unwanted babies aren't usually raised to be successful. About 18 years after roe vs. wade was passed there was a major decrease in crime because these women werent forced to raise children they didnt want. these unwanted children werent raised to felons and welfare collectors.
What a load of crap! Besides being completely untrue, besides the great INCREASES in crime -especially in the schools. There were no metal detectors, no guns, and things are better now? Please
Besides all your BS, to suggest that you can automatically detect the life of a child and therefore chose to extinquish that life is the height of arrogance.
LIberals are so stupid in this situation. They are to secular and fearful to even realize that something can be done for the baby rather than an unnecssary abortion. Nothing is necessary for the most messed up thing America has ever legalized. I bet you a liberal is gonna comment on here saying that Im to literal and have such a closed perspective or something similar to it sorry if this is the thord copy on the board.

If you BEHAVE as an Adult... then you must TAKE Self-Responsibility... the ISSUES is a lack of BEING Self-Responsible... all actions have consequences....
Murder of an un planned babay is NOT a way out.. it is an EASY WAY... to LEGALLY MURDER... and that MURDER is on your soul
and DO THEY CHANGE.... their behavior.... NO
I am not Catholic... But. please... go to your heart LIFE is LIFE in or out of the womb.
TEACH YOUR CHILDREN to BE Self-RESPONSIBLE.... that is the FIRST STEP.
I am 13 years old and i get that abortion is wrong. St Gianna Mola is an outstanding example of a great mother. She was pregnat,(excuse me if i spelled that wrong) she HAD A CHOICE, she could let her child live and she would die, or she let her child be born and she would die... Well guess what. SHE HAD HER CHILD and that child is taking care of her 90 something year old father...
I hate when people throw the "what if the woman was raped" .....I know of many abortions that have taken place, and EVERY baby murdered was killed as a form of birth control because it was not a convenient time for them to be pregnant. Every woman I know has also suffered horribly dealing with the mental anguish that the abortion has put them through!
The issue of abortion is not an issue of religion- anybody with a shred of common sense KNOWS that ANY type of abortion is wrong on all levels. There is not a single woman on this planet who has gotten an abortion and has not regretted it or wondered what could have been. I am passionate about the pro-life movement because I am a human being. Simple as that.
While I knew the end part, it was still a bit shocking. Great video... My purpose is to be a political and philosophical leader... Just read the many papers I've written but not published and you'll see that for sure... Now if only I wasn't condemned for my talents... I go through hell every day because I discuss political and moral issues rather than sports and music... Politics and philosophy are my passion and I hope one day someone will listen... I'm not just a teenager...
No baby should be killed, especially by its own mother. That is what abortion is, murder. I personally know 2 people who have had abortions and neither was because of financial difficulties, rape, etc. The babies were simply gotten rid of because it wasn't a convenient time for the mother. Don't have sex if you don't want a baby! Oh, and I guess killing American babies isn't enough for Obama. Now he wants to send our money to other countries so we can help kill theirs too.
I doubt very highly that all these aborted fetuses would have had the opportunities to become doctors and presidents. Most of the time, people have abortions because they can't support a baby. And I agree with "juntaon" below. Maybe that was their destiny.
You say you doubt these fetuses whould have had opportunities to become doctors and Presidents. EVERY baby has that opportunity.
I am not suggesting every pregnant woman bare the task of raising a child, they should bare the task of birthing the child - that's just being responsible.
Lsstly, death without a chance to live is no destiny at all.
You cannot live life basing judgements on "what ifs".
They have no problem funding or supporting killing on the battlefield yet frown on killing of a few cells that might grow up to apparently become a priveleged white kid or so this video makes it seem. I bet they would have no problem aborting children of arab families.
many of these abortions happen because the parents cant provide, the kid will end up on the streets in gangs and take life
I see, you support the lives of terrorists who kill innocent civilians but not innocent babies.
Plus you make unfounded judgments "no problem aborting arab babies" based on what? Life is life.
If the parent can't provide they shouldn't have had sex or gotten pregnant - RESPONSIBILITY!!! Why must a child die because of anothers irresponsibility?
So why must a woman who is raped be violated again and forced to have the child of the rapist and then care for it?
You are either accepting of a womans right to chose or not.(under any circumstances not just your cherry picked ones) Choose a side Weneedmccain!!!
You are either for choice (which you may not always agree with) or no choice at all in any case (mothers life at stake/ rape / incest / whatever) This middle of the road BS is just crap you've been trying to play.
It's not middle of the road BS, who are you to suggest anyone must be all or nothing?
I'm talking about responsibility for one's own actions, in everything in life, not just abortion, that is a conservative philosophy.
Nice try to force into a black/white scenario but I'm not biting.
I believe abortion should be illegal for the proection of the baby with the exception of rape, incest, or the mothers life would be seriously at stake - a rare situation.
Hi, I believe human baby life begins when the sperm fertilizes the egg. Then the cell that divide will be unique to that baby structure. I think its pointless to say it begins with just a sperm or just an egg even though they are alive in every sence of the word, but they are not a baby structure with unique cells. I think most will agree that is the best definition available.
Once you give up the right to control your body it's gone. Today you protect the unborn, but like so many others you dont see the danger in creating laws that allow you to lose control of your body. In 20 years the government will use their power to make you have an abortion because... It was a girl, or it has a handicap, it would create over population, whatever. Or they may force your wife to give birth, even though it will kill her. Do you really think that cant / wont happen?
And China can force abortions why??? Oh yeah, because they are allowed to control your body there!!! Wake up man, I understand your pain and cause, but if you create a law where you relinquish control to your body, do you really think they wont eventually use it for some other "greater good"? There's a reason for the saying "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
Who is relinquishing control? A woman can do whatever she likes with her body including getting pregnant, but she should bare the responsibility of those actions and carry the baby to term.
Why should babies pay for the actions of others with their life?
You don't think women are forced to have abortions in America? Every day, by the father of the baby or the parents. Forced abortions are a common occurance in America - where have you been?
And once you have given up control of your body, perhaps we should round up all the gays together or all the people with aids since they are a threat to the others. I mean they have no control of their bodies right??? Why should they be allowed to roam free? The type of law you are looking for sets a dangerous precedent, no matter how good the reason.
The point is (once again) I UNDERSTAND you believe are trying to protect an innocent life. However, once you let the government control someones body to protect another you open the proverbial can of worms.
And once they have this new found control, what is to stop them from rounding up all gays and those with aids and get rid of them? That would protect the life of the unborn also?
Whew.. you just seem dense about this, is it on purpose?
Are you not protected by the laws of this land? Are you suggesting anyone should have the right to murder anyone they wish? Is it wrong for the government to protect the life of human beings?
Government should protect the life inside a woman's body. Isn't it interesting if you kill a woman who's pregnant, it's considered a double homocide.
Once you remove control of someones body and allow the government to control their life, then yes, they will have the power to murder whomever they want.(which could be to murger Gays/those with Aids to "protect" others) Do you not believe that is happening right now down at Gitmo?(if you are that stupid, heaven help you!) Fight so that people dont have abortions and choose life over ending it. But dont fight for any laws to be passed that will later be used in ways you havent thought of.
Ludicrious assertions your making now. Gitmo? The prisoners are living better than the guards, are you kidding?
It's NOT the woman's body!!! The baby inside the woman is a growing human being, a mother should have no right to kill it out of convenience, out of irresponsibility.
Since when are there no consequences to our actions? If a man robs a bank, should he not have the right to chose to remain free? NO! He lost that right by his actions!
So if she allows herself to be raped or she allows incest then why does she suddenly have the right to "kill out of convenience"? She was the "irresponsible one for allowing herself to get put in that position, right?
You're logic is so crazy it makes no sense.
The point to all of this is; any laws that are created to limit abortions will be BLACK OR WHITE and there will be no "in the case of...." BS! So, you are either willing to allow a woman to control her body, or you are not.
You say at the top "I am a pro-life person. I believe abortion is murder. I believe life begins at the moment of conception."
So how can you have ANY position that allows for choice in the case of rape / incest / whatever?
You're logic is crazy and your naiveté is scary.
Never give up control of your body by voting for any law that would limit control of your own body. Because any law created will be black or white, either yes or no, and all your exceptions will not count!
I've explained that already. If a woman is going to die trying to give birth, then an abortion in this situation IS a pro-life position!
You are entirely wrong on this. Many laws have been created that provide exclusionary clauses. Where do you get this stuff?
Virtually every law on the books provides for exceptions and exclusions. If you get a speeding ticket, is it jail? is it a fine? is it black and white? Can you get it expunged? Can you go to driving school?
u know what...what if ur mom told u that u were going to be aborted....how would that make u feel? knowing everything u had done up until this point would of never happened?? its still killing...with u saying abortion is ok..ur saying i can kill a son or a daughter jst because i dont feel like taking care of them? Dammit there a human being their lives have value
You cant lie to yourself!You know that most women that have abortions have them not cause rape but because they are having unprotected sex and people are having sex without love and being ready for a baby.You and most people nowdays just think of whats best for ME,what makes ME happy.Not having to deal with the consquence makes ME happy.You kill a baby cause you dont wanna deal with it.When you die,and Gods asks you at the gates of heaven, why did you kill your unborn child... what will you say?
You are concerned about the gov't controlling your body? Partial birth abortion is an allowable procedure. bama wants to make it more readily available. My understanding is that partial birth abortion is the killing of a baby who could live outside of the womb. In what scenario a mother's life would be at stake if this procedure was not performed is beyond my comprehension.
Since abortion is legal...the taking of a life...what's to stop the government from "rounding up all the gays and those with aids" and getting rid of them just like the gov't allows mothers to "get rid of" children.
Whew...you just seem dense about this; is it on purpose?
another aside: I find it kind of ironic how you mention that were abortion outlawed, a child would be born who would cure cancer, even though a good amount of cutting edge cancer research requires human stem cells
again, I'm not saying that abortion is morally right or wrong, just some food for though
well actually, though research in pluripotent and multipotent adult stem cells is proceeding rapidly, I'm pretty sure that embryonic stem cells are still easier to come by and easier to work with than adult stem cells.
I'm not sure about being easier to come by, certainly that would be true if they began Matrix-like fertilizations just for the stem cells. But adult stem cells have so far yielded better results and are just as easy to work with.
I'm not a biologist either, but that's what the majority of biologists say. Keep in mind, there is a whole baby body parts industry out there, lots of money in the mix.
an aborted fetus probably never had the potential to be a nuclear physicist, or an admired doctor, because generally, aborted fetuses are not wanted by their parents. Unwanted children usually come when the parents are least expecting children, and if these children are born into the world, their achievement cannot be to high.
So even though you may consider abortion murder, consider the facts too: unwanted children probably would never become successful even if they lived
no no no, notice how i said "generally" unwanted children won't have great lives. and there's also some interesting statistics on this subject if you want to look them up. One of the chapters of Freakonomics, a great book, is devoted to using statistics to explain how the legalization of abortion is the only probable cause for the radical decrease in urban crime.
that isn't to say that i think abortion should be used as an effective tool at controlling crime
I think it is pure arrogance pre-determine the future life of any child. Look at all the great people who have come from meager beginnings. By your own standards, Barack Obama should have been aborted.
To pre-determine that a fetus will live a substandard life and is therefore better off dead is a real stretch.
I'm sorry bro, but you'll never convince me that a bunch of cells in a petri dish is as important as you or me. I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it. maybe you're willing to concede that point, but the majority of the american people arent.
and we all have the means to obtain water, food, shelter,etc. a blastula or a morula doesnt not.
a bag of fertilizer mixed with a few other ingredients has the capacity to become a bomb, but do we call it a bomb no.
You didn't answer my point. Yes a fetus needs nutrition to survive but so do we. If that doesn't make you any less human why should it make a fetus less human?
im also pissed off at pro abortionests. there always like "its not a baby untill its older" what the fuck do you think its going to turn into? a fucking elephant?
I would outlaw abortion, as nothingless than murder - with the exception of pregnancy due to rape, incest or where delivery WOULD affect the mother's health.
I'm just asking people to be responsible with their choices. If their decision to have sex results in a pregnancy, it is their responsibility to bring the baby to term and deliver the baby. Thier responsibility would end there if they so choose.
this argument is truly circular by nature. It all depends on when life actually begins. I dont know that. But neither do you. You tried to pass off my argument by saying a sperm cell is not a human being because without a egg it is nothing. But isn't also true that without a uterus, the fetus cannot survive on its own, so is that nothing as well?
none of us know when life truly begins. But the worst argument is when religion is brought in. Jesus knew nothing of this science, and has no answer.
Your logic is not correct. An eagle egg, given the proper nurturement will become an eagle. A fertilized egg will become a human being. It is on its way if left alone.
We don't need to bring up religion, science certainly falls on the side of life. But to say Jesus knew nothing of this science and has no answer is not correct. He said, "I knew you before you were born."
The uterus provides nurturement but it is not part of the baby. The baby is a separate living entity.
i dont know what science class you took that said that a fetus can survive on its own without a mother. maybe after 4 or 5 months. perhaps that is when life begin, when we autonomy is established.
Personally, thats how i feel. a few undeveloped stem-cells is not a human baby.
Once again it all hearkens back to the central question- WHEN DOES LIFE BEGIN?
I say when the baby can survive without the inutero-feeding. you say it is when the sperm meets the egg. And by that, we will never agree.
while im not "pro-abortion" as some myopic bigots would have people think, i am adamantly pro-choice.
basically, my view on abortion was crystallized when my grandmother told me a story about a childhood friend of hers who was raped and was impregnated, but couldnt have an abortion because it was illegal. she threw herself down a flight of stairs to force a miscarriage, broke her neck on the way down and died.
This is a great example of why women should be allowed to have an abortion in the event of rape. Rape is NOT a consensual action and the woman therefore should not have to bare the responsibility of carrying a baby.
If you think you're old enough to have sex, you're old enough to carry and deliver the baby. It's just being responsible and appreciating the fact that you created life.
my main contention with your argument is how can u even tell the girl was raped?
in many cases rape victims show the same signs as someone who has just engaged in consensual sex. you want to put the poor woman who has just been raped through an inquisition. thats shameful.
Also, are you not murdering the resulting baby from the rape then? what if that baby, as ur video would suggest, cures cancer?
if you 're going to say that abortion is murder then go all the way. not in certain cases.
The difference is one is consensual the other is not. A woman who has been raped will report it to police, undergo an examination and seek to find the rapist.
At that point, the woman does not know if she is pregnant or not. All she knows is she has been raped. If later, it's determined she's pregnant, based on her complaint and examination she would be eligible for an abortion.
People need to be responsible for their actions and not force an innocent baby to die for their mistakes.
But by your logic, why punish an "innocent baby" when it was the fault of his father. You cannot call abortion murder, without classifying "killing" the result of rape as murder as well.
You answer to my contention is crucial to your argument. Why do all consensually-conceive babies deserve to live and not the others? they would be perfectly healthy. Same as the others. So why do you have this half-baked thesis?
Once again you're completely missing the point. It's not about responsibility. Its about WHEN DOES LIFE START.
No one is pro-killing babies. Proponents of abortion (a majority in this country) believe that the week-or-so old mixture of cells is not a human yet.
And also what your also basically saying is that its okay to murder the children of rapists, because what, they dont count?
If you're going to the extreme of abortion=murder, then that is murder as well, whether consensual or not.
just because a majority of your house, or you neighborhood agrees with you, doesnt mean that the country's "been leaning pro-life for several years now."
in all honesty, what do you think will happen if they take away abortion rights? seriously?
they're will be protests all over the streets and chaos. republicans should stay out of a woman's body.
We'd be the ONLY western country to not have that right. It's fascism, plain and simple.
this is a moving video. while i am indeed pro-choice, i am ANTI-abortion. but one thing i offer to people who say that if McCain was elected, "this" would no longer be an issue: President Bush is very much against abortion and claims that he is pro-life. he didn't do much for the fight, did he? presidents before him have been against abortion since the Roe vs. Wade, and it has never been overturned. that just should show you guys that it take more than one president to overturn a federal case.
I agree with you. However, I think 3ricericproductionz was saying is if McCain had been elected, and if some Supreme Court Justices retire, his selections, if they were strict constructionists, could have overturned Roe v Wade.
Further, while I am pro-life, and believe abortion is nothing less than state-sanctioned murder, I do understand the situation women find themselves in - I am NOT anti-woman.
Further, I am pro-responsibility and believe we must all live with our choices.
Actually, people aren't looking at how our government really works. Congress has the real power. I didn't like Clinton but I liked the idea of some kind of an improved Health Insurance System. The First two years he was in power, the Democrat Congress didn't support him. After that the Republican Congress supported the idea but wanted something like a 2% difference for the Middle Class families. Then is was a fight between him and Congress over 2%, an amount that could have been changed later.
During first 6 years of Bush the economy stayed pretty fare until people put a Democrat Congress in that wouldnt work with him two years ago. They pointed the finger at Bush but NOT the committees that refused to investigate the banks. They still dont look at those Senators who were re-elected. It is easier to blame one man for everything.
I see, so we're in the days of Minority Report where we pre-determine a murderer and put them to death before they have the chance to commit a murder??????
I will not be on Youtube on Christmas, so I just wanted to thank everyone. I have enjoyed all of your heartfelt comments. I appreciate the respect and civility that has been shown to one another here.
I firmly believe if we ALL consider one another Americans first, we can listen, debate, and discuss issues in a rational and productive manner.
Merry Christmas and a very successful New Year to everyone!
weneedmccain, how do you feel about women who got raped? do you think they should be able to have abortions? do you think letting a women who has had a whole lot of trauma go through 9 months of something she didnt want in the first place and something that reminds her of that incident? respond to this weneedmccain.
Rape is not a voluntary act that a woman should be responsible for. Therefore, the resulting pregnancy is not one based on poor judgment and as such should be able to have an abortion.
Women and men need too be resonsible for their own actions. It is abhorrent for innocent babies to suffer death because of the irresonsibility of others.
Have you ever met a women who was raped and got pregnant??? Well-I have and I love her and the baby.Her baby is my mother-n-law and a great lady.Why should you kill a child-the child did nothing wrong! My child is blessed to have such a wonderful grandma and a strong great grandma!!! Too many selfish people looking out for themself only-sounds like HELL to me!
How many of you have seriously considered that maybe life doesn't begin at conception? How many of you have wondered what happens when a single fertilized egg becomes identical twin siblings? Just because it flies in the face of your preconceived (lolpun) notions doesn't mean you should ignore this logical flaw in your argument. I think some soul-searching (lolpun) is in order... Someone needs to step up to the plate and explain how identical twins work.
Lack of Biblical reference aside, so far nobody has accounted for identical twins and tetragametic chimeras. The existence of both these phenomena should cast some doubt on the tenant of life beginning at conception. I'm not saying we should murder sentient fetuses, I'm just saying that maybe you are all denying rape victims the morning after pill because you are misguided by your church leaders' political agendas.
Where exactly in the Bible does it say that life begins at conception? The religious right often cites Psalms 51 and Jeremiah 1. As far as I can tell, the former is also why the church (due to poor translation from the Hebrew) believes in original sin (not part of Judaism). The latter merely emphasizes one aspect of God's omnipotence: His ability to know the future. So why, again, are all of you convinced that life begins at conception? Can anyone provide a quote (in the original language)?
I am sorry but it should be up to the person having the baby not people in government or anyone eles. first of all should a teen be forced to have a baby if by having that baby it kills her, when latter down the road she could have more then one baby? think of it in both ways.
Do you realize that there are some pretty powerful people who believe that we should extend the "free choice" of parents to kill their baby until days AFTER the birth? No one is forced to have a baby if it is going to kill her, a circumstance that is extremely rare in this age. The doctor simply has two patients. They will take the baby early and treat as a preemie. We struggle to make it illegal to kill a baby that survives abortion because the mother has a "right" to a dead baby.
I certainly believe in a case where attempting to have a baby can be physically harmful to a woman, that is a pro-life decision, and extremely rare.
We currently live in a a death culture. We live in a culture that has very little value for life. Which is why we see so many mothers abandoning or even killing thier own children.
It is a syndrome of the culture of death that pervades our lives.
You seem to think that those that stand against abortion are somehow less enlightened than yourself. Your premise of "your body" is seriously flawed. Most laws directly affect "your" body & possessions. Drug laws, tax laws, traffic laws. Abolish them too?
I draw a serious line at having to pay for abortion via my taxes. Just as you may have a problem with your taxes paying for church construction (I would also).
Point is, the liberals want unfettered access, & for me to pay for it.
I was 15 and pregnant and one of the first to have a legal abortion under Roe vs. Wade. In spite of what right-to-lifers say, there are days that go by when I don't convict myself and there are days that I concentrate on my three children born in wedlock. If God is whom the Christians say He is, everything in my life, abortion or birth, was all in His plan. If I had to do it all over again (which I don't have to), I would have just remained a virgin until I was married.
Dear Cindy, If you read the Bible or speak with a Christian friend, you will see that God gave humankind freedom. We all make choices that are not God's best and loving wish for us. God makes it clear that sex is to be within the commitment of marriage. There are consequences when we go against that, but He still wants to forgive and bring the best out of that situation if we allow Him to. A lot of the images of Christianity out there are not consistent with scripture. Blessings, Kathy
If you are fortunate you will have a simply beautiful baby. Get good prenatal care, don't miss any of your appointments, apply for any and all assistance possible and look to charities as well. Take anything free possible and think ahead to your future too. You will have great motivation to further your education past high school with another person to support. I can't think of many women who regret having a baby, many regret abortion.
abortion is so wrong and every child deserves to ahve a life.... what about all the parents hwo cant have a kid im sure they would love to have the kid that is being killed. its a very sad thing and it should not be tolerated...ty for making a video like this to show people that abortion should not be allowed and that it really affects us!
Question: Would you want someone else telling you what to do with your body? Probably not. Not that I disagree with you that someone who can't conceive could adopt that child, but it simply isn't your right or anyone else's to tell a woman what to do with whats inside her body. Honestly, it's the sole property of the two that conceived. And since the soul isn't in place until birth at the moment of the first breath anyway, it's not even a "living" being in the biblical sense.
Under your premise, one should be able to any number of currently illegal acts in public. Inject heroin in a park in front of your kids, masturbate on a city bus, or any number of other sick acts. After all, it's "their body". RIGHT?
Laws are put in place sometimes to protect us from lack of regard for others. The aborted are the least able of us to defend themselves. If I and others do not try to protect them, who will? Abortion is unacceptable as birth control. Get you tubes tied.
utterly absurd comparison. BTW, people do those other things to themselves everyday regardless of what you believe. You're wanting to impose YOUR morals and your will and what YOU deem acceptable rather than letting the free will of others function as God intended--right or wrong.
Why is that an "utterly absurd comparison"? I agree people do those things daily, however laws are in place as a matter of civility. If caught, there is a penalty to pay. Further, you are wanting to impose YOUR morals, will, and what YOU deem acceptable on those who cannot speak for themselves...the unborn. Like I said, don't want a child, get your tubes tied, or make use of other forms of birth control.
LIFE, liberty, and pursuit of happiness is a Constitutional guarantee. Not a CHOICE.
Firstly, we're not talking about someone else's body part, we are talking about a separate entity, with it's own blood stream completely separate from the parent.
A growing fetus is not like an appendix.
Humans have never been property, not even a mother and father with 3 kids can claim those kids as "property."
And what makes you think the soul isn't in place until a baby takes it's first breath? I tell you, the baby has been receiving oxygen for many months before it's born.
"not even a mother and father with 3 kids can claim those kids as "property."
Property. Maybe. Maybe not. BUT definitely under the authority and responsibility of the parent. And guess who's responsible for them until the age of majority? Please.
My parents couldn't have kids and they adopted me. My birth mother couldn't afford a baby in the time of life she was in. She did know murdering me was NOT an option. People saying, "Decide to do with my body are totally confused." It isn't only the woman's body that is in question. It is the body of that poor child.
While I support nearly all of your videos i Do have a problem with this video. Not because I am pro choice (i'm actually divided on the issue) but your reasons displayed in the video are something to take issue with. By this logic abortions could have stopped serial killers or terrorists from being born and I can imagine you would think that to be a silly defense of pro-choice. I suggest if u want to defend your position better that you pick a different tactic.
Serial killers,terrorists,etc,there will always be.But rejecting unborn babies,because of selfish reasons,makes no sense to me.This is a powerful vid and I believe the reason ppl on the anti-life side don't/wouldn't like it is because it hurts the heart to"think"that this is true.Just maybe they could have been somebody!
Thank you. I totally disagree with gbmack2000. It we could just educate, adopt and work with each other. The comment about living a poor life isn't worth living is amazing to me. Everyone has a chance. Not all born from an unplanned pregnancy are born into poverty.
Thanks for producing this.
Glad to be back on the net after an 8 day power failure!
"No equation made can handle the DNA already imprinted inside each fertilized egg. And yes, life begins at the moment of conception."
Genesis 2:7:
And God formed man, dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath (spiraculum) of lives (note lives in the plural) (body plus soul life plus spiritual life equals trichotomous man), and man became a living soul.
This verse makes perfectly clear when and how life begins--not in the womb and not even at conception.
You are confusing the actual creation with contued procreation. An important note to your post though - the body was formed, yet lifeless, it required the spirit of man to be made alive - which is why no one will ever be able to create a Frankenstein - in spite of man's technology.
I'm frankly not confusing anything. Can you please back your comment up with some scripture. The fact is there IS NO soul imputed until the first breath is taken into the body. Creation of soul life is the same throughout scripture and history. Again, please cite scripture. The religious dogmas of the catholic church have utterly contaminated Christianity over the centuries into this thinking.
First, I'm not Catholic but their basic tenets are sound.
The soul is made up of the will, the mind and the emotions. You are in error. It is the spirit that gives life to the body.
The body without the spirit is dead. It is the spirit that gives life to a body. The embryo is a living, growing developing human being, because it is alive, it has a spirit.
With over population... disease, famine, and poverty rates all increase. If abortion were outlawed worldwide, our world would be so overpopulated it wouldn't be funny. As much as I believe everyone deserves the right to live, sometimes living a poor life just isn't worth living. According to the video, around 300 babies die every 2 minutes. Now that's 216,000 babies a day. Also 76,000,000 babies a year. The planet Earth is too small to hold everyone. Eventually war will have to de-populate us.
Very good video. I am also pro-life and believe that life begins at conception. This video has touched my heart. God Bless you and everyone making this short video.
Great video. I'm conflicted on abortion. I don't think children should be aborted and that it happens way too commonly. But I also don't think America is set up to handle babies that some people can't afford or choose not to want. I don't approve of those babies who are neglected, suffer once out of the womb and die.
At the moment the best feasible thing appears to be to help support women and ensure they make educated intelligent decisions and to change our culutre on abortion.
That is exactly the goals of Tri-County Pregnancy and Parenting Center. That's what they do day in and day out.
They also provide for women with babies and council those who have had abortions and are suffering from post-abortion syndrome.
Many people do not know about this disorder, but if afflicts a majority of women who have had abortions. Characteristics, depression, lack of energy to hallucinations and suicidal tendencies.
Of course planned parenthood doesn't talk about it.
Proposition: the statement "an individual's life begins at conception" implies that the value of life is zero.
Lemma 1: all individuals have the same value of life x.
pf. Assume that upon conception, every zygote has value x. Now consider three zygotes, each with value x. The first undergoes mitosis before implantation, resulting in twins with values a, b | a + b = x. The other two fuse into a tetragametic chimera with value 2x. By Lemma 1, each of these scenarios imply 2x = x, thus x = 0
unwanted babies aren't usually raised to be successful. About 18 years after roe vs. wade was passed there was a major decrease in crime because these women werent forced to raise children they didnt want. these unwanted children werent raised to felons and welfare collectors.

If you BEHAVE as an Adult... then you must TAKE Self-Responsibility... the ISSUES is a lack of BEING Self-Responsible... all actions have consequences....
Murder of an un planned babay is NOT a way out.. it is an EASY WAY... to LEGALLY MURDER... and that MURDER is on your soul
and DO THEY CHANGE.... their behavior.... NO
I am not Catholic... But. please... go to your heart LIFE is LIFE in or out of the womb.
TEACH YOUR CHILDREN to BE Self-RESPONSIBLE.... that is the FIRST STEP.

I am 13 years old and i get that abortion is wrong. St Gianna Mola is an outstanding example of a great mother. She was pregnat,(excuse me if i spelled that wrong) she HAD A CHOICE, she could let her child live and she would die, or she let her child be born and she would die... Well guess what. SHE HAD HER CHILD and that child is taking care of her 90 something year old father...

I hate when people throw the "what if the woman was raped" .....I know of many abortions that have taken place, and EVERY baby murdered was killed as a form of birth control because it was not a convenient time for them to be pregnant.

No baby should be killed, especially by its own mother. That is what abortion is, murder. I personally know 2 people who have had abortions and neither was because of financial difficulties, rape, etc. The babies were simply gotten rid of because it wasn't a convenient time for the mother. Don't have sex if you don't want a baby! Oh, and I guess killing American babies isn't enough for Obama. Now he wants to send our money to other countries so we can help kill theirs too.

Hi, I believe human baby life begins when the sperm fertilizes the egg. Then the cell that divide will be unique to that baby structure. I think its pointless to say it begins with just a sperm or just an egg even though they are alive in every sence of the word, but they are not a baby structure with unique cells. I think most will agree that is the best definition available.

Once you give up the right to control your body it's gone. Today you protect the unborn, but like so many others you dont see the danger in creating laws that allow you to lose control of your body. In 20 years the government will use their power to make you have an abortion because... It was a girl, or it has a handicap, it would create over population, whatever. Or they may force your wife to give birth, even though it will kill her. Do you really think that cant / wont happen?
rbeaker 3 years ago
A growing fetus, is not part of a woman's body. They have their own enclosed blood stream, their blood type can be very different from the mothers.
A fetus is not like a body part or organ, it's ridiculous to make this comparison.
China forces abortion as well as other countries. It's a culture of death.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
And China can force abortions why??? Oh yeah, because they are allowed to control your body there!!! Wake up man, I understand your pain and cause, but if you create a law where you relinquish control to your body, do you really think they wont eventually use it for some other "greater good"? There's a reason for the saying "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
rbeaker 3 years ago
Who is relinquishing control? A woman can do whatever she likes with her body including getting pregnant, but she should bare the responsibility of those actions and carry the baby to term.
Why should babies pay for the actions of others with their life?
You don't think women are forced to have abortions in America? Every day, by the father of the baby or the parents. Forced abortions are a common occurance in America - where have you been?
weneedmccain 3 years ago
And once you have given up control of your body, perhaps we should round up all the gays together or all the people with aids since they are a threat to the others. I mean they have no control of their bodies right??? Why should they be allowed to roam free? The type of law you are looking for sets a dangerous precedent, no matter how good the reason.
rbeaker 3 years ago
What does homosexuality or aids have to do with protecting innocent life?
A baby is not part of a woman's body, it is a separate unit, a fetus has it's own heartbeat, it's own blood system - with a different blood type even.
Whew!
weneedmccain 3 years ago
The point is (once again) I UNDERSTAND you believe are trying to protect an innocent life. However, once you let the government control someones body to protect another you open the proverbial can of worms.
And once they have this new found control, what is to stop them from rounding up all gays and those with aids and get rid of them? That would protect the life of the unborn also?
Whew.. you just seem dense about this, is it on purpose?
rbeaker 3 years ago
What do gays and aids have to do with abortion?
Are you not protected by the laws of this land? Are you suggesting anyone should have the right to murder anyone they wish? Is it wrong for the government to protect the life of human beings?
Government should protect the life inside a woman's body. Isn't it interesting if you kill a woman who's pregnant, it's considered a double homocide.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
Once you remove control of someones body and allow the government to control their life, then yes, they will have the power to murder whomever they want.(which could be to murger Gays/those with Aids to "protect" others) Do you not believe that is happening right now down at Gitmo?(if you are that stupid, heaven help you!) Fight so that people dont have abortions and choose life over ending it. But dont fight for any laws to be passed that will later be used in ways you havent thought of.
rbeaker 3 years ago
Ludicrious assertions your making now. Gitmo? The prisoners are living better than the guards, are you kidding?
It's NOT the woman's body!!! The baby inside the woman is a growing human being, a mother should have no right to kill it out of convenience, out of irresponsibility.
Since when are there no consequences to our actions? If a man robs a bank, should he not have the right to chose to remain free? NO! He lost that right by his actions!
She gets herself pregnant, live with it.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
So if she allows herself to be raped or she allows incest then why does she suddenly have the right to "kill out of convenience"? She was the "irresponsible one for allowing herself to get put in that position, right?
You're logic is so crazy it makes no sense.
The point to all of this is; any laws that are created to limit abortions will be BLACK OR WHITE and there will be no "in the case of...." BS! So, you are either willing to allow a woman to control her body, or you are not.
rbeaker 3 years ago
Oh please, if a woman allows herself to be raped? Then it isn't rape anymore is it!
And you call my logic crazy????
Not at all, there are many people who see exceptions for abortion as I do. Rape is one of them as well as incest and serious harm to the Mothers life.
In each case, life is the greatest deciding factor along with personal responsibility.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
You say at the top "I am a pro-life person. I believe abortion is murder. I believe life begins at the moment of conception."
So how can you have ANY position that allows for choice in the case of rape / incest / whatever?
You're logic is crazy and your naiveté is scary.
Never give up control of your body by voting for any law that would limit control of your own body. Because any law created will be black or white, either yes or no, and all your exceptions will not count!
rbeaker 3 years ago
I've explained that already. If a woman is going to die trying to give birth, then an abortion in this situation IS a pro-life position!
You are entirely wrong on this. Many laws have been created that provide exclusionary clauses. Where do you get this stuff?
Virtually every law on the books provides for exceptions and exclusions. If you get a speeding ticket, is it jail? is it a fine? is it black and white? Can you get it expunged? Can you go to driving school?

You are concerned about the gov't controlling your body? Partial birth abortion is an allowable procedure. bama wants to make it more readily available. My understanding is that partial birth abortion is the killing of a baby who could live outside of the womb. In what scenario a mother's life would be at stake if this procedure was not performed is beyond my comprehension.

another aside: I find it kind of ironic how you mention that were abortion outlawed, a child would be born who would cure cancer, even though a good amount of cutting edge cancer research requires human stem cells

Ironic? Human stem cells work better than embronic stem cells so the subject is moot.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
well actually, though research in pluripotent and multipotent adult stem cells is proceeding rapidly, I'm pretty sure that embryonic stem cells are still easier to come by and easier to work with than adult stem cells.
I'm not a biologist, though, so I could be wrong
asdjfasdfasdf 3 years ago
I'm not sure about being easier to come by, certainly that would be true if they began Matrix-like fertilizations just for the stem cells. But adult stem cells have so far yielded better results and are just as easy to work with.
I'm not a biologist either, but that's what the majority of biologists say. Keep in mind, there is a whole baby body parts industry out there, lots of money in the mix.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
just some thoughts:
an aborted fetus probably never had the potential to be a nuclear physicist, or an admired doctor, because generally, aborted fetuses are not wanted by their parents. Unwanted children usually come when the parents are least expecting children, and if these children are born into the world, their achievement cannot be to high.
So even though you may consider abortion murder, consider the facts too: unwanted children probably would never become successful even if they lived
asdjfasdfasdf 3 years ago
So you're making this huge leaping assumption that all unwanted children will be rejects before they've had the chance to take their first breath.
So let's kill em in advance.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
no no no, notice how i said "generally" unwanted children won't have great lives. and there's also some interesting statistics on this subject if you want to look them up. One of the chapters of Freakonomics, a great book, is devoted to using statistics to explain how the legalization of abortion is the only probable cause for the radical decrease in urban crime.
that isn't to say that i think abortion should be used as an effective tool at controlling crime
asdjfasdfasdf 3 years ago
I think it is pure arrogance pre-determine the future life of any child. Look at all the great people who have come from meager beginnings. By your own standards, Barack Obama should have been aborted.
To pre-determine that a fetus will live a substandard life and is therefore better off dead is a real stretch.

purdyflywhteguy 3 years ago
I would outlaw abortion, as nothingless than murder - with the exception of pregnancy due to rape, incest or where delivery WOULD affect the mother's health.
I'm just asking people to be responsible with their choices. If their decision to have sex results in a pregnancy, it is their responsibility to bring the baby to term and deliver the baby. Thier responsibility would end there if they so choose.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
this argument is truly circular by nature. It all depends on when life actually begins. I dont know that. But neither do you. You tried to pass off my argument by saying a sperm cell is not a human being because without a egg it is nothing. But isn't also true that without a uterus, the fetus cannot survive on its own, so is that nothing as well?
none of us know when life truly begins. But the worst argument is when religion is brought in. Jesus knew nothing of this science, and has no answer.
purdyflywhteguy 3 years ago
Your logic is not correct. An eagle egg, given the proper nurturement will become an eagle. A fertilized egg will become a human being. It is on its way if left alone.
We don't need to bring up religion, science certainly falls on the side of life. But to say Jesus knew nothing of this science and has no answer is not correct. He said, "I knew you before you were born."
The uterus provides nurturement but it is not part of the baby. The baby is a separate living entity.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
i dont know what science class you took that said that a fetus can survive on its own without a mother. maybe after 4 or 5 months. perhaps that is when life begin, when we autonomy is established.
Personally, thats how i feel. a few undeveloped stem-cells is not a human baby.
Once again it all hearkens back to the central question- WHEN DOES LIFE BEGIN?
I say when the baby can survive without the inutero-feeding. you say it is when the sperm meets the egg. And by that, we will never agree.

while im not "pro-abortion" as some myopic bigots would have people think, i am adamantly pro-choice.
basically, my view on abortion was crystallized when my grandmother told me a story about a childhood friend of hers who was raped and was impregnated, but couldnt have an abortion because it was illegal. she threw herself down a flight of stairs to force a miscarriage, broke her neck on the way down and died.
this is why i believe it is a woman's choice.
purdyflywhteguy 3 years ago
This is a great example of why women should be allowed to have an abortion in the event of rape. Rape is NOT a consensual action and the woman therefore should not have to bare the responsibility of carrying a baby.
If you think you're old enough to have sex, you're old enough to carry and deliver the baby. It's just being responsible and appreciating the fact that you created life.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
my main contention with your argument is how can u even tell the girl was raped?
in many cases rape victims show the same signs as someone who has just engaged in consensual sex. you want to put the poor woman who has just been raped through an inquisition. thats shameful.
Also, are you not murdering the resulting baby from the rape then? what if that baby, as ur video would suggest, cures cancer?
if you 're going to say that abortion is murder then go all the way. not in certain cases.
purdyflywhteguy 3 years ago
The difference is one is consensual the other is not. A woman who has been raped will report it to police, undergo an examination and seek to find the rapist.
At that point, the woman does not know if she is pregnant or not. All she knows is she has been raped. If later, it's determined she's pregnant, based on her complaint and examination she would be eligible for an abortion.
People need to be responsible for their actions and not force an innocent baby to die for their mistakes.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
But by your logic, why punish an "innocent baby" when it was the fault of his father. You cannot call abortion murder, without classifying "killing" the result of rape as murder as well.
You answer to my contention is crucial to your argument. Why do all consensually-conceive babies deserve to live and not the others? they would be perfectly healthy. Same as the others. So why do you have this half-baked thesis?
purdyflywhteguy 3 years ago
It has too do with RESPONSIBILITY!!!
Being responsible for one's own actions! Rape is NOT consensual!!!
Nice try, but I do have perameters to my position - which by the way is not a thesis at all.
Meanwhile, you think a woman and man should bare none of the responsiblity and make the baby suffer for their poor decisions with it's very life.
Nice try splitting hairs, but you have a big matza ball in your eye.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
Once again you're completely missing the point. It's not about responsibility. Its about WHEN DOES LIFE START.
No one is pro-killing babies. Proponents of abortion (a majority in this country) believe that the week-or-so old mixture of cells is not a human yet.
And also what your also basically saying is that its okay to murder the children of rapists, because what, they dont count?
If you're going to the extreme of abortion=murder, then that is murder as well, whether consensual or not.
purdyflywhteguy 3 years ago
I would disagree that the proponents of abortion is a majority in this country. It's been leaning pro-life for several years now.
I am pro-life with the exception rape, incest and detrimental harm to the mother which is VERY extreme and rare.
Abortion is murder, but the woman must be taken into account as well.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
you must live in some type of bubble there dude.
just because a majority of your house, or you neighborhood agrees with you, doesnt mean that the country's "been leaning pro-life for several years now."
in all honesty, what do you think will happen if they take away abortion rights? seriously?
they're will be protests all over the streets and chaos. republicans should stay out of a woman's body.
We'd be the ONLY western country to not have that right. It's fascism, plain and simple.

No bubble, those are the stats, abortion is split down the middle in this country.
1) The culture of death with die if they take away abortions.
2) A fetus is not part of a woman's body.

After that the Republican Congress supported the idea but wanted something like a 2% difference for the Middle Class families. Then is was a fight between him and Congress over 2%, an amount that could have been changed later.

I will not be on Youtube on Christmas, so I just wanted to thank everyone. I have enjoyed all of your heartfelt comments. I appreciate the respect and civility that has been shown to one another here.
I firmly believe if we ALL consider one another Americans first, we can listen, debate, and discuss issues in a rational and productive manner.
Merry Christmas and a very successful New Year to everyone!

weneedmccain, how do you feel about women who got raped? do you think they should be able to have abortions? do you think letting a women who has had a whole lot of trauma go through 9 months of something she didnt want in the first place and something that reminds her of that incident? respond to this weneedmccain.
Mastergamer2008 3 years ago 3
Rape is not a voluntary act that a woman should be responsible for. Therefore, the resulting pregnancy is not one based on poor judgment and as such should be able to have an abortion.
Women and men need too be resonsible for their own actions. It is abhorrent for innocent babies to suffer death because of the irresonsibility of others.

A resent study showd that less the 1% of abortions in 2007 were because of rape or incest.

How many of you have seriously considered that maybe life doesn't begin at conception? How many of you have wondered what happens when a single fertilized egg becomes identical twin siblings? Just because it flies in the face of your preconceived (lolpun) notions doesn't mean you should ignore this logical flaw in your argument. I think some soul-searching (lolpun) is in order... Someone needs to step up to the plate and explain how identical twins work.
rht808 3 years ago
Lack of Biblical reference aside, so far nobody has accounted for identical twins and tetragametic chimeras. The existence of both these phenomena should cast some doubt on the tenant of life beginning at conception. I'm not saying we should murder sentient fetuses, I'm just saying that maybe you are all denying rape victims the morning after pill because you are misguided by your church leaders' political agendas.
rht808 3 years ago
Where exactly in the Bible does it say that life begins at conception? The religious right often cites Psalms 51 and Jeremiah 1. As far as I can tell, the former is also why the church (due to poor translation from the Hebrew) believes in original sin (not part of Judaism). The latter merely emphasizes one aspect of God's omnipotence: His ability to know the future. So why, again, are all of you convinced that life begins at conception? Can anyone provide a quote (in the original language)?

I am sorry but it should be up to the person having the baby not people in government or anyone eles. first of all should a teen be forced to have a baby if by having that baby it kills her, when latter down the road she could have more then one baby? think of it in both ways.
UNSCbullet25 3 years ago
Do you realize that there are some pretty powerful people who believe that we should extend the "free choice" of parents to kill their baby until days AFTER the birth? No one is forced to have a baby if it is going to kill her, a circumstance that is extremely rare in this age. The doctor simply has two patients. They will take the baby early and treat as a preemie. We struggle to make it illegal to kill a baby that survives abortion because the mother has a "right" to a dead baby.
MorMorKat 3 years ago
I certainly believe in a case where attempting to have a baby can be physically harmful to a woman, that is a pro-life decision, and extremely rare.
We currently live in a a death culture. We live in a culture that has very little value for life. Which is why we see so many mothers abandoning or even killing thier own children.
It is a syndrome of the culture of death that pervades our lives.
ALL decisions, should err on the side of life.

JTNOODLE,
You seem to think that those that stand against abortion are somehow less enlightened than yourself. Your premise of "your body" is seriously flawed. Most laws directly affect "your" body & possessions. Drug laws, tax laws, traffic laws. Abolish them too?
I draw a serious line at having to pay for abortion via my taxes. Just as you may have a problem with your taxes paying for church construction (I would also).
Point is, the liberals want unfettered access, & for me to pay for it.
hoosierinva 3 years ago 3
I was 15 and pregnant and one of the first to have a legal abortion under Roe vs. Wade. In spite of what right-to-lifers say, there are days that go by when I don't convict myself and there are days that I concentrate on my three children born in wedlock. If God is whom the Christians say He is, everything in my life, abortion or birth, was all in His plan. If I had to do it all over again (which I don't have to), I would have just remained a virgin until I was married.
CindyVashti 3 years ago
Dear Cindy, If you read the Bible or speak with a Christian friend, you will see that God gave humankind freedom. We all make choices that are not God's best and loving wish for us. God makes it clear that sex is to be within the commitment of marriage. There are consequences when we go against that, but He still wants to forgive and bring the best out of that situation if we allow Him to. A lot of the images of Christianity out there are not consistent with scripture. Blessings, Kathy

If you are fortunate you will have a simply beautiful baby. Get good prenatal care, don't miss any of your appointments, apply for any and all assistance possible and look to charities as well. Take anything free possible and think ahead to your future too. You will have great motivation to further your education past high school with another person to support. I can't think of many women who regret having a baby, many regret abortion.

soxfan12596 3 years ago 3
Question: Would you want someone else telling you what to do with your body? Probably not. Not that I disagree with you that someone who can't conceive could adopt that child, but it simply isn't your right or anyone else's to tell a woman what to do with whats inside her body. Honestly, it's the sole property of the two that conceived. And since the soul isn't in place until birth at the moment of the first breath anyway, it's not even a "living" being in the biblical sense.
jtnoodle 3 years ago
jtnoodle:
Under your premise, one should be able to any number of currently illegal acts in public. Inject heroin in a park in front of your kids, masturbate on a city bus, or any number of other sick acts. After all, it's "their body". RIGHT?
Laws are put in place sometimes to protect us from lack of regard for others. The aborted are the least able of us to defend themselves. If I and others do not try to protect them, who will? Abortion is unacceptable as birth control. Get you tubes tied.
hoosierinva 3 years ago
utterly absurd comparison. BTW, people do those other things to themselves everyday regardless of what you believe. You're wanting to impose YOUR morals and your will and what YOU deem acceptable rather than letting the free will of others function as God intended--right or wrong.
jtnoodle 3 years ago
Why is that an "utterly absurd comparison"? I agree people do those things daily, however laws are in place as a matter of civility. If caught, there is a penalty to pay. Further, you are wanting to impose YOUR morals, will, and what YOU deem acceptable on those who cannot speak for themselves...the unborn. Like I said, don't want a child, get your tubes tied, or make use of other forms of birth control.
LIFE, liberty, and pursuit of happiness is a Constitutional guarantee. Not a CHOICE.
hoosierinva 3 years ago
Firstly, we're not talking about someone else's body part, we are talking about a separate entity, with it's own blood stream completely separate from the parent.
A growing fetus is not like an appendix.
Humans have never been property, not even a mother and father with 3 kids can claim those kids as "property."
And what makes you think the soul isn't in place until a baby takes it's first breath? I tell you, the baby has been receiving oxygen for many months before it's born.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
"not even a mother and father with 3 kids can claim those kids as "property."
Property. Maybe. Maybe not. BUT definitely under the authority and responsibility of the parent. And guess who's responsible for them until the age of majority? Please.
Anyway, that's not really the point here.
jtnoodle 3 years ago
My parents couldn't have kids and they adopted me. My birth mother couldn't afford a baby in the time of life she was in. She did know murdering me was NOT an option. People saying, "Decide to do with my body are totally confused." It isn't only the woman's body that is in question. It is the body of that poor child.

While I support nearly all of your videos i Do have a problem with this video. Not because I am pro choice (i'm actually divided on the issue) but your reasons displayed in the video are something to take issue with. By this logic abortions could have stopped serial killers or terrorists from being born and I can imagine you would think that to be a silly defense of pro-choice. I suggest if u want to defend your position better that you pick a different tactic.

Serial killers,terrorists,etc,there will always be.But rejecting unborn babies,because of selfish reasons,makes no sense to me.This is a powerful vid and I believe the reason ppl on the anti-life side don't/wouldn't like it is because it hurts the heart to"think"that this is true.Just maybe they could have been somebody!

"No equation made can handle the DNA already imprinted inside each fertilized egg. And yes, life begins at the moment of conception."
Genesis 2:7:
And God formed man, dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath (spiraculum) of lives (note lives in the plural) (body plus soul life plus spiritual life equals trichotomous man), and man became a living soul.
This verse makes perfectly clear when and how life begins--not in the womb and not even at conception.
jtnoodle 3 years ago
You are confusing the actual creation with contued procreation. An important note to your post though - the body was formed, yet lifeless, it required the spirit of man to be made alive - which is why no one will ever be able to create a Frankenstein - in spite of man's technology.
weneedmccain 3 years ago
I'm frankly not confusing anything. Can you please back your comment up with some scripture. The fact is there IS NO soul imputed until the first breath is taken into the body. Creation of soul life is the same throughout scripture and history. Again, please cite scripture. The religious dogmas of the catholic church have utterly contaminated Christianity over the centuries into this thinking.
jtnoodle 3 years ago
First, I'm not Catholic but their basic tenets are sound.
The soul is made up of the will, the mind and the emotions. You are in error. It is the spirit that gives life to the body.
The body without the spirit is dead. It is the spirit that gives life to a body. The embryo is a living, growing developing human being, because it is alive, it has a spirit.

With over population... disease, famine, and poverty rates all increase. If abortion were outlawed worldwide, our world would be so overpopulated it wouldn't be funny. As much as I believe everyone deserves the right to live, sometimes living a poor life just isn't worth living. According to the video, around 300 babies die every 2 minutes. Now that's 216,000 babies a day. Also 76,000,000 babies a year. The planet Earth is too small to hold everyone. Eventually war will have to de-populate us.

Great video. I'm conflicted on abortion. I don't think children should be aborted and that it happens way too commonly. But I also don't think America is set up to handle babies that some people can't afford or choose not to want. I don't approve of those babies who are neglected, suffer once out of the womb and die.
At the moment the best feasible thing appears to be to help support women and ensure they make educated intelligent decisions and to change our culutre on abortion.

That is exactly the goals of Tri-County Pregnancy and Parenting Center. That's what they do day in and day out.
They also provide for women with babies and council those who have had abortions and are suffering from post-abortion syndrome.
Many people do not know about this disorder, but if afflicts a majority of women who have had abortions. Characteristics, depression, lack of energy to hallucinations and suicidal tendencies.
Of course planned parenthood doesn't talk about it.

Proposition: the statement "an individual's life begins at conception" implies that the value of life is zero.
Lemma 1: all individuals have the same value of life x.
pf. Assume that upon conception, every zygote has value x. Now consider three zygotes, each with value x. The first undergoes mitosis before implantation, resulting in twins with values a, b | a + b = x. The other two fuse into a tetragametic chimera with value 2x. By Lemma 1, each of these scenarios imply 2x = x, thus x = 0
