  "If your belief is religious and someone can show me that God gave the same right to EVERY man, woman and baby without destroying them because he did not agree to that which they were doing or their parents and did not destroy them in fits of temper then I may agree."

  My arguments are not an appeal to religious belief. It is plausible to be against abortion and not be religious. My argument is about fairness. It is not fair for one child to die and for another to live based on the choices of their parents.

  I believe Roe vs. Wade to be an atrocity because Judge to it upon themselves to separate personhood from humanity. If the unborn are considered human but not people then when does a human become a person? Alot of arguments for abortion are also arguments for infantcide. What if we decided to define a person as having an IQ over 70? Then alot of humans would not be considered people.

  Cassi, you don't seem to get what I'm saying. Why should the wrongful act of the father cause the death of the unborn? To kill the unborn is to give a punishment greater than that given to the guilty rapist. The unborn have the right to live regardless of the circumstances under which he or she was concieved.

  "Roe V. Wade gave women the right to not die in cheap motel rooms after they were raped by a man/men who maintained the government at the time. Is that right or wrong? I am not to conclude at this juncture, I do know however to maintain a pregnancy for 9 months after a horror filled attack could lead one to end ones life and that of her unborn fetus, is that woman guilty of murder or decideing who is a person or not when aware of the pregnancy?"

  I agree that rape is a horrible crime, but its just as horrible to destroy the unborn. The unborn child was not responsible for its own existence so why should it be destroyed? I do believe that killing a fetus because of personal interests is murder. The right to live is not based on anybody's personal interests.

  I cannot in good conscience condone abortion. To condone abortion is to say that the word person doesn't apply to the unborn. If I were to condone abortion, I would be saying that the only way for an unborn to become a person is when the mother gives the right to the unborn. What frightens me is that Roe vs. Wade gives the government power to decide who is a person or who is not a person. The right to life is for everybody and not for those who happened to be concieved under the right circumstances.

  at an old book store.

  not sure if i wasted my money or if i will find anything of any significance.

  while skimming through it though i noticed how the catholic church is so demonized; how everything evil in this world is because of the catholic church.

  Amongst her instruments that she uses are ultraselfish men called "Jews", who look only for personal gain, and who therefore readily yield to and join with the Hierarchy in any unrighteous schemes

  I have to get a copy myself. I've been looking for proof that Judge Rutherford was an anti-semite.

  Actually Gita, it made him want to hang himself, but that wasn't because of the music. Ian Curtis suffered from epilepsy and his marraige was on the rocks. Its a shame Joy Division only made two albums. After Curtis' death, the rest of the members formed New Order.

  Whenever I think of death I think of sex

  by logansrun in

  be honest.

  if you were raised a jw didn't you fear that you would die during the great tribulation and never have sex for all eternity (since ressurrected people don't have sex, according to the wt)?

  whenever i think of an early demise -- nuclear war, for instance -- my thoughts almost automatically turn to, "i want to have sex.

  Frankly, I'm tired of thinking about sex and when I do it causes me alot of anxiety. I don't think about sex when I think about death though. I'm unsure as to how to think about death-- ever since I became disillustioned with the religion I grew up with I became more open to the idea of life after death. I don't know its true but I can't say that its false either.
