So… Quote:
If the woman has cheated and is carrying another man’s child, though, the mystical dirt water; we can call it magic mud, will cause her to immediately miscarry. This is a directive coming straight from God himself to Moses. So even if your little Bible thumping pro-life scripture can dodge all these other verses you kiddie clipped, you can’t deny that this one essentially says, “Abortion is okay as long as it’s forced upon a woman, against her will, for cheating on her husband.” Yeah… that’s way more acceptable than what pro-choice advocates are going for… | ||||

The impass here is obviously that you don't consider babies human beings. I do. So maybe explain why they aren't human beings instead of some comparison to the obvious tragedy of kids dying in war, or cops making a split second life or death decision that kills somebody. | |||

5:11 comes from Jewish law in numbers, something Jesus brought to an end. ..So yeah he and the people you're talking to agree with you there. Quote:
We now live under the law of Christ, not beneath the law of Moses. The reason 5:11 doesnt really hold up against pro lifers is because in the USA they claim that by accepting Jesus Christ as Savior a Christian is freed from any obligation to obey God’s law but left us with a warning to follow the 10 comandments: Quote:
so it's all about how we define killing/person/life/individual/etc to their religion at least. | |||||

I think it's just about choice. The state yields all kinds of death through a variety of means. We Americans make choices that support that, more or less, whether we want to or not. Just going to the goddamn grocery store can be causing children to die elsewhere in the world, indirectly. Certainly funding militaries and police, or various government departments. I don't get much choice in where my tax dollars go, but I could endeavor to minimize the amount I generate (living in the woods or something) ... which I don't do. I do work, and pay taxes. Another choice. Choosing which brands I purchase or don't purchase, assuming the market competition isn't an illusion and they're not all terrible. This is why we say "no ethical consumption under capitalism" But for some reason, conservatives have decided that this particular choice - which JUUUUUST so happens to give a (conservative controlled) state a huge amount of power over women - needs to be regulated with the authority (and implied violence) of the state. This is the case whether it's a single actual state or the entire nation. I find it all very hypocritical, for a party that's so often called itself "small government", "libertarian", "pro-freedom", et cetera. I also find the silence of the libertarian portion of the right wing pretty telling. None of the state's business. | |||

I still don't understand why you can't just oppose abortion and not be religious? I mean I totally get the religious argument against it, but isn't it unnecessary? Like, I don't need a religious reason not to kick a puppy in the head, I just don't cause I'd feel really horrible. I'd also feel horrible killing a baby and throwing it in the garbage.
