FDA unleashes new threat to human babies
"In the midst of a terror campaign and a frightening battle against anthrax, the FDA has somehow been able to find the time to sanction yet another form of baby killing," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "The newly-approved birth control patch uses the same abortion-causing chemicals used in many other so-called contraceptives."
With its approval of the birth control patch, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has now approved its fourth new "contraceptive" option in the last year. The skin patch has been added to a collection that already includes a monthly injection, a hormone-emitting IUD, and a hormone-emitting contraceptive ring.
"All these devices deliver the same hormones to the woman's body and all work in the same manner," said Mrs. Brown. "They all affect the uterine lining and prevent implantation of a newly-conceived human being, thus causing the end of that human being's life."
"The FDA should be ashamed of itself," said Mrs. Brown. "All Americans should reject this new form of baby killing and seek to protect all innocent human life, from fertilization to natural death."

No, I don't think we are. If Joe, John and Ben want to shoot themselves up with heroin, then I might not like it, but using only the same line of reasoning that would make abortion illegal would not make this illegal. Now, if Joe wanted to shoot up his infant daughter with heroin, we could use that same line of reasoning.
Reading me?
The population of the USA is about 250,000,000. About half or 125,000,000 of the those people are women. About 2/3 or 83,000,000 are those women of child bearing age.
Excluding repeat abortion, about on half of all women in the USA have had abortions
No wonder the vote for Bush/Gore was about 50/50.
I see you are in favor the inane obtusification of of debate issue? You question is silly and does not merit an answer.
Then let me put it a little more bluntly for you:
At what point should we not be free to make a choice, and who, other than God, is to say that we are not?
If your answer is 'no one', then doesn't that make you an anarchist?
HM says this:::The site BG led you to was one of stark reality of the horrors of abortion. Hardly a silly was to limit free choice...and very obviously a human being torn apart. The pictures alone should convince you it's murder. If not, then you have no heart or soul. I pity you.
No. We're not going round & round....I asked you if you'd known anyone who went into PP and had a bad experience, you said you knew of one, but no bad experience. Do you have statistics for the statement you made about her (a woman, any woman) dying from an unterminated pregnancy? I may be sorta old, but heck, I don't recall that being a real problem anymore.
He is my personal God. What more can I say?Are you basing your beliefs on your god as I am on mine?
....You said you support PP in other countries, yet you want a smaller government, which is it?
I do not want to play that word twisting game anymore. (re: tolerance)
But but but...WHY IS IT????? If you don't know the answer, other than maybe it really IS a tad skewed in your favor, you can admit that.
It is someone's silly idea of a way to limit free choice.Then you're saying that those pictures have been doctored? Are you really saying that and do you really mean it?
In which category do I fall, as far as you're concerned? You tell me. Only you know what is in your heart. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I forgot what that one was about. I'll go back and reread it. Sorry.
I'm getting tired, so I want to leave you, for the night, with one question. It appears that you're well read on Christianity and you know where I and many others on this thread stand...I ask you to think long & hard tonight, when you're tucked safely in bed....what if, just what if we're right? What if God were to call His church home tonight? What if you were left here? What exactly are you going to say to Him when you face him regarding YOUR life here on earth?
pcl, I'm not trying to egg you on, it's just that I so firmly believe in what the Bible says. I believe that God loves each and every one of us, yet He HATES the sin. You've said that your god is a personal and private thing for you. Well, mine isn't. Mine is something so very wonderful that I WANT to share Him. I WANT YOU to know about Him.
I'll wait around a bit to see if you want to talk anymore. I do have the feeling that you & I could be friends....
Once again, your question is divisive and does merit an answer.
Your question is not relevant to anything I believe. So I guess if by chance it did happen as you said, I would have to tell God to look into my heart and do what He feels best.
I have a half sister, who, when she was born in 1965 was the product of a rape...the rape of my mother, while she was in a hospital. To use your words, she was 'the fruit of...a hellish act'.
She was carried to term (abortion was illegal then) then given for adoption...raised in a wonderful Christian home...married...and today has 3 beautiful children of her own.
I would say that her life is precious, and deserved the complete protections of the law that she enjoyed in 1965, wouldn't you?
Rape or incest are horrible crimes, but the children that are conceived (in rare circumstances) are innocent victims too.
...rape or incest is the complete dehumanization of a woman..
No. As horrible as rape is, 'complete dehumanization' is death...the death suffered by the millions of babies killed by the abortionist trade.
Then, my friend, I have to pray even harder. You see, I DO believe that there's a Heaven and a hell and we're all gonna be in one place or the other. The basis of my belief is the Bible, God's holy word. I HAVE to live my life according to that book. I WANT to share the glory & the joy and the happiness that comes with knowing Jesus as your personal Savior.
The abortion issue is just one of many issues that America has had to face, and quite frankly, it's my fault that this is happening. I've looked away for too long. I WILL have to answer to God for that someday.
Please, don't be so quick to make light of the "maybe" meeting of God someday...for YOUR sake. Please, oh please, oh please.
This confirms my opinion, even moreso, that we have a bunch of imbiciles in our government. They're very delusional and couldn't see the truth with it staring them in the face. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Once again, your question is divisive and does merit an answer.
You're right, like all good questions it's divisive - it's sure to make clear the moral absolutists and the moral relativists, for one.
You're also right that it merits an answer (though you probably forgot a "not" in a rush to get away from it).
Again, at what point do we, as a body of individuals, say 'we cannot ethically allow one person to do this to another'? That's neither vague nor stupid - it's a question of the government's rightful role in our lives, so don't try to condescendingly side-step the question.
If you don't have an answer or have never even considered it, then just admit it.
Why you call yourself a Conservative or Republican I will not know.
How selfish can you be. How brainwashed can you be to believe that a living human being who has a heartbeat, who is moving, and who can feel pain, is not a human, I will never understand it.
Trust me, hon, your ilk are not in the majority, and polls reveal that the pro-choice (abortion) percentage is down to roughly 1/4 of the population. This is down from nearly half five years ago. Have you noticed how the media has eased up on it's propagandic choice and evil pro-lifers campaign? They realize that people are being educated, and that the murder of unborn children doesn't fly anymore. I always knew that it was murder, but some people seem to be lacking in common sense. I mean, have you seen the first trimester pictures (babies that, apparently to you, aren't human) of babies ripped up? That's choice? That's not killing life? Give it up.
I notice how you seem so dedicated to put your point across. Give or take a few, you are far outnumbered, and your opinion is hogwash. It doesn't hold any factual basis. To me, it's about you not being able to face the responsibility for your actions. All this talk of "potential human" is bogus, and if there is potentiality it is before there is an infusion of sperm and egg. You know, before the two cells meet.
I have noticed how you have come out harshly against the Bible. I don't know why you feel the need to do this. Yes, the Bible speaks about murder, and yes I believe every word of it. Yet, I would think that you would realize that abortion is murder and in our society, murder is condemned. Thus, when you see those pictures of ripped babies, are you saying that's not murder. Doesn't make sense does it?
It's very derogatory to talk about God's Word the way you have been doing. What, do you not believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died on the Cross for your sins, and that He is the only way to Heaven? Do you not believe anything about His Life, His miracles, His ressurrection? I don't know why you are so negative towards the Bible, because opening up your heart to God will be the best thing that ever happened to you. Try reading the Bible and, or, use supplementary material if need be. From what I hear, Lee Strobel's, "The Case For Christ", and "The Case For Faith", are excellent books.
Really, I don't mean to condemn you, but I honestly do not understand, despite all the factual evidence, how you can believe abortion okay and unjustified.
