There are places in the world where the answer might still be "yes."

Someone needs to define this shit. When does a 'bundle of cells' shaped like a human, with a unique genome, constitute as being a human?
For that matter, is a chimera one person or two?

Fr0d0!

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

How or why she ended up pregnant is irrelevant. She can want a baby, get pregnant on purpose then change her mind and abort after a few weeks. It's nobody else's business.

I don't like the terms "pro life" or "pro choice" because pro choice implies that people callously make decisions based on their circumstances. I've had four friends who've undergone abortions, and I honestly don't think that they viewed it as having a "choice." They were afraid of raising a child alone because their boyfriends all disappeared upon learning that they were pregnant. They didn't want their parents to know, etc...

I'm in touch with only two of these friends now, and the abortions they had over a decade ago still affect them, and most likely, it will be a loss that they mourn for the rest of their lives.

So, while I believe a woman should have the right to "choose," I also consider myself pro life. As an atheist, nothing guides my stance except witnessing the pain that my friends have carried with them all of these years. These two women tell me often when we get together, that it is the one thing they wish they could "do over."

They are pro choice but they dislike how that is portrayed in the media, and that it has become a political chess piece. This is a tough topic and to me, it isn't about choosing a side as much as it is about changing how we view both sides.
