The heart of the matter is that, if we do not know with scientific certainty that these tiny lives are not fully human, we MUST err on the side of life.
If we assume, as poor, deluded Lunatic has done in his effort to deny morality, that these are just 'blobs'.........and if we are wrong, we are guilty of even more millions of murders than occur in the abortion mills.
We cannot take that risk if we believe, even apart from any religious values, as the Founding Fathers did, that life is the right of all. We cannot destroy lives for political gamesmanship, and leftist ideology.
I respect your opinion. I simply do not get the impression that you have any respect whatsoever for the beliefs of nearly three-quarters of the souls currently on the planet that are not Christians. Do you feel they are all doomed to eternal damnation?
We ARE talking faith here. Totally unprovable, nonscientific and highly personal. What you hold dear is total crap to somebody else. Those who don't agree with you are not necessarily liberal. I don't consider you the final arbiter of secular or religious conservative values, just as you don't look to me.
Am I right in my beliefs? I certainly hope so.
Could I be wrong? Possibly.
Could you be wrong? Are you secure enough to admit the possibility?
