"When we stand before God, and He asks about all the millions of babies murdered, what will you say?"

I'll say, "Bless their unborn souls, but I supported the right of women to choose. I erred on the side of people that were actually born and in existence, and if they felt they weren't ready to give birth, they knew better than I did. I chose not to punish women that made the mistake of getting pregnant by forcing them to carry an unwanted child to full term. These women were encouraged to consider having the child, then giving it up for adoption, but since it was their body, they had the final say." This line of thinking, according to the Rudloph apologists, is going to cause me to burn.

I have a feeling that your heart and soul would be known in advance. That operation has great intel.

"This line of thinking, according to the Rudloph apologists, is going to cause me to burn."

Somehow, I doubt that. No religion I know of claims that reason and compassion is a route to the Pits.

A very eloquent post, sir.

One does not have to be a Rudolph apologist to disagree with this statement. In fact, if Eric Rudolph is indeed guilty of the crimes he is charged with, I would gladly execute him myself. That said, you are making a huge logical fallacy in your endorsement of the pro-choice staus quo. The fact that a woman has sovereignty over her own body does not excuse the slaughter of her unborn child any more than my rights as a property owner excuse me locking the fire doors in my apartment building, or fumigating it while the tenants are home.

Abortion is murder except in those rare cases (eptopic pregnancy, etc.) where it constitutes self-defense. There are just as many legitimate excuses for abortion as there are excuses for me blowing away my next door neighbor.
