Yeah, that half that could, if they so desired, simply walk away from all responsibilities of raising said children.

Precisely.

For a Christian, the claim of innocence must necessarily crash and burn against the doctrine that we are conceived in sin and born in sin; that none of us, not even a newborn, is innocent and beyond need of redemption.

So for these reasons, I find myself curious how a doctrinal Christian can manage to assert a religious basis for claiming that abortion constitutes the "murder of innocents." K.

Other Abortion Doctors have been placed on these type of posters and within months they have been murdered. it's the same kinda shit that's happening in the middle east, a few radicals take it on themselves to do"gods work" and the next thing you know, a peaceful religion his hijacked for making "war" shit, back in the middle ages, the western world(europe) was debating whether or not a woman in fact had souls or were merely tools of the devil, while in the middle east, women were going to schools to learn new mathematics like algebra how times have changed who knows, maybe in a few more years ,pat robertson and his ilk will be our mullahs in some sort of religious run U.S. government, while disco parlors and universities will thrive in Afghanistan

It's only one sentence, you can handle it. If you're going to be pro life, it cant just be white anglo-saxon protestant healthy baby life.

Presumably, original sin doesn't get applied until the kid's been born. (Rather like Pythagorus's argument about the soul not entering the body prior to that.) (I think: I probably have the wrong dead Greek.)

quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead Presumably, original sin doesn't get applied until the kid's been born. For most Christians... Adam and Eve committed a personal sin, but this sin affected the human nature that they would then transmit in a fallen state. It is a sin which will be transmitted by propagation to all mankind, that is, by the transmission of a human nature deprived of original holiness and justice ~Catechism of the Catholic Church K.

Moonhead -> RE: Some one want to explain which part of the Bible promotes this? (10/24/2010 1:14:46 PM)
That does sound like it doesn't apply until the kid's born, yes. Unless catholics propagate by taking cuttings instead of giving birth...

There is no "Just sayin'" Tazzy, I was stating something that I felt needed to be said but I didn't particularly expect a response. I presumed that my comment would be taken as rhetorical, and it must have been, since I didn't in fact get a response - and neither did you, when you rephrased it as a question. I'm not worried about offending. I was "just sayin'" because I didn't expect an answer.

"I knew ye in the womb..." The scientific answer to the above is, of course, DNA... which is merged at the moment of conception. At that moment a unique, one-time-only (probably, twins happen, over the course of infinity monkeys type the KJV without mistakes, etc etc) human is created.

quote: It upheld a ban on late term abortions except in the case of maternal health. No it didn't. It upheld a ban on a popular procedure used to kill third trimester babies- "partial birth abortion". It in no way stopped Tiller and his ilk from killing third trimester babies. The law is that any woman can get an abortion at any stage for any reason- just not by the procedure known as "partial birth abortion".

quote: Yes...but there are living children who also need homes and family. Just sayin'. Essentially none of whom are newborns. There are looooong waiting lists to adopt newborns. I support a local charity whose raison d'etre is to provide for women with crisis pregnancies, many/most of whom adopt them out at birth. It's a clear and available option... one I advised my daughter to take. She decided to keep the baby (in my home, abortion was never an option).... the father and she married some few weeks before the birth... I am "scheduled" to become a grandfather again in early Dec. My grandkids have the capacity to be 4th generation 82nd Airborne, btw..... Abortion is, at best, a permanent and tragic solution to a temporary problem.

Protestants do not believe in infant baptism, or a need for baptism at all until the child has reached a certain level of awareness... as I'm sure you know.

quote: ORIGINAL: truckinslave Protestants do not believe in infant baptism... as I'm sure you know. Infant Baptism Most Christians practise infant baptism. They include the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodoxy, Armenian Apostolic Church, Assyrian Church of the East, the Anglican Communion, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, some Church of the Nazarene, the Reformed Church in America, the United Church of Canada, the United Church of Christ (UCC), and the Continental Reformed. And returning to the subject of the post to which you are replying... Mainstream Protestantism The notion of original sin as interpreted by Augustine of Hippo was affirmed by the Protestant Reformer John Calvin. Calvin believed that humans inherit Adamic guilt and are in a state of sin from the moment of conception... The Methodist Church, founded by John Wesley, upholds... the corruption of the nature of every man... Martin Luther agreed with John Calvin that humans inherit Adamic guilt and are in a state of sin from the moment of conception. So, unh, are you going to answer the question at some point? K.

truckinslave -> RE: Some one want to explain which part of the Bible promotes this? (10/24/2010 8:30:32 PM)
To finish your quote: Groups within the Protestant tradition that reject infant baptism include most Baptists, Apostolic Christians, all Old Time Missionary Baptists, Disciples of Christ, most Pentecostals, Mennonites, Amish, Community of Christ, Plymouth Brethren, Seventh-day Adventists, most non-denominational churches, and other Arminian denominations. Infant baptism is also excluded by Jehovah's Witnesses, Christadelphians and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I could name several others.... I answered the question directly, before the post to which you respsonded: "I knew ye in the womb..." The scientific answer to the above is, of course, DNA... which is merged at the moment of conception. At that moment a unique, one-time-only (probably, twins happen, over the course of infinity monkeys type the KJV without mistakes, etc etc) human is created. It's my belief, Kirata. I do not have to have wiki support for it. You are welcome to yours.... I am however confused that you would quote Catholic doctrine in what might be interpreted as a defense of abortion....

quote: ORIGINAL: truckinslave It's my belief, Kirata. Now it's just a belief you hold? Oh well then, nevermind... I thought it was your religious belief that abortion is the murder of innocents. K.

I wonder first why the adjective is necessary. I wonder second why you could not infer it. I don't wonder if I'll lose sleep over it.
