing. And the only "casualty" will be the scumbag who defiled her.
By the way, I wouldn't go posting picture on the internet of a child in the context we're discussing now...seems a but unseemly, don't you think? Do you care about anyone's feelings or life except that of unborn children? Unbelievable.
During the first trimester (around 2 months) -- clearly lots happening during this time.
And if that 17 year old was raped by her father...?
But the Holier Than Thou folks will lie that the president has changed his position. Interesting and telling.
I see. So because he has been consistent in this it makes it ok? What kind of logic is that? You can be consistent and be wrong you know?
Probably a bad choice of words Peach. Some postnatal people are not fully formed. They can not be killed. A baby in the first trimester is a unique human being. In fact as soon as the egg and sperm merge you have a unique human being.
It is less barbaric that killing the innocent child.
AMAZING how many Pro-Abortion people are on Freepers. They are ALL over this thread.
You have your work cut out for you on this thread. I don't envy you. Good luck.
Well, that's funny because I feel sorry for the women in your life if you're so barbaric that you don't understand the trauma a fully formed woman will feel being forced to carry the unborn child of a rape.
well there's a saying out there...
Don't hate because you ain't...
It's very fitting for some on this forum.
What's wrong? you afraid to see the truth grin at you and stare her in the eyes?
I am SURE that the CHILD I RAISE will be MORE than PLEASED to know that her mere picture could help save the life of another child.....
