If you're pro-life, how far do you take that?
August 4, 2018 at 3:49 pm
(This post was last modified: August 4, 2018 at 3:55 pm by robvalue.)
(I put this in the religious section because this is probably going to involve a lot of theists, and they don't tend to go outside this area. If that's unacceptable feel free to move this!)
I often wonder what people mean when they say they are pro-life. What would they advocate for, in practice? Should the law be involved, and if so, how much? Please give details if possible. Choice 3 assumes choice 2 is already in place, as I imagine this would always be the case.
Do we have any non-religious pro-lifers here? For the pro-choice crowd, feel free to comment or speculate on what you think most people would mean. Many thanks!

It's more political than religious....although with religitards it can be hard to make the distinction. A lot of them are the "get GOVERNMENT off my back" asswipes who needless to say think it is fine for that same GOVERNMENT to tell women what to do with their own bodies.
But, let's see what they have to say.

I'd do Eddie Redmane, "I CREATE LIFE!"

Isiah 45:7 "I create good, I create evil, I the Lord do all these things".
AWESOME, so basically humans are his lab rats.

"God" is somewhat full of himself, eh?

In a very historical sense, worldwide, humans confused success with coming from a divine place.
Even before the written age, you had humans in nomadic tribal groups who were convinced that because they lead and bread, that somehow magical favor was shining down on them.
The "full of themselves" is a psychological choice between fight or flight. In antiquity when you won, you falsely attributed your success to what amounts to a comic book desire of human qualities in super hero form. If you lost, then the volcano or the deer, the ocean god, was simply a different form of your own qualities in insecurities.
All humans can relate to is our own species. What we don't see is that we want control over our environments like any other species.

So is Jesus:
Matthew 28 (KJV)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Looks like I shouldn't feel so bad about still not understanding the Trinity since Jesus is asserting HERESY Himself on the subject.
LOL, is Jesus a heretic ??
He sure has some funny ideas recorded in Scripture, maybe somebody in the Christian world needs to do something . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

They'll just make up a story, as always. They are soooooo predictable.

I am seriously conflicted on abortion.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
Wiser words were never spoken.
