PDA

View Full Version : Defending babies is an anathema

I want to share something with you.

This is not meant to stir up a bunch of crap, because this is a hot topic, and we have had threads on it in the past that got pretty intense.

My wife and I went out for an evening together, like a date. We went to a local club to watch some stand up comedy. One of the comics was a woman with a big mouth and a bad attitude. Part of her stage show was to point people out in the crowd and make fun of them. Anytime anyone would walk by she would center them out and try her damnest to embarrass them.

Just so happens that the layout of the club made it a requirement for anyone who wanted a cigarette or the bathroom to walk by the stage to get there.

She wasn't funny from the start, just crass. I'm OK with that, I have one of the sickest sense of humor going, and I can make a trucker blush when I get going.

Anyways, this woman kept on making jokes and relating them to abortions.
It started off with a comment here and a comment there, but after 10 or more minutes, it was just abortion joke after abortion joke, with her pro-choice stance being injected here and there between "jokes".

I was offended, and not laughing at any of her act. My wife was offended and not laughing. We weren't doing anything to the contrary, we just weren't enjoying her show. Just so happens we're seated at a stage side table, in full view of all the patrons.

I decided I had enough of her shitty act, and got up to walk over to a complete stranger to mooch a cigarette, because I ran out. Well, her big mouth and insistance on crowd interaction was her own undoing.

She started asking my wife "Where's he going? Did I say something to offend him?" etc.

My wife didn't know what I was up too (Bumming a smoke) so she spoke to the effect that we don't approve of abortion. Well, didn't she go one about that for the next 30 seconds, about how abortion is not a big deal and no one should be offended.

So after successfully mooching a smoke from a patron, I returned to my front row table, and she is talking directly to me, in a room full of hundreds of beer drinking patrons. I stood there and I said to her: "I didn't leave the table for any other reason than to bum a smoke off someone, but I will tell you that your abortion just disgust me"

"Oh really? Why do they disgust you?"
"Because abortion is murder, and you stand there and joke about mothers murdering their own babies"


Here's the sad part, and I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but pretty much the entire crowd booed me. I was seriously take aback. I never let it shake me, I never backed down.

(I never intended to do that, or say that, or anything, but she insisted on centering me out, so I told her the truth.)

The mouthy bitch tried to continue with her act, but she was shook, and even made multiple comments about how the room had a weird vibe now. Her act was destroyed, and she could not recover. I never left my table, even though I wanted to go have that smoke that I mooched. I sat through her entire act so she could not claim any form of victory by seeing me leave partway through her act.


For the remainder of the night, our table was the laughing stock for the remaining comedians. Everytime they were about to make a joke, they would look at us and make jokes about how they were afraid they were going to offend us. (We were good sports about it, laughing along, etc)
When we went out for a smoke, the other smokers were looking at us sideways, like children in elementary school whispering about the outcast.

No one had the balls to confront me on the issue, or support me on the issue.

I take solice in a couple things:
There was a table beside ours that had four young college girls sitting at it. After the conversation (confrontation) with the comic, they were constantly looking over at my wife and I. I can't help but think that we had some sort of positive impact on their thoughts on the issue.
I also think that chances were good that there was a pregnant woman there that night. I pray that we influenced even just one person in that bar to rethink their position on abortion if they were "pro-choice".


Anyways, I'm not looking for hero cookies, I just wanted to share. To me, it shows how far things have gone, when I get booed by over a hundred people for stating the fact that abortion is murder. The devil has his claws sunk deeply into this world.

Fuck 'em. You stated your truth. The substance of the truth isn't nearly the lightning rod that is the audacity to actually say it.

People can't stand that, especially in a polarized environment. The comedian cracking on people publicly is a highly polarized environment. Standing up for yourself and calling the "humor" a mockery of what is just and right won't set well with people who showed up and paid up for an escape.

Props to you for stating your truth. Even if I didn't agree with your truth (which I do) I would still think highly of you for actually stating it, especially under those circumstances.

i bet the club owner was sitting in the back watching & taking notes.

there are so many other subjects which a stand-up comic could use.

i bet the next time he auditions comics, he doesn't forget you. i think it went in your favor, even if the crowd vibe was hostile/ immature.

what was the average age of the audience ?

Every year more babies die from abortion than the Revolutionary, Civil, Korean, Vietnam, Persian Gulf Wars, and World War 1 and 2 combined.


After the show, I was waiting in line to pay my tab, and my wife decided to go talk to the comic. (My wife is a little "in your face" when she's drinking, but only in a talky way, not a punchy way {anymore})

I rolled my eyes, and thought "Great". So I waited for about 5 minutes in line, paid my tab, and she was still there. I walked up, and didn't want to talk to the comic, but of course she started talking to me about it, trying to dfend it, trying to justify it, trying to minimize the significance of it, etc.

I told her I am not easy to offend, in fact quite difficult to offend, and I told her that if she has offended me, she has certainly offended other people in the past with this act. Certainly not everyone has the conviction to stand in the middle of a room full of people and tell an actor that their act is morally reprehensible.

I told her I was probably the first person with the balls to say something, and even then, I only said something because her big mouth demanded to know my affairs.

So she continued to blah blah about how it's just a joke, and I said "Well maybe you should change your fucking jokes. I don't even want to be discussing this with you, I have nothing to say to you that I haven't already said. I just want this woman to turn around and leave this place with me." (nodding at my wife)

With that I walked out, hoping my wife would follow. And she did.
(You need to understandmy wife is tenatious when drinking beers, so I honestly wasn't sure if she would leave with me or stay to continue talking to the comic)

So then we went to a local pub and watched an awesoem live band, had a great night...

The manager was unhappy with me for being a "downer" and he was standing there the whole time that I explained above, when my wife was talking to her at the end of the night. I told him not to take it personal.

All ages. Young to old, as long as they were over 19.
One older couple (Mid 60's) that was sitting behind us stopped me at the end of the night on my way out and the husband said "You're smarter than you look".

Whatever that means. I suppose he secretly approved of my stance and actions.

a lot of today's 'comedy' passes for just insulting people. joy behar, for example, is supposedly a famous 'comic.' or kathy griffin. take your pic. all either of them do, really, is insult people whose politics they disagree with, and then it's 'funny.'

You're totally right Chad. Especially the novice crop. Ridicule is the flavour of the decade, but I will say the other comics were good, funny, witty and talented. (But not super-star funny)

in my experience audience participation is never a good thing. You have no control over what is going to come your way. Hopefully this comic learned this lesson if nothing else. It's a bummer to have to kill the vibe but it sounds like a vibe that needed aborting.

A comic doesn't need to be PC when making their jokes but the audience has to be PC and listen to them. Something wrong with that IMO. Sounds like you carried a bit of that audiences bad vibe home with you. Shrug it off. Your work there is done and you done good.

Me, too. If I go see a comic live, I can't sit anywhere near the stage, becuase I don't want them to talk to me or about me. I want to be an observer, not a participant.

Good for you, Awoke, for standing up for what you believe in.

Oh, Awoke ! Ugh ! What a situation to be in ! So glad that you stood up for the unborn. They need to be heard through people like you who aren't afraid to stand up for what is right.

The devil does have his claws dug in deep. People have no respect for the sanctity of life.

Until women stop spreading their legs to any man that looks at them
and until every man stops sticking that thing wherever he feels like it and no one has any respect for proper intimate relations then abortion will still be rampant.

I know so many women that have had abortions and every single last one of them has some kind of a mental issue.
They never get over what they've done. Ever.

They're not a mother without a baby. They're a mother with a dead/murdered baby who is responsible for killing it .

Keep up the good fight !

I was on the other side of this issue for many years. The part about it being a woman's choice is powerful, yet it damns her to choose killing her own baby. While I don't have everything figured out, I do know now that the unborn are the miracle of life, and the last refuge of innocence in an otherwise corrupt world.

Awoke, you have done a good thing. Principle demands defending those that cannot speak for themselves. The majesty of creation is what is being blotted out of our world. Replacing it is the Golden Calf of digital self-gratification. It is all around us - the sky, the ground, the plants - no one sees it any more. More troubling, no one appreciates it any more. No profit, no value.

You continue to provide deep thought through your words Awoke, and remind people like me that there's many perspectives to learn from and how ignorant we still are. We just popped our third grand kid - starting to get old, man - wondering why it has to be so intense when knowing the truth is most of the battle.

Ok I guess I am the only one on this site who is for abortion, so go ahead cuss me out,
here's an example of one who should of had an abortion,

A guy in our town (used to live there) has 3 brothers in mental institutions, I am not sure what they have, but schizophrenia is one, and their brains never devoloped past a 10 year old, this guy hooked up with one of the known crank flies and she got pregnant, they were at the bar/liquor store celebrating (both drinking and smoking) while she was pregnant, and they both have been seen coming out of the dealers house, everyone in town knows him, he sells crank, well she had the baby, and I saw all 3 of them in the liquor store the other day as she was drinking beer while smoking and breast feeding. So where will this all end up ?

A baby without a chance? maybe she should have had a abortion? Do you think these people are the only ones?

chad
17th October 2011, 07:38 PM
i'm not beating up on you, but i don't presume to know the baby doesn't have a chance. maybe the parents will put him up for adoption because they get tired of him, the state will take him away because of child endangerment, maybe the parents will od on drugs and he'll end up foster care, whatever. maybe the kid will end up alright. certainly beats vacuuming him out and flushing him down the drain because his parents were fuckups, in my opinion.

Zap, I consider myself pro-choice (with problems). I believe in freedom of choice for individuals.. that being said, I can't agree with most of the reasons a woman would have an abortion... but that leaves open the option to consider special circumstances.

I remember reading a testimony of a woman (Olga Lengyel) in the nazi prisoner camps. She said her and some of the other nurses would induce the labor of pregnant women before the nazis could seize the infant, because the nazis would experiment with the neonates... and they (Olga and the other nurses) would kill the infants.. :(

Yes I wish death, because even though it is nasty and terrible to think of, I don't think an fetus, would have a clue that it was going to die, I don't think it would have any fear or terror. I don't know about praying, It would be nice if praying did help.

I don't agree with abortions taking place in the 2nd trimester, I think if they were to abort a baby it would have to be very early, 4 weeks at the latest.

"We five whose responsibility it was to bring these infants into the world, felt that the burden of this monstrous conclusion which defied all human and moral law. How many sleepless nights we spend turning this tragic dilemma over in our minds. One day we decided we had been weak long enough, we must at least try to save the mothers. To carry out our plan, we would have to make the infants pass for stillborn. Unfortunately, the fate of the baby had to be the same. We pinched and closed the little tike’s nostrils and when it opened its mouth to breathe, we gave it a dose of lethal product. An injection might have been quicker, but we risked having left a trace and dared not let the Germans suspect the truth. We placed the dead infant in the same box which had brought if from the barrack, if the accouchement had taken place there. As far as the camp administration was concerned, this was a stillbirth. And so the Germans had succeeded in making murderer’s of even us. To this day the picture of those murdered babies haunts me." (Abridged quote from Five Chimney's for clarity... ::) )

So hypotheticals are dumb, it's like "hypothetically would you support abortion if someone was going to disembowel your 4th grade teacher in front of the students. then force them to eat his belly button lint?

I am not going on the attack, Xim and Zap. You have your opinions, and so do I.

I just want to assure you that the only reason you are pro-abortion (with or without problems) is because the luciferian media and school system and society has programmed you to be such.

Abortion and the "choice" is veiled in an obfuscating cloak of "women's rights", and touted to be an anti-chauvist-inspired liberation tool, to free you poor, oppressed women from your lowly status of "Nurturer/care giver", and to elevate you to the suddenly all important status of "Equal".

It's a line of shit.

The PTB have you thinking that it's all about what is convenient for you in your life, and that the consequences are negligable. I assure you that I believe that Abortion is the most abhorrent form of murder in the eyes of God, our Creator, who gave us this gift of procreation to begin with. But I know you're not religious, so that probably means "fuck all" to you girls.
As far as the Church goes, it is the most serious sin.

Satan has the world fooled into thinking that they are battling for equality, when in reality they are murdering babies, in the womb.
But you can't see it in there, can you? So it's not really real, is it?

You tell me.

The fact that so far the only people who have spoken up to say "I am in favor of blendering babies" are women, is a testament to how powerful the programming is.






I can assure you the babies themselves choose to live, the mothers choose otherwise and in doing so end another individuals freedom.

Yes I wish death, because even though it is nasty and terrible to think of, I don't think an fetus, would have a clue that it was going to die, I don't think it would have any fear or terror. I don't know about praying, It would be nice if praying did help.

I don't agree with abortions taking place in the 2nd trimester, I think if they were to abort a baby it would have to be very early, 4 weeks at the latest.

This is just my opinion.


Zap, I don't think too many women even know they're pregnant at 4 weeks ?

Also, I know too much about abortion that it makes me so ill that I can't even talk about it.

Sometimes they make those women drink poisonous drinks before the procedure to poison the baby so that the baby dies easier for them.
The baby does feel the pain. It's arms & legs get ripped off of its body. Sometimes born alive & thrown into a bucket.

There are abortions performed in some hospitals where in that very same hospital mothers are giving birth & fighting & fighting for a healthy delivery & for the life of their baby.

a lot of today's 'comedy' passes for just insulting people. joy behar, for example, is supposedly a famous 'comic.' or kathy griffin. take your pic. all either of them do, really, is insult people whose politics they disagree with, and then it's 'funny.'

From "The Screwtape Letters" scroll down to "Flippancy" if you don't want to read the whole thing:

I divide the causes of human laughter into Joy, Fun, the Joke Proper, and
Flippancy. You will see the first among friends and lovers reunited on the eve
of a holiday. Among adults some pretext in the way of Jokes is usually provided,
but the facility with which the smallest witticisms produce laughter at such a
time shows that they are not the real cause. What that real cause is we do not
know. Something like it is expressed in much of that detestable art which the
humans call Music, and something like it occurs in Heaven—a meaningless
acceleration in the rhythm of celestial experience, quite opaque to us. Laughter
of this kind does us no good and should always be discouraged. Besides, the
phenomenon is of itself disgusting and a direct insult to the realism, dignity,
and austerity of Hell.
Fun is closely related to Joy—a sort of emotional froth arising from the play
instinct. It is very little use to us. It can sometimes be used, of course, to
divert humans from something else which the Enemy would like them to be feeling
or doing: but in itself it has wholly undesirable tendencies; it promotes
charity, courage, contentment, and many other evils.
The Joke Proper, which turns on sudden perception of incongruity, is a much more
promising field. I am not thinking primarily of indecent or bawdy humour, which,
though much relied upon by second-rate tempters, is often disappointing in its
results. The truth is that humans are pretty clearly divided on this matter into
two classes. There are some to whom "no passion is as serious as lust" and for
whom an indecent story ceases to produce lasciviousness precisely in so far as
it becomes funny: there are others in whom laughter and lust are excited at the
same moment and by the same things. The first sort joke about sex because it
gives rise to many incongruities: the second cultivate incongruities because
they afford a pretext for talking about sex. If your man is of the first type,
bawdy humour will not help you—I shall never forget the hours which I wasted
(hours to me of unbearable tedium) with one of my early patients in bars and
smoking-rooms before I learned this rule. Find out which group the patient
belongs to—and see that he does not find out.
The real use of Jokes or Humour is in quite a different direction, and it is
specially promising among the English who take their "sense of humour" so
seriously that a deficiency in this sense is almost the only deficiency at which
they feel shame. Humour is for them the all-consoling and (mark this) the
all-excusing, grace of life. Hence it is invaluable as a means of destroying
shame. If a man simply lets others pay for him, he is "mean"; if he boasts of it
in a jocular manner and twits his fellows with having been scored off, he is no
longer "mean" but a comical fellow. Mere cowardice is shameful; cowardice
boasted of with humorous exaggerations and grotesque gestures can passed off as
funny. Cruelty is shameful—unless the cruel man can represent it as a practical
joke. A thousand bawdy, or even blasphemous, jokes do not help towards a man's
damnation so much as his discovery that almost anything he wants to do can be
done, not only without the disapproval but with the admiration of his fellows,
if only it can get itself treated as a Joke. And this temptation can be almost
entirely hidden from your patient by that English seriousness about Humour. Any
suggestion that there might be too much of it can be represented to him as
"Puritanical" or as betraying a "lack of humour".
But flippancy is the best of all. In the first place it is very economical. Only
a clever human can make a real Joke about virtue, or indeed about anything else;
any of them can be trained to talk as if virtue were funny. Among flippant
people the Joke is always assumed to have been made. No one actually makes it;
but every serious subject is discussed in a manner which implies that they have
already found a ridiculous side to it. If prolonged, the habit of Flippancy
builds up around a man the finest armour-plating against the Enemy that I know,
and it is quite free from the dangers inherent in the other sources of laughter.
It is a thousand miles away from joy it deadens, instead of sharpening, the
intellect; and it excites no affection between those who practice it,

Please no more bloody baby pictures.

Look again. It's a baby that is in the womb. The doctor performed surgery on the baby while it was still in the womb, to save its life. That picture is part of a beautiful story.




The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner.

The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother! , Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta . She knew of Dr Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt Univ Med Ctr in Nashville , he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity The editors titled the picture, 'Hand of Hope.' The text explaining the picture begins, 'The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life.'

Little Samuel's mother said they 'wept for days' when they saw the picture. She said, 'The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person.'

Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100percent successful.

The "abortion" issue falls under the "property rights" issue. The government supposedly exists to protect property rights, like the right of a baby not to be murdered.

We were past your 4wk cut off period. We have struggled with that for the last two months ALOT. We are both Christians and have had Christians that we look up to talk with us about it.

I'm very sorry to hear that, big country. I have thought about ectopic pregnancy and what we would do if we had one. As much as I would hate to, this is the ONLY case where I could justify an abortion. The reason being that the child is already doomed and to allow my wife to die as well would be foolish. I know that we are not to kill humans even if they are doomed, but it would be an even bigger sin to let two humans die by inaction.

A problem I see is that if abortion were treated as murder, which would presumably require the State to treat it as a legal issue,
then there would be many many young girls being prosecuted for murder and going to prison.
And also, what would we, er, I mean the State, do with all the additional babies born to unwanted, unprepared, sick, retarded, parents?
Wouldn't they all wind up as wards of the State?
Just think of the millions of additional institutionally raised retards we'd wind up with if abortion were treated like murder.

Seriously, how many good families can be expected to adopt retards and crack babies, to put it bluntly.

Abortion, as it is practiced today, is a modern compromise to an age old problem.
Even the great Greek philosophers had to consider what needed to be done about these kids.
Their solution was to discretely remove the newborn from the birth mother and take it outside to die from the elements.

Infanticide.

This is a problem that will never go away, so long as we remain human.

Anyhow, after weighing the results of abortion with any other alternative, and so far any alternative I can envision seems to require State sanctioned force upon young women, I remain pro-choice.

If we can somehow create a society in which young boys and girls
don't play hanky panky, I'll be amazed. Sure, maybe the hanky panky can be reduced through social taboos, but here's the thing.

Sex is power. From the most basic pheromone chemistry right on up
to the top of the Political Pyramid, Sex is Power.
No amount of social finger wagging will ever end inappropriate sexual contact.

You are against state santioned "force" upon young women, but not against state sanctioned butchery of children while they are in the safest place they could ever be; the mothers womb.
I would call that state sanctioned force: chopping up a living baby, "legally".


The "state" shouldn't be involved at all, to begin with, because there should be no need of that to begin with, because the nature of the act is so abhorrent.


Look. Here is the truth and the absolute bottom line.

Without the NWO and the satanic tools they have in place you would have never heard of abortion. You have all learned about it in school and through media. Every last one of you.

There is not a woman in existance who would not be horrified at the very thought of abortion, if she had never been tainted/swayed/influenced by the modern day satanic agenda through the brainwashing tools they use.

If you took a woman who lived a sheltered life, so sheltered from the satanic elite that she had never heard of abortion before, and you told her that it is normal and convenient for women to kill the babies inside them, her blood would run cold and she would be mortified.

Make no mistake. The ONLY SINGLE REASON that this topic is up for debate is because you are a victim of conditioning.

The act of abortion at its root is so diabolical that for it to even be up for consideration is lamentable.

Abortion is only an option because you have been programmed to think it is.

Anyone free from the sway of TPTB's satanic influence would excommunicate child-killers from their village.

That is punishing the woman BIG time for her to carry the child of her raper. Which is the bigger sin , a child born of a rapist or terminating a child conceived in sin?

No, what pro-choice people are saying is that women can kill children with impunity. I sort of am on the fence in some ways on this issue. I firmly believe that in the case of the health of the woman and or rape, if she wants to terminate that is her choice.

Now here is the area that bothers me, I firmly believe that woman have the same/equal rights as men do, unlike others in the orld/society's that look at women as less than men when it comes to rights.

Men can rape/procreate with no burden, slam/bang/thank you ma'am and walk away, but the woman does not have that choice. So do we condemn the woman to raise a child that is unwanted?

Yes adoption is an option , but there is the age old dilemma , when it comes to sex the man can run away, the woman can not.

So like Zap and others call me pro-choice.

Because I do believe that woman should have full rights and freedoms as men enjoy and those rights do extend to the right of having children or not!

Am I fully comfortable with it , no I am not!

But I do think it as fair.

If you really stop and think about it, you are giving the woman more rights than anyone else: The right to take life away.

I am of the school that man/woman should be able to do anything they want with no rules unless they cause harm or bother others. Most of the antis I can understand the wheres and whys.

But my belief comes more from my deism nature.

This is the crux: A lot of people don't look at a baby in the womb as a human. Or even as alive. People have been inculcated to think it is nothing more than a blob with no life.

You've been brainwashed.

I won't apologize for it.
Shake your fucking heads free from this magic spell that makes you think it's OK to kill people JUST LIKE YOU, before they leave the womb.

yeah. Last post on subject, these kind of threads are good but in general never convince anyone. I was just stating my viewpoint on the subject.

My belief in general is while in the womb, and is in the early stages, yes that is life but with out consciousness. And only when born becomes a person.

I should have said adult men/women in what you highlighted.

That reminds me of the story about a young woman with a 5 year old child who walks into the abortion clinic and laments that she is pregnant again, and already has a child, and can barely handle her burdens already.

She pleads with the doctor to abort the baby.

The Doctor offers instead to kill her 5 year old, because the baby will live off breast milk for the first 6 months and be much cheaper to care for.

I don't know if that story is true or made up, but principally speaking it is on point.

And not nearly as sad as this story. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/7646540/Baby-boy-survives-for-nearly-two-days-after-abortion.html)

My personal thoughts on the rape angle is that our society is so fractured that unplanned children do not have the social fabric in place that naturally existed prior to the destruction of it. That is, abortion is the solution phase of the problem, reaction, solution paradigm. The problem is that we no longer require a village to raise a child. The notion of a self-sustaining village has been destroyed, the notion of a nuclear family has been destroyed and ultimately the notion of the sanctity of life has been destroyed.

Abortion is a symptom of a much larger underlying issue. It's the end-game so to speak.

I'm thinking you're very confused. I'm thinking that you're confusing consciousness with cognizance. A baby kicking in the womb is without consciousness?? A 'person' is the creation of the state. And yes, you're right, a fetus is not a 'person' until after the fetus has passed through the birth canal at the port of entry and the state deems the fetus a 'person'.

However, new life does in fact begin at conception - the soul is there from the beginning (it is nonsense that a soul 'enters' the body upon taking one's first breath after passing through the birth canal or being delivered via c-section - if that were the case then the argument could be made that the soul does not enter the body until ANY time after delivery). Those who try to assert otherwise are in rebellion against God imo.

What your thoughts are on the morning after pill? Which prevents implantation. I think this would be better then abortion, thoughts?

I am not about to be a hypocrite.

The correct answer is that no form of birth control is acceptable by rigid Christian standards.

I myself use the withdrawl method which is frowned upon, but is not murder.

I am not in agreement with the morning after pill though, because it is an external/invasive foreign object being used to quash life in it's inception. (I don't know much about it, but I assume it destroys either the egg or the seeds or both, after fertilization)

If man can't create it, how'd the fetus get there? It didn't create itself, did it? lol


No lab in the world can create human sperm or ova. We are guardians of life, not creators of it.

First comment. We live in a weird, sick world where something once a crime , is now a "right"

Second, you should go to the Ont. Human Rights Tribunal. Remember the comedian who heckled the lesbians in BC that went to the BC HRC?

how anyone can say there is no conciousness until birth is beyond me. You think just cause the baby came out of the mother, it instantly started having thoughts, but not before?

I've been watching my new born for two days. He used to keep my wife up every night between 10 and 11:30, EVERY NIGHT for the last two months. Guess what times hes been awake at the hospital the last two nights, same as the last two months.

A baby will respond to touch, noise and light while in the womb in an manner identical how they do outside of it. An infant will recognize voices from when he was inside the mother. Their actions change very little in the first few weeks from the last few months they spent inside.

Why is that people will instintivley protect and nurture a pregnant woman they have NEVER met in their life in ways that are far different from how they treat others, but the baby is only a human after its been pushed out?

We are beings of our Creators and we are created long before we are born.
