Bump for later viewing - BTW, welcome to Free Republic.
Would it be one minute, three minutes, thirty minutes, three hours, 24 hours, etc.
The fact that the term "murder" is applied at a specific time, what about three minutes/hours/days, does the term "murder" still apply?
You get my point.
1 minute before birth. When is birth? Delivery through the v.opening? What is partial birth abortion?
Is a c-section not really birth because the baby is cut out the side rather that using the front door?
Is it not really a baby because it hasn’t come to full term yet?
I’m afraid I have to correct you...I believe she called it “murdah”. :)
I can only think of 4 instances in which abortion would have been justified. They’re sitting on either side of Ron Paul.
I once dated a woman who was Episcopalian, and a graduate of one that faith’s most prestigious seminaries(but not as a divinity student) who used to say the following: “It’s not a child until it’s born.”
That did it for me.
I am now maried to a beautiful and God fearing woman. She is a gift from God.
This was very good! Dr. Paul (he earned that title on this topic) responded very well in this dialogue.
Any time you intentionally stop an innocent beating heart and active brainwaves it’s murder. Those who don’t believe that now will when they find themselves before that Great White Throne.

Excuse me, but who the f*@k is Joy Behar?
Show me one person who can say “I was aborted and turned out fine!” and I’ll join NOW as a lifetime member.
I saw that show...poor Joy was struggling to show any kind of consistency in her reasoning.
Ron Paul was the guest. He made the point that if he, as a medical professional, harmed a fetus, he could be sued. His point being that there are situations when the fetus is seen as having certain rights or protections under the law.
He went on to say that if that same baby were killed by the mother, it is somehow seen as her right? How can that be?
Joy struggled with that, and it was the first time I’ve seen her unable to come right back with some sort of snarky remark.
Whoopi jumped in and relied on the ‘ole standby “we’re talking about teens in trouble here who cannot have all these children!”
