If someone wants to have an abortion I'd even go so far as allow them to terminate in the 1st 3 months.

Why only the first three months? Why is it different after three months?

God never meant for us as individuals to judges. He does command us to obey the laws of the state.

Yes, but what about when Christians have the ability to influence what those laws are? Christians had absolutely no influence when that particular Scripture was written.

Therefore those of us who are actually true conservatives understand that it's a States rights issue. We believe the people get the choice. If California wants abortions for everyone at anytime.. let them.. that's their choice. If South Carolinans want to not have any abortions in any case that's their choice. People can move to where they feel most comfortable.

Yes, that's correct, even if Roe v. Wade was overturned, it wouldn't stop any abortions, just reverse it back to a states' issue.

As far as yourself.. you just make sure you aren't involved in a decision to have an abortion. Preach to others about the importance of not having an abortion. Stop trying to force everyone to be your kind of Christian. That's not what the bible teaches at all. It says to mind yourself and let God worry about the rest.

Well, if abortion is murder, don't Christians have a justifiable objective to stop the acts?

Also, based on your paragraph above, it seems you would have little objection to supplying terrorists with weapons; after all, it is their choice as to how they use those weapons. Just wondering.

It's not different after 3 months for us Christians. However viability is certainly an aspect the state must look at when making the right decisions on laws.

Again Christians shouldn't be worrying about laws. We should be worried about helping that individual. What do you think is better.. changing a law and having people go to jail.. or working with that person first and changing their mind on that issue so they don't committ the sin in the first place? I don't think God intended us to lock everyone up for sinning do you?

No.. Christians do not have a duty to stop sin. In fact God knows that it's inevitiable that we will lose to evil and sin. Our job is to help save as many people as possible. Saving people is not by sending more people to jail or making more acts illegal. It's by showing them the love of Jesus Christ and helping them to help themselves when it comes to sin.

How do you jump to terrorists in all this?
