I have posted a wiki link and it clearly said that what Augustin and other 2 popes stated. Do you think that I suddenly found it and posted? no my friend, Wikipedia is my favorite website.
And that says A LOT about you…
Wikipedia is not a legitimate Catholic website, nor is it even that accurate of an information site. Also, Augustine was a great saint, but not everything he said was infallible and Popes were often dealing with canonical issues and not moral issues when handing down decrees. It’s helpful to have knowledge of the workings of the Catholic church before making assumptions.
Please, read. Learn. Thank you.

No they are not embryos taken from the womb, but they are still embryos. They are still fertilized eggs, they are still human life. The embryo continues to grow and produce new cells even before implantation in the womb. In fact the embryo will grow and develop even in a petrie dish until it can’t be sustained and dies, yes, it dies!

Embryo, Zygote, these are just terms for the various stages of human life no different from toddler, teenager, or golden ager. All are stages of human life and all human life is sacred to God.
 
All you have shown is ignorance of Catholic morality.
I do not need the light of Catholic morality thanks.🤷
Where is your scientific evidence of “any religion is totally opposite to science”?
Where is you evidence that religion is scientific? Anyway when the 1st man came to this earth? If you read Bible and calculate the time from Adam then its around 6000 years. So what type of science you can expect in this book?

Human
history of Human is different.
 
Thanks, But you are wrong, you did not prove anything yet. anyway best of luck.actually there is no difference between the Islamic version of science and Christian version of science. Actually peoples always do something like that when failed to provide strong scientific evidence.Muslims also showed many so called scientific sites and then later became violent and used nasty words hahaha. Just the difference is you used a polite language while said goodbye ;). That’s good I appreciate it.👍
 
I do not think that I will get any support here since it is a pro life catholic forum and all peoples are pro life, and I am alone against it? Is there no atheist or pro choice in this forum?

Why would you go against the truth?

The truth sets you free.

Error ensnares you in a trap.

It is illogical to come on a Catholic forum and expect to find support for non-Catholic ideas.

It is my opinion that when an atheist comes on this forum it is because deep down they desperately want to find God. God is calling them and they are trying hard to ignore Him by finding ways to discredit the faith in Him that others have. In that way, they feel justified in their atheism.

I can only pray that you open your heart and hear His voice.

You do understand this is a Catholic forum, right? There are athiests around, but this is a CATHOLIC forum. It’s like me going onto an athiest forum and spouting my beliefs and ignoring the fact that they are athiests. 🤷
 
rain_bow;8432899:
So she grew your body but you weren’t there, why did the body kick, suck its thumb, hiccup, roll over? what was making the heart beat? How can a body be alive without a soul to animate it? Your mother wasn’t making the body move, she wasn’t controlling the heart beat.
so how did you get into the body of the fetus? When did it become you? the moment you moved into the birth canal? stuck your head out? what about those born by Cesarean?Science says you were you at conception.

That’s not abortion, that is accidental death due to side effects of life saving drugs.

So if your body was born dead, your parents would have chucked it out as trash? or would they have buried the baby’s dead body with full funeral rites? Are you saying women who suffer a stillbirth don’t give birth to a dead baby but give birth to a fetus that isn’t anyone?

A human being that can’t move or survive outside of the womb. See, it’s still a human being.

how lucky and blessed you are. But there are plenty of great folks walking around who are the product of rape. How they got here doesn’t negate their humanity.

Yes, they are living cells, like your heart and skin cells. But they become something different and unique when joined. In fact, the egg and sperm are the only two human cells that will join up to create something new. You can’t put a heart cell in with a brain cell and get a new person no matter how long you wait.

only if you consider bleeding from a cut as killing or murdering blood cells.

Right dead cells can’t divide and reproduce.

Yes, and many have. You need to study up on female reproduction. And fertile women do not release dead eggs. If the eggs are dead she is infertile. There are times in a woman’s cycle when it is less likely she will conceive but there are no guaranteed times.

but the sperm is not the zygote. It is only an individual human life when the embryo is created. That’s when you get the unique DNA for a whole new human being.

Fetus is Latin for BABY. The Romans considered the baby in the womb human life. But the Romans didn’t believe human life was sacred. That’s why they killed unwanted babies even after they were born. They didn’t consider it murder either.

Not now, but you were a fetus once in your early, early life. Just as you are no longer a toddler. I’ve got pictures of my babies when they were in the womb. They weren’t parasites and they weren’t tumors. My children were human beings from the day of conception.

I think I need to stop this argument, neither I will be forced to violate the forum rules and will be banned,and i do not want that,because I am here for faith question and friendship, not to fight. So I will only answer the red texts. well it kicks after fetal stage. But before fetal stage how can you claim that a zygote has life? now do not jump that I am accepting tour logic that I consider a fetus a human being.

***Why Catholics are to eager to the so called protect the right of life because of their flawed belief that a fetus is human being? Do you forget the history of inquisition? I hope not. What about Burning the knights Templers?What about killing innocent Jews when you lost Crusade with Muslims? remember or forgot all?

What about the Fourth Crusade*** ?your history is not better than Muslims, so all were great works? killing peoples? and now too eager to save life by proclaiming zygote as life and forcing women to carry it,even if it is a product of rape?

really you are the perfect humanist!Pope Innocent III declared 4rth crusade against orthodox Christians, do you read the history?Yes I rely on wikipedia not on any official Christian or Muslim site.anyway I think I must not Go further, because if I will go further then I will have to talk too much that will be the cause of banning from this forum that I do not want. I just want to say, I will never have any good relation with ultra religious peoples, who always take sacred scriptures as the standard, and want to prove their scripture as the standard of modern science.

.**

Anyway you can reply only one of my post regarding the creation of 1st man if you wish, Bible said that 1st man came 6000 years before, while history said it came almost 200000 years before.or can start new thread about it, if you wish**.But as far I guess none of you believe in modern science.

well I am not a scientists too because my subject is business administration, but I am a follower of modern science, and its not necessary to be a student of science if you want to know about science.And I only belong to modern science and science is my religion and scientists are my God or Gods whatever you call.
thanks ,and Good bye.

Best of luck.

You do if you want your objections be taken seriously.

Religion is not scientific. Nor is it anti-scientific. Why does it matter? The scientific method is not the sole source of knowledge. If fact, it cannot produce certain knowledge, only useful theories.

Why do you think the Bible should be read as a science text?
 
You do if you want your objections be taken seriously.
really? so where non Catholics are not welcome? So the greeter said wrong when I posted in the meet & greet # 76? thanks for your information.👍

perfect. Finally you agreed.
Why do you think the Bible should be read as a science text?
I do not think so. But what is the truth? God or science?
I believe that science is the truth and God does not exist.
because I do not believe in 6th sense! and billions of peoples do not believe God. 🤷
BTW,prove that God exists by starting another thread if you wish,I am not going to participate here again.

Anyway this is going to be my last post in this thread. Since non Catholics peoples’ objections can not be taken seriously if they do not need the light of Catholic morality,
so since now I should participate only in the “non Catholic religion” sector in this forum. thanks

I have asked this question to “ask an apologist” forum. But They did not reply me. So I have decided to discuss here.As far I know Roman Catholic Church is pro life and it considers that life begins with fertilization.

Anyway What is the scientific proof of it? What Eastern orthodox Churches teaches about it? Are rape victims allowed to abortion before fetal stage, or not? If not then what would happen if a married women is rape victim,or a child?

Why they must carry the lifeless fertile ovum( scientific), and then make it a real baby? And for married women, why husbands will accept it? And after all before fetal stage , even it does not kick, so how is it possible that life begins with fertilization?
It is NOT lifeless. It is growing.
That makes it a growing organism.
It will only become a baby; it is a NEW life.
 
really? so where non Catholics are not welcome? So the greeter said wrong when I posted in the meet & greet # 76? thanks for your information.👍
How did you get this from my post?
perfect. Finally you agreed.

I do not think so. But what is the truth? God or science?🤷
God is Truth.

Science may reveal truth about the material world. Or, it may only provide clues about the truth of the material world. Or, some people will use the results of science to spread untruth.

Jesus is the Truth incarnate.
 
A human being is a being that belongs to the human species, and is genetically complete. This happens almost immediately at conception. **It’s got nothing to do whether it can survive outside the womb or not. A newborn still cannot survive without its mother regardless of whether it is outside the womb or not. But it is still a human being. And just before it is born, it is alive, it can feel, it can hear, it can move. **

But that’s moot. Being able to hear, feel and move is not what makes it a living human being. Having the entire genetic composition that it will carry until the day it dies, makes a zygote a complete and full member of the human species, a genetically complete individual, with genetics that will determine whether how tall it will become, what colour its hair and eyes will be, what natural talents it will have etc. All of that is set in stone at the moment of conception, or just a few moments after conception.

And that’s just basic science. What you are saying isn’t science. It is an arbitrary choice built entirely upon emotion, not upon reason, a faculty which BTW God gave us and expects us to use so that we don’t let our emotions get the better of us.

I suggest you also read a bit about the theology of the Fall of Mankind. That may answer your questions regarding why God “allows” things to happen. God gave Man free will. Since the Fall, all men and women have misused it to some extent or other.
Simply brilliant
and so very TRUE.
I salute you.
 
Please provide reliable source. I can’t write long reply now because i’m traveling and using mobile and with mobile i can not write long reply.so we will talk about it again later.but 1st you need to post any reliable link.thanks 🙂
Clinically Oriented Embryology, 6th Ed, Moore, Persaud, Saunders states on page 2 that: “A zygote is the beginning of a new human being.” On page 18, it states: “Human development begins at fertilization.” Is that reliable enough for you, rainbow? We know that a fetus exists in time and space (being). We also know that it is human (genetically). We also know that it is alive. In other words, the fetus is a living human being. Peter Singer would not even dispute this basic scientific fact. There is no doubt among educated pro-aborts that the fetus is a living human being. They deny that it should be granted legal protection as a person. But the burden of proof rests with the pro-aborts. It is they who must PROVE that the unborn entity is NOT a human person before they can be justified in killing it. There are only four logical possibilities: 1. The fetus is a person, and we know that. 2. The fetus is a person, but we don’t know that. 3. The fetus is not a person, but we don’t know that. 4. The fetus is not a person, and we know that. What is abortion in each of these cases: 1. Murder. 2. Manslaughter. 3. Criminal Negligence. 4. Morally and Legally Permissible. The Supreme Court (in Roe v. Wade) never proved 4. Human personhood is an unalienable right that originates in nature, not convention. The unborn entity is a living human being from the moment of conception and therefore its life MUST be protected with the full force of law. Functionalism is a fallacy.
 
The act of rape is indeed heinous and traumatic but aborting the result of that act will not make what happened go away. You’d only be adding more sorrow to a miserable situation. There are so many people out there who cannot have children and who are desperate to adopt! I can’t understand the argument that killing your baby is the logical solution for dealing with the reminders of being raped.

Also, a quote I have always loved:

I find it interesting that Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born. ~ Ronald Reagan
 
Scientific proof exists. And electrosound proves it immediatly…life is life. Watch the EWTN show on abortion which is basically a show by Dr Martin Luther Kings family here, promoted by the CC. There’s going to be a very big problem with this, this coming election. Of course life begins by fert. how else would you imagine it happens?

Who’s deciding human rights? Planned parenthood founder stated she wanted to kill the weeds. Hitler stated he wanted to kill life not worthy of life. Sounds the same to me, how about you? What man has this right? I say None.

If you place yourself in a difficult situation, you placed yourself in it. Killing isn’t the solution out of bad choice. The Church is where your advised to go. not the non-planning or parenthood facility. Its a Death Camp. The Church will correctly intercede help you and you do not have to ever see that baby again in your life. Your choice of death however, is an incorrect one. And by the laws of this society from Salvery laws to Roe vs Wade we don’t have it right at the moment. We will within the next year and half, the Storm, its coming, its in the air today, I can feel it.

Speaking when its down to life and death of the mother or baby. They save the mother. Its how its goes down, is its right, I don’t know, I don’t place myself in that choice.
Well, said my friend. I agree 100%. There are other ways out of a “bad” situation than MURDER! What I don’t get is how it is legal to kill your baby before it’s born (in some states even late term!) but not after. So I can kill my child in utero at week 28 & that’s fine, but if it’s born & I kill it then it’s murder. Where is the logic in that? This issue is one that is close to my heart. I abhor abortion. How can such a thing be legal? I abhor the “pro-choice” argument.

I completely agree with you! I also love the wording “pro-choice” - doesn’t sound quite as bad as saying “pro-killing babies” does it? i have always found the term pro-chioce ridiculous…so I could kill my baby one day before he/she is born, but 1 day later when they are born, it becomes murder?!? It is still a living child inside of you…one whose heart beats and whose organs function and who kicks and rolls and moves.
