You obviously don't know me very well, and are therefore barking up the wrong tree. I have zero use for libertarianians who hang out on this conservative website. Libertarian and Conservative political philosophies have the same root, but otherwise couldn't be more different.
There is one, and only one reason to oppose abortion: Because it is always EXACTLY the same thing as murder. If I did not feel that way, then I would agree with you, that it's a "personal choice issue." I think that people who feel that way are dumbasses, but at least I can understand their position. The ones I can't understand are people who feel uncomfortable about abortion, but still fight to keep it "Safe, legal & rare." Would you please explain to me, Mrs. Clinton, why abortion ought to be "rare" if it's just a surgical proceedure?
In any case, you misunderstood me. As far as I'm concerned, ALL abortions are murder. They have ZERO to do with the "rights" of the mother. And any more who has an abortion is complicit in that murder. I leave that one up to God to sort out. It's still a sin, even if you say you weren't fully aware of it. My point was this: If we could end the argument, and save millions of lives at the expense of the thousands of unfortunates who were conceived through rape, we ought to do it. I'm about saving lives, not who gets punished and why.
Get this through your tiny libertarian head: Nobody on this thread is or will ever try to impose their will on you. I'm assuming you can't have an abortion. If you could, the right to life still trumps all others.
Wow. Didn’t expect such rudeness and hostility from agreeing with you.
I think I’ll decline to respond in like and just let your assumptions speak for themselves.
I met Cal Thomas at a crisis pregnancy fundraiser. I was active in the program and supported the program as it successfully grew.
I’ve demonstrated outside of more than one clinic, one of which is now closed.
I’ve been hassled by the police for sitting in my car across the street from a clinic because the staff said they felt threatened by my presence. I was doing nothing but silently praying for the protesters in front of the clinic.
I’ve actually done more than most of the keyboard commandos here. Most are NATO...no action, talk only.
But the bottom line is that there is NOTHING one can do to stop a woman who has made up her mind.
The Bible doesn’t support life at conception.
Adam became a living soul with his first breath and leviticus says that the live of the flesh is in the blood.
The Bible doesn’t support a miscarriage (another name for abortion) as murder.
The penalty for causing a miscarriage was not the same as for a murder.
Funny about the fanatical subset of pro lifers here is that one can hate abortion, never encourage it, hope to never see it happen, yet still be labelled pro abortion by zealots.
They don’t mind heaping condemnation on women who are making the hardest and sometimes worst decisions of their lives.
Yeah, that’s Christian compassion, isn’t it? /s
