atheism and children

[Jenny A]

Atheists do favor abortion so I could understand why they don't like kids

First of all, I'm sure more atheists are in favor of allowing abortions than Christians. That's not the same as celebrating them. And there are pro choice Christians.

But, and I think it's the big thing that you are missing is that those of us who are pro choice generally don't think that fetuses are children. Neither does the Bible. It's one of the few cases where I agree with the Bible. Fetuses aren't children.

I like children. Can't say I really like babies, though I loved mine. But I don't like all adults generally either. I do find injuring or neglecting babies or children reprehensible. I find injuring able adults reprehensible and injuring or neglecting disabled adults reprehensible. Ending fetuses not so much. Why? Because they are not people yet.
