Overcoming the language of the abortion supporters

[Prodigal_Son]

I agree. My apologies. Abortion is just so cold and heartless and it makes my blood boil when I see people trying to defend it, especially when claiming they are doing good by doing so.

Well, that’s not the response I was expecting! That’s one of the things I love about these forums – it’s one of the only places I’ve found on the internet where people show actual humility. Thanks for being a good example of this for me, Josh, since I certainly need to grow in humility myself.



And I completely understand your visceral response to abortion. It’s the proper response, but sometimes there are reasons to temper it.

I think you are incorrect.

I don’t know one pro-choice person who truly wants a woman to get an abortion, and I know thousands of “pro-choice” people.

It really is as the word says–about making one’s own choice in one’s life.

In the same way that God gives people free will and wants people to make their own decisions in everything they do, even if they are choices He’d rather they don’t make.
But he allows it because it is free will.
He gave everyone free will; He is pro-choice.

.

Yes God is a gentleman, but our choices also have drastic consequences, such as the loss of salvation. The only difference in your logic is the “pro-choice” movement supports the legalization of abortion…should we also legalize rape, murder, and road rage because people should have a choice? I think not…God bless.

I am sorry but I am “pro-choice” “for legal abortion” whatever language you want to call it I am for it. If the fetus is too small to live outside of the body well you get my point. There are so many pro-lifers who wish to take away a woman’s right to choose which no matter how you slice it, this is a decision made by the woman who is pregnant. The problem with this is their advice seems to stop there, what do you do with all of these unwanted children? how many of you pro-lifers on this forum have adopted children? You don’t want a woman to make a decision that is right for her or her family but you also don’t want the responsibility that she has decided is more than she can handle. I know I know God will make away, yet how many of you has God moved to intervene? I consider myself a devout Catholic but this is one issue that I do not support the church in.

Unfortunately, Satay…then by definition you are a Protestant. I say that with all due charity. I do not think you have the authority to decide what a pro-life person has to do in order to be pro-life (such as adopting a child). Just because one does or is unable to adopt a childe does not justify aborting them…what about the unwanted homeless people in the world? Should we get rid of them too? Or the elderly? As a Catholic you need to trust and humbly submit to the authority of Christ through his Church. If you can’t do that then I pray the Holy Spirit will come to you with His truth, but if you disagree with the Church than that is the definition of Protestant. God bless.

None of those wonderfully impassioned quotes answers mt basic questions, who is responsible for these unwanted children? While you condemn the mother as a horrible person why would you force a as you put it precious child to be raised by at best indifferent mother?

How is it forcing an indifferent mother to take care of a child? Did we force that woman to have sex? What comes from sex? Babies! That is how God made it according to Natural Law. There a plenty of people out there that would raise that child to the best of their abilities. Furthermore, I ask you, what is the definition of an indifferent mother? You seem to use that adjective regularly so I ask how do you define indifferent? Additionally, I think you are under the assumption that all women who have unwanted pregnancies will be “indifferent”, which has been proven wrong by the countless women throughout history that have given their lives for their children and more importantly, God’s children. Can you honestly believe that God supports the abortion of His children? Honestly? You are in my prayers.
