@xxamiisaurusxx In this case I have to say:You're very poor...

I thought it was a very compelling and cleverly made video until 3:01. Very convincing up until that point. At 3:01 I was like STFU!

@BlindDevilNeko I think we're speaking on two different levels here. Yes, you are right: my point on the subject is invalid in regards to our eternal destiny and life. However, I was thinking more about society and life here on earth in my response to your post that began with "Didn't God give mankind freedom of choice..."

@futurebond2 With some issues, there is only one right answer because the issue transcends the arena of politics. Abortion is one of those issues. Abortion can never be justified, spiritually or politically.

Seriously as Christian I get so angered when "Christians" tell you there is ONE right answer politically, we do not know everything. I am all for sharing beliefs but keep "God says this is the right answer" out of it.

@TimSliedrecht yes but the thing is there will never be a law banning or punishing abortion to be made by a precedent in America so you can go ahead and get it out of your head. Your point on the subject is invalid anyways, cause in the end its Gods judgment that mattersnot yours or anyone else's.

@FateToFatal Most abortions are not performed until at least, or after 9 weeks of the pregnancy. Even RU486 chemical abortions can't be done until after six weeks.

The baby living in her mother is as distinct and unique a separate person/human being as I am from you. This human being, as we all do, has the unalienable right to life and deserves full protection under the law.

[TimSliedrecht]

@FateToFatal When a woman is pregnant, science tells us that the new life she carries is a completely separate and fully new human being from the moment of fertilization.

By the time most abortions can be performed, the baby already has a beating heart and identifiable brain waves. The baby every mother carries as she faces life and death decisions has a beating heart at 18 days after fertilization and brain waves as early as 6 weeks after fertilization.

@BlindDevilNeko I was referring to your logic, not God's logic. My point is that if you consider any laws banning/punishing abortion to be the removal of freedom of choice, then any laws banning/punishing abuse, robbery, arson, murder, drug-use, etc. would also be the removal of freedom of choice...

[BlindDevilNeko]

@TimSliedrecht By my logic? or do you mean Gods Logic. Yes you have the freedom to do all you just mentioned. Yes there is nothing stopping you. But remember in the End...you will be Judged by God. And, if you feel that those people have a right to remove your freedom of Choice. then you already know what to do. Fight for it. God gave you a fucking brain along with the gift of freedom of Choice...use it.
