A perspective on abortion

@dj2becker said
Do you believe aborting the child would be morally justified at any point in the pregnancy?

Yes. The issue is a complicated one, not black and white.

Again, Is it morally justifiable to force a girl, who has been raped, to give birth to the child of her rapist?

Yes or no?

So you believe killing the fetus seconds before birth is morally justified? I find it impossible to agree.

I think the life of a child outweighs the discomfort that the mother has to go through.

Rape. Pregnant. Decision. It is not justifiable to abort. Right?

If you cannot justify any actions against a 3 year old you can not do it to an unborn!

@ghost-of-a-duke said
If it is not okay to end a life before it is born, how can it be okay to end the life of a fully grown man on a battlefield?

(Bearing in mind your statement: 'Since God is the One giving someone life who are we to take it?' )

Can you find God banishing war, or law enforcement from ending life?

No, I don't.

Please google legal abortion and come back to us.

And to be clear I am not a flag waver for abortion, but do recognize the issue is a complicated one.

Kelly, you asked who are we (as humans) to end the life God has given.

You can't have your cake and eat it.

I asked if you believed aborting the child would be morally justified at any point in the pregnancy. You said yes. Do you wish to recant?

Of course the abortion would need to be in compliance with the law and the timeframe specified by that law.

Who in their right mind is talking about 'killing the fetus seconds before birth?!'

Man's law?
Obviously not God's law.

Atheists cannot debate the abortion issue with theists because of the absence of God in the debate.

The Bible being what it is, the reality is that the Bible is open to interpretation as to when life begins. That many use terms such as "God's law" to describe their own interpretation is hubris. It speaks to their own sense of self-importance.

And theists like yourself, who only see in black and white, cannot debate the abortion issue due to its complexity.

So if ‘the law’ were to allow a pregnancy to be terminated seconds before birth you would be cool with it? Or is there something that should take precedence over a man made law in this case?

The law 'wouldn't' allow such a thing, due to being constructed by rational and educated human beings. (As opposed to some of the barbaric laws in the OT).

Good thing that we have a document stating that government should not be about what God you worship, as much as the right, who claim to be all about that same document, refuses to acknowledge that.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, after the commandment was issued not to kill, or murder.......much killing and murdering took place in the bible.
