Scully,
I missed one of your earlier posts, so I may not have replied to every point you made.
do you think it is possible that they might one day be grateful that someone intervened and gave them a chance to live and choose for themselves whether the belief system is what they want to follow or not? What if it was you as an infant and your parents were going to let you die? Would you want someone to take YOUR side, when your parents were choosing to abide by the tenets of their religious beliefs?
First of all, you are assuming that even with blood, they are going to live. Thats not necessarily true. What I as the child in that situation would want, years later after the fact, doesn't really make a whole lot of difference. We are talking about children too young to make any kind of decision like this. In that case, the parents are the ones are responsible. If they make the wrong decision, well then, they are going to live with that.
I wouldn't want a child of mine to die or be injured because I was too stupid or brainwashed to realize the danger I was putting them in.
No one would. But I think you're walking a very thin line when you start calling other people's choices stupid. Who are you to tell them that?
I think its stupid that a woman would choose to end a perfectly viable pregnancy just because she doesn't want to be a parent. Maybe the government should step in and stop her from getting an abortion. After all, it would save a life, right? You keep insisting that's more important than any other consideration.
No Apologies
