It reads like an Onion parody, but evidently is true. True and bizarre. And outrageous.
What twisted lengths single-issue theocrats will go to to advance their agenda -- total dictatorial control of all human beings.
Go be irrational on some other thread.
Yes, how DARE Christians use the conception of Christ the savior to promote life! Have they no shame?(sarcastic rant off)
First, of course a fetus is alive. An unborn baby is life by ALL scientific standards. An unborn baby moves voluntarily, an unborn baby reacts to stimulus, an unborn baby consumes, an unborn baby produces waste, an unborn baby has a hearbeat at only a couple of weeks, and brainwaves at only 10 weeks. To claim that an unborn baby is NOT alive is absurd.
Second, an unborn baby is human. Every cell in a fetus is human and contains 100% human genes.
The ONLY argument that people who support the murder of the unborn can even remotely make is some sick, twisted, demented definition of "person" because if you can argue that an unborn baby isn't a "person" then an unborn baby become simply an object to be murdered when it isn't convenient and discarded like trash.
As to the Bible, what you do with it is your responsibility. But don't lie about it. It is clear in its teaching: life begins at conception.
I don't think anyone posting here wants a theocracy. We just don't care for children being executed without due process; without his or her constitutional right to legal counsel or his or her right to a fair and speedy trial to determine guilt or innocence. What we have now is a form of dictatorship. A woman can dictate the life or death of her unborn living human and say, Off with your head. For almost 200 years, we didn't have legalized abortion in our country and no one was guilty of cramming religion down a woman's throat. Now for the past 30 years, we are guilty as sin for saying abortion is murder. As a matter of fact, GEE ..we did just fine without legalized abortion all those years didnt we? Now were all going to hell in a DIAPER BAG.
Abortion is more than just a dead baby. Its a bad attitude. It has given permission for casual sex with dozens and dozens of partners. What follows is rampant sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted children left to die in a bathroom during the prom, broken homes, lives of guilt and regret. Women in so much grief over their abortion 10 years before, they cant be a good mother to the children they have now and have terrible problems bonding with their spouse. These women endure severe depressions and long term indescribable grief. etc, etc, etc and on and on we can go.
And I've got news for you, MOST women who get abortions don't want them, they just THINK they do because they are in a panic and they are in shock. After all is said and done, MOST of them REGRET their CHOICE. Many of them are pressured by a boyfriend or a parent to make the CHOICE they want them to make. This is CHOICE? I say we need laws to protect WOMEN and CHILDREN from this very bad and painful CHOICE. Need I mention the fathers involved who have no say in their child's life or death status? If we did away with abortion, most women would keep their unborn HUMAN, give birth and get on with a JOYFUL life. Giving birth and being a mother really isnt as bad as the Feminazi culture would have us believe.
