I need 2 watch THIS 1 all the way through again. HOWEVER, just could not resist repeating the bumper sticker I used 2 C (in TEXAS, no less) that said: "Just say NO to sex with pro-lifers." Yup. Also..."AGAINST ABORTION? THEN DON'T HAVE ONE!" I mean, come on, people. I know all 2 well how much blatant hypocrisy we C running amok around this nation these days, on this (these?) & far 2 many OTHER social issues as well. The CHINESE do mark 1's age from CONCEPTION, though...go look that up!!!
... Perhaps one could call them heretically Christian, since their beliefs are based on Christian sources - much like Ahmadi beliefs are based on Islamic sources.
In the sense that they believe that the Messianic-ness of Jesus involved him dying for the spiritual salvation of mankind, yes, they are Christians. They just aren't Trinitarian Christians.
Deists, on the other hand, reject the notion of Jesus dying on the cross, being resurrected, and serving as a sacrifice for the spiritual salvation of mankind. It's hard to consider them as thematically Christian. ...
I like that little joke (I think it's made for conservatives but pro-lifers in general apply) that live begins at conception and ends at birth. After that there's not much they care about saving the lives of people. I can't say Jehova's Witnesses, but the ones I know personally are very hypocritical. Pro-life should be about promoting all life, not just unborn children. Fun fact, many renowned theologians (i.e., Thomas Acquainas) also did not believe that life began at conception~

I remember encountering a bumper sticker explicity writing you can't be Christian AND be "pro-choice"
