Col,

If "trite" lacks clarity why then did you chuck a "hissy fit"?

Your posts have no beginning, middle or end.

By the way it's great you can only post to this thread twice in twenty four hours. Two "hissy fits" is enough.

I await your boring reply or better still why don't you actually debate with someone. I would debate you if I thought you were good enough. Others may show you more compassion.

Col,
there are times when abortion is between a woman and her god. I also acknowledge that I would hate a return to backyard abortions.

I am not a pro-life activist but I do believe that abortion kills a child and that it is too easy to attain. It is a bussiness set up to make money for doctors and investors. Abortion clinics, from what I have been told, are a bit of a process line and often leave the women feeling emotionally violated by the experience. Specialist support services for post abortion counselling are swamped by the demand.

Recent advances in technology show babies smiling and sucking their thumb in the first trimeseter of gestation. Scary stuff!!
It is interesting that many of the posts are by males.

Freidrich “I would debate you if I thought you were good enough. Others may show you more compassion.”

Those two sentences are nonsensical but from your posts when was sense ever a concern of content?

I have replied to your comments with clarity and directness.

That you continue to respond in monosyllable statements to obfuscate the absence of merit in what you write leaves me and anyone else reading these posts, to conclude you have are a coward who only makes demanding statements and cannot deliver a reasoned argument to support your views.

Like

“Rebecca, I have no respect for you on any level.”
no explanation. Does Rebecca care? I would think not.

“Women who have abortions are nothing to me. I don't hate them nor do I like them. They cease to exist.”
No they do not cease to exist Friedrich, they continue to live their lives and hopefully develop as people, a shame you have not.

“If anyone thinks that God condones the taking of life then become an atheist.”
Now that is not for you to decide but from your posts and cowardly posture, would I be right in assuming you are a Catholic Priest ? I could certainly understand if you were, no empathy for women, intolerant and incapable of arguing from reason because all you know is dumb dogma.

“I wish I was one of the majority who don't have a conscience,”
Oh so “special” and you come here to visit with us mortal’s.

Friedrich, regardless of your cowardly ways, I will not let you off the hook.

If you want to post please go ahead. However, expect me to post responses to your drivel and when you simply churn out trite and banal edicts and quote dogma, expect me to challenge you. Because that is who I am and that is my “choice”.


Aka
“....abortion is between a woman and her god.”
Yes and not for anyone else to decide when it is otherwise.

As for the experience – I have always assumed abortion comes at some “cost” to the woman.

It may have been, but since I link to no Catholic blogs it seems doubtful. That is, unless you don't know the difference between Catholic and protestant. I link to several protestant blogs and sites.

I am a Christian, but I was anti-abortion before I was converted.

It is not true that anti-abortion arguments come solely from religion. Those may be the only ones you have heard, but if so you may not have talked to many people or read widely. Many people have deep seated concerns about abortion. Reading a book on the early development of a child, or seeing an ultrasound, would be enough to cause such concern.

These two sites demonstrate the diversity of approaches to this issue:
