All it shows is graphic images, there are no statments/interviews from people who have had abortions, considered abortions, medical professionals, councillers or anyone else that could shed more truth on the issue.
I just shows one graphic part at the exclusion of the rest.
The results speak for themselves. What possible justification could there be to mitigate the slaughter of an innocent child? What “more truth” are you seeking – a child is being murdered!
So is amputation. But in some cases it is necessary.
Are you actually comparing the murder of a child to the amputation of a limb? Do you really think that’s a valid comparison?
Sometimes it’s necessary to suffer for the sake of others, too. I think this is a more appropriate consideration, given that the vast majority of abortions are done for personal freedom, and even those that are done for so-called “medical reasons” are still being done without regard for the child’s right to live.
If you want to put it that way. But those images looked pretty intact to me.
Abortions are sometimes necessary for a lot of reasons, that certainly doesnt mean that every one is justified or necessary.
Please state a few examples of abortion being “necessary” that do not completely discount the fact that the child is a human being with a right to live.
So its perfectly fine to kill one person but not another.
What was it that was said about babies that die?
That’s not the issue I raised, and you know it. I pointed out (and linked to an example of it: St. Gianna) that a woman who’d lay down her life for her child to have a chance at living is committing the greatest act of love we know. I never said anything about “killing” someone else.
What I’m saying is that, if a mother’s (or father’s) heart is in the right place, the only concern they will have is the well-being of their child.
The doctor being wrong isnt a fact, its a possibility. What I am considering is what would be more merciful.
It’s not merciful to kill another human being – don’t you see that? Suffering is an opportunity for grace to enter our lives if we unite it with Christ’s suffering – by embracing it for the good of someone else. If we determine that we must avoid suffering at the expense of someone else, we are doing the opposite of what Christ did.
Furthermore, I didn’t say the doctor in your hypothetical was wrong – I introduced the possibility of his incorrect prognosis as a factor which should swing the decision
away from choosing to kill the unborn child. Because we can’t be certain, we should err on the side of keeping the child alive.
Who are you to say the oppisite?
I am a human being who believes it is wrong to kill an innocent human child in order that I
might survive.
What a redicilous comment to make. I have actually been in the situation where I did have to consider that choice, it is not an easy one to consider.
With all due respect, this argument (that it’s difficult, and I’ve already been through it, and who are you to judge) is remarkably similar to the line of thinking of those who can’t accept that their gay brother is sinning.
I’m very sorry to hear that you were in that situation, but I’m even more sorry if a child died as a result of your or your loved one’s choice.
I never said or implied that the choice is easy from an emotional standpoint, but things are either right or wrong, regardless of how difficult the decision is.
