And you've survived on this pro-life website for a dozen years how?

Outlawing abortion won't stop abortion any more than Prohibition stopped alcohol consumption. Or any more than the laws against other forms of murder or theft stop murders and thefts. Do you really disagree with this?

You want to outlaw abortion? Well, I'm with you on that. **But**, once we've outlawed abortion, what are you going to do about all the abortions that will continue (as they did when abortion used to be outlawed in this country)?

So, do you want to just pass a law, or do you want to save babies? Because my point is, it is ultimately a spiritual decision, and not something you can legislate.

And if you are truly shocked that I have survived on this site for more than a dozen years, you can always report me to the mods....

If we legalized first degree murder, would their be more, or fewer murders?

The number of abortions has skyrocketed since abortion was legalized.

I believe in principle you are looking for the place with the most low hanging spiritual fruit. You are not wrong to do this. I think a godly examination should be made of ministries that approach from what appears to be an unnecessarily difficult end, but they shouldn’t be dismissed outright on principle. That’s what being a BODY is about. The nose is not the foot. The hand is not the eye.

Oh... to put the credibility into what you say, actually DO be preaching the gospel. Like I do. Otherwise you are a spectator.
