yea sorry thats probably because it is not easy to understand. but whether or not they have the ability to feel guilty or not i guess doesnt matter because i dont think she was aware of how the abortion would affect her.

o.k.Now I see your point. However,most women when making this choice,don’t consider the consequences,they see abortion as a solution to a problem. So,yes you are right,if they had a chrystal ball,coud see how this decision would l forever change their lives, and not for the better,would they make a different choice? That’s why as was previously stated by another poster,women who have experienced abortion are the best advocates for choosing life.They are living with the pain of their decision,they know how destructive abortion is.😦
 
The whole situation is sad. Her story is just one of the other 60,000,000+ since 1970 in the United States.

May the baby’s souls rest in peace with God.

Everyone needs to appreciate this life we have, whether you believe God granted it or not. I know their is a lady on here with no beliefs, but she is pro-life, and I give her a lot of credit for that (Sarah X). I know we have our disagreements with Sarah on Godly issues, but there is a misconception that all atheists are pro-choice.

I know all humans can come together and protect the sanctity of life if we humble ourselves and put others first.

It really comes down to the question, “What if I was aborted?”

Exactly. If God and the subsequent guilt for offending Him through abortion were taken out of the equation,I can’t help but feel that even an atheist would grieve over the loss of “what could have been”,just as a faithful person. Do unbelievers not grieve the loss of their loved ones too? In other word there are two parts to the regret one feels over abortion,sinning and offending God,and a sense of loss:(

doesnt the sense of loss come from offending god?

God* thanks. And part of the “sense of loss” comes from offending God, and part of it comes from “you know you just ended a person’s right to live.” Can you imagine your life without one of your best friends, cousins, or even children? How would you feel if YOU were responsible for one of their deaths? I did not mention parents or grandparents because if one of them was aborted, you would not be here.

Be thankful for your life. Let everyone enjoy life just like you.

Abortion is wrong.
 
I can’t believe that its so hard to accept that some many women feel no regret over their choice. Many people don’t regard a fetus as a baby, person, or even the moral equivalent of one. If you happen to be one of those people, why would you mourn the loss of your “baby”?

Sorry about my last post, I was confusing you for someone else with part of it. I thought you were saying one should not feel guilty if she has an abortion.

I guess thats all right, earlier i was saying that a non-christian wouldnt necessarily have a reason to feel guilty because they didnt know god they would probably be surrounded by the different approaches to situations in our culture.

isnt the better question what draws you towards sex and gives you the idea that is alright to not be responsible and end the life of your child? you know that people used to have intimate relations with their wife and their children was their joy!

Just because people don’t regard a fetus as a person doesn’t mean that it isn’t one. Every human life begins when sperm meets egg. That is a scientific fact.
The abortion industry uses a common tactic that the military does. They dehumanize in order to make it easier and more palatable to kill. The military dehumanizes thier enemy by calling them, names and slurs and making them seem less than human. They determined a long time ago that soldiers would be hesitant to kill if they realized they were killing another human being like themselves.
The abortion industry claims that a fetus isn’t a person. “It is just a bunch of cells” is their rallying cry. Yet if left unfettered, every healthy fetus develops into a baby. That is a fact of science that they cannot explain away.
They are very good at dehumanizing the unborn in order to keep their business going. They also are good at overcoming the doubt & fears of pregnant women in order to sell their services. They assuage their doubts and fears and tell them that it is their choice. However, eventually the “choice” to end a human life will and does catch up with them

Hmmm. How did you know what my position was? In fact it is this: those who quote the Bible in an attempt to describe their belief in an all-powerful, all-loving God, who cares for each f us from the moment of conception have some problems. Some Bible passages give this impression. Others (Ps. 137), or the account of the destruction of Jericho are diametrically opposed. Since I take believe in no god(s) I do not think of anyone’s god as ‘false’. But I do think that if your God approves of Ps. 139, then this god must not in logic be the God of 137. And yet this is what the Church teaches. I do not mind ayone believing in either of these gods. I do mind them telling me that they re the same, without convincing reconciliation. The efforts I have seen to this point do not convince me. I cannot object to you seeing that view as ‘contempt’, since that is your honest view. But I do think it is an unusual definition of ‘contempt’, which is wide enough to encompass almost any expressed disagreement.

I suspect we will be unable to argue meaningfully here; I was simply pointing out how shallow it is to read Psalm 137 as something for God to ‘approve of’, instead of just reading it sympathetically, which is the only way that one can properly evaluate anything. I’m truly amazed that there is anyone who cannot see that.

As for seeing your view as contempt: perhaps I did read too much into your motivation, but it’s not like you gave me much to work with. If you wanted to make all the points you make above, you might just have said so (and then tried to explain how this was a counterargument to one or more of the arguments in the thread). But you didn’t attempt to make any argument at all, you just threw a rock.

Amen,well said:thumbsup:👍
 
What I found the most shocking was that she actually thought getting the abortion was the most “ethical” and “humane” thing she could have done. :rolleyes::(:mad: Lady, it was the most unethical and inhumane thing you could have done!

i dont believe a woman can actually be beyond herself in feelings, she would have no reason to feel guilty regarding her decision if she wasnt aware of any negative consequences regarding her aborion.

I’d like to see a youtube video from the dead babies to see if the woman’s decision impacted them.

Sociopaths don’t see much wrong with murder either. They typically don’t feel the need to flaunt their ignorance on youtube.

Hard hearts and seared consciences are common I guess.
