Effects of abortion can be long lasting

I found your statement to be harsh and heartless.

I find ripping babies limbs from limb while they are innocently developing in the comfort of the womb that GOD created to be harsh and heartless. The guy I callled a little puke is still alive. How's the baby doing?

I was reading to see when this argument would come up.

Yes, and homosexuals would just be happy and well-adjusted if only we would accept them. And communism would really be a utopian if all the world would just go along. And gun control would work if everyone would voluntarily give up their guns. And....

The baby is, more than likely, currently suffering less than the "little puke".

 

I find abortion to be a harsh and heartless abomination as well, but it is the most propagandized abomination that exists. Again, I ask, have you never operated out of fear and ignorance?

 

This young man -- or "little puke", whichever term you're more comfortable with -- seems to be grieving daily over the "choice", which is a lot more than I can say for those who herald the act as an outward manifestation of liberty. Slamming those who have come to see the truth behind the lie helps no one -- not the "puke", not the baby, not the cause.

Ah, rationalization. The last refuge of the defeated.

Propagandized? How could something you find to be a "heartless abomination" be considered propaganda?

Again, I ask, have you never operated out of fear and ignorance?

Of course I have. What does that have to do with anything?

This young man -- or "little puke", whichever term you're more comfortable with

Little puke.

-- seems to be grieving daily over the "choice",

Yeah, but he'd be grieving a lot more if he had to pay child support for 18+ years

.which is a lot more than I can say for those who herald the act as an outward manifestation of liberty.

Well, maybe a little more, but certainly not a LOT more.

It might help future babies.

You asked the question. I simply answered it. Regardless of one's worldview, it was probably even the correct answer. I am in no way "defeated" by your caustic remark or your continued condescension and arrogance.

You quote me yet still get me wrong. I said it was propagandized, not propaganda. And if you think that abortion is not the most propagandized abomination I know not how you have escaped all media, and all campaign slogans of the 'Rats. It's simply "choice" remember?

Of course I have. What does that have to do with anything?

D'oh! Gee, I wonder. Unless you believe that most people have abortions because the thought of paying someone to kill their child really thrills them, most rational people understand that most abortions, especially those of teenage offspring, are decided upon due to fear and ignorance.

Statements that "logically challenged" are not worth a retort.

Really? Not a lot more? So this poor guy is just one step ahead of Mrs. Gore and Mrs. Bradley clinking champagne glasses in celebration of a Roe vs. Wade anniversary? Or a Kate Michelman? Thank goodness you're not God and just play one on a message board, since the fruit of repentance in your domain would obviously still be just a sour grape.

Wrong. Wrongwrongwrongwrongwrong. Unless, of course, you think Slepian's murderer Kopp is the right kind of evangelist. It takes love and compassion to change hearts and minds. You can't even have compassion on those who already have.

What a crock. They are decided upon out of selfishness.

[CindyDawg]

would you rather have violence or no thinking?

I'm not sure what you are saying here but I want abortions to be declared illegal and stopped. I also want to see more programs like this one, helping these people to seek forgiveness and peace. CD

That was an excellent post about your friend. The part that I find most chilling is the part about the empty house and how his life would have been different, had he only done things differently and would do anything to go back and change the things that he had done. For someone in this situation Christ words, "blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted" come to mind and I wish him all the best and hope he keeps at it. What I do wonder though is this guy doing any kind of volenteer work with high school and college age kids? Warning them of the evils that exist. After all it has been my experience that your parents and teachers will never tell you the complete truth.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Brian did work with the local Save-a-Life until recently. He also spoke to our homeschool group just last Monday. He is active in several ministries.

He did remarry, after his divorce had been final seven years. Not that that number has anything to do with it.;-)

[A CA Guy]

I agree.

[MacDorcha]

i was just saying, it's next to pointles to wish for both Peace and anything Rightious at the same time. i agree with getting rid of abortion, but phrases like "why can't we have both?" gets almost hippy... im not talking down to you. or at least,im not intinding to, just keep in mind that life has a weird sense of humor...

Especially with the religionoids screaming "Murderer!" in your face for the rest of your life.

I would think more devastating than that would be to view an ultrasound later of another baby. Maybe watch a child of 3 months gestation sucking it's thumb. I've never met anyone who chose not to have an abortion regret their child's life, not even those who gave their babies up for adoption. At any rate, it's obvious there isn't much counseling done in abortion clinics.
