One thing I find extremely strange by any christain is the false idea that thier body is thier own and they can do what they want with it.

My body, and soul is Christ’s and he uses it everyday so I can do his will.

A lot of Sundays I don’t want to go to mass driving 35 minutes to the nearest catholic church but I serve Christ and his church in excitement so my body really isnt my
Own it Christ’s just like my money isn’t my own it’s a gift that God gave and trusted with me to serve him better. (my baptist wife agrees with me)

Also with the perverted logic of a pro abortion so called Christian Mary would have been a prime candidate for abortion based on thier logic.
Really!!!
 
For me, the answer is simple. There are no Bible verses on point that call for banning abortion.

Although there’s the verse that God knew us when we were in the womb, that does not say that we have to ban abortion.

Such a leap in thinking is akin to the leap in thinking that Protestants use to justify Sola Scriptura in 2 Tim. 3:16.

Also, as a Christian I feel compelled to show compassion for my neighbor, that includes women. Because of my compassion, I don’t want women to suffer the brunt of the consequences of an accidental pregnancy. The connection between pregnancy out of wedlock, and poverty, is clear.

It is also a fact that natural resources are being taxed, and it is also proven in Freakonomics that abortion reduces crime. Should we, as Christians, just sit there and let these problems go unfixed? Contrary to popular belief, economics is important to God…the Bible mentions money in several hundred verses, much more than hell.

Women feel victimized by the possibility of accidental pregnancies, because they know they have to bear the brunt of the consequences. This is why polls show that most unmarried women are pro-choice. To deny women the civil right to choose what to do with their own bodies, would victimize them even more.

Yes, the fetus is being killed, and that is tragic. However, accidental pregnancies are most likely the result of sin anyway. What is more tragic is to see women suffering.

Because the Bible says nothing on point, and because I have compassion for women, I am pro-choice.
 
Has anyone seen real pictures of aborted fetus’? It is very disturbing and horrific. The abortion procedure is just as shocking. I can’t see how abortionists can do such a thing for a living.

Yes, I’ve seen the pro-life protesters display big pictures of that on college campuses. But these pictures are grotesque, irrelevant, and distract from the main issue, which is the right to choose what to do with one’s own body.

One of the problems with the pro-“choice” mentality is the dismissal of logic that it requires.

Here’s the thing: It’s not THEIR body that’s getting dismembered and destroyed, it’s the child’s. They are making the choice of death for another individual. The choice of what to do with their OWN body was - except in cases of rape, obviously - made when they chose to have sexual intercourse.

At conception, the child’s cell(s) are alive. They have their own unique and distinctly human genetic code. They can’t speak, reason, or survive on their own? Neither can an infant. Should a mother be allowed to kill her infant child?

Abortion advocates say that the child isn’t a “person”. How do you define “person”?

A video of a doctor demonstrating what a partial birth abortion involves makes me physically sick, never mind *actual *abortion videos! How anyone can see this stuff and not think it’s wrong baffles me.
 
How can anyone, Christian or not, be pro choice? The greatest error by Christians is trying to turn abortion into a religious issue. It’s the killing of an innocent human life. No religion is necessary to understand that fact.

Ah, I see… you were being a “concern troll” - disgusting people into being pro-life. Shrewd.

Why are they grotesque? They are grotesque because they were killed violently. However, they are NOT irrelevant. It is a picture of of a life that didn’t get the right to choose what happens to THEIR body.

Those who are of either denominations do not have to follow Catholic Church teaching. This can be for only one of two reasons.
  1. They have accepted the lie that the unique human being in the womb is just a blob of tissue or not worthy of being treated as a human being. If it isn’t a human being, what is it?
  2. They have not examined the issue for themselves and rely on others to tell them what is true or not, but are content to not examine “pro-choice” claims themselves. In other words, ‘if enough people tell me it’s true then it must be true.’
Yes, I’ve heard from one pro-choice Christian who was proud of the fact that she can get an abortion if she wants to.

Peace,
Ed

Indeed, it is grotesque when you just show what it is, without special effects or photoshop or lies.

What it is, is in fact grotesque.

If it was just their own body it wouldn’t be as heinous, **it’s the body of another living creature **inside them, their bodies are not their own but Temples of the Holy Spirit from a Catholic Christian perspective…" be fruitful & multiply " not be fruitful, satisfying the lust of flesh & then refuse to let life that they began continue…
First Epistle Of Saint Paul To The Corinthians 3:16* Know you not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? [17] But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.
 
Last year at 40 days of life I handed out Holy cards of baby Jesus its more effective than the graffic pictures

Not every discussion of “choice” involves a “woman’s right to her own body” and concluding “therefore you are sexist if you are pro-life and against abortion.” The women’s movement did not just happen in the 70’s; our early suffragettes were mostly against abortion. In our present “pro-abortion/pro-choice” world, more females are being aborted and I, a feminist, find that to be the worst kind of sexism.

While we’re on the topic, our pastor in his sermon last week pointed out the 90% of would-be mothers of known-Down syndrome babies abort them. This, along with your example, presents a real challenge to pro-life forces.

Nothing needs to be photoshopped. It is a violent murder. No special effects are needed when you burn a baby black through a saline abortion or a dismemberment abortion. It kind of speaks for itself.

Oh ! and what about our bodies being the Temple of the Holy Spirit and if we defile our bodies God will destroy us ?
And what about the words of Jesus, " let the little children come to me, if anyone harms them, let them tie a milestone around their necks and cast it into the depths of the sea " ?

This logic implies, that if we have a child who was born with no defects and then develops them should be put-down like a sick dog ? oh yeah, the birth lottery, what next ? or the child in a road accident who is now (God forbid) wheelchair bound should have it’s life terminated ? sick logic, it seems to me …
