| A problem many people have with interpreting the bible is that they take the words without thinking of the history, the traditions and the culture of that time which are very different to how we live nowadays. Just because the bible says of something that was acceptable at the time doesn't mean it is acceptable nowadays. And you have to interpret the bible under that light.
And that continues to be thruth of the word of God will stand forever. Interpret it the right way. |

As for myself. I think abortion is wrong. I don't care what the circumstances. I would never do it. I consider it homicide. Just in case you were wondering I also do not believe in the death penalty. Many of the books that you quoted were in the old testament. We are not necessarily supposed to live by those rules anymore. We don't have to offer up burnt animal sacrafices anymore either. You see when Jesus came a lot of that changed. Submitting to our husbands, hard pill to swallow, but yes that one still stands. Yes he is the head of my household and ultimately he will answer to Jesus for it. But what you left out was that he must love me as he loves Jesus. I think I'm getting the better end of that deal. A good man will not take advantage of the submission clause. I think the one responder said it all when they said just follow the commandments. They are rules to live by. |

That is exactly the statement I have a problem with..... You are telling me not to have sex if I can't handle the outcome, well as an Athesit I see sex as be recreational, so why mus I live up to your beliefs? If I want sex to be pro-creational, than that is my choice, like someone else said reproduction is an option not a function. So you don't have to tolerate abortion at all or like it, I couldn't care if you don't like it but you have no right in my personal life or anyones for that matter, therefore why do you continue to implement that. Why should everyone have the same view on sex as you? Why not get along, keep you beliefs to yourself and I will keep mine to myself and will never shove my belief of flying unicorns down your throat. |

You don't have to live to our beliefs. And abortion is legal so stop whining about it. Do you need approval from us is that it? What do you care what we could think of you? We the christians will have our opinion and you don't need to care about it. Nobody is shoving at all any belief in here to you. |

If you tell me you think abortion is wrong, then you are entitled to that but anything beyond that NA is bigotry and I have seen more people shove their opinions down others throats. Abortion is legal in Canada but I guess you could say I like to fight for people in others ountries that result to harmful back alley abortions or taking pills, in which I think it should be legal but religion does nto allow for such. Religion should never be allowed to be forced on one lifes, if they are none religious why should they live up to your expectations? Prop 8 would be a perfect example of what I am talking about, I was devasted about it, gay parents who needed marriage to adopt, had their children removed because "Christians" feel Gays should not marry. How does gay marriage and abortion correlate, Ill explain that by making abortion illegal or being a force behind trying you are pushing your views on someone elses free will, you have the freedom to practice religion and them the freedom of their beliefs. Not as much in Canada more so in the states (bible belt) alot of these religious people feel you need to live the same way and have even resulted to harmful acts. Religion should never be allowed in senate, much less any politcal organization and it is done more so than not, Canadas really not bad but I am empathetic to others or at least try to be. |

| The main differences between a fetus and a baby is size, level of development, environment, and degree of dependency. For size, are bigger people more human than smaller people? In the case of development, is a person who is 25 yrs. old more of a human than a two year old? As for environment, are babies in incubators more human than healthy babies? Can we kill them? And finally dependency. If we judged life on this, then diabetics could be killed because they depend on insulin. No the fetus is a child, and yes i am a christian, a yes I can argue my point without the bible. |
