I love blog posts with a lot of comments. Do you by chance have a bumper sticker with the word, "Co-exist" (Just teasing you). The problem with compromise on the issue of life is that God said, "Don't compromise. Choose Life." There is only death or life. If someone wants to kill you and I don't want it to happen, I can't go up to him and say, "Just injure him." There is only one choice death or life. The same is true for the fully human unborn baby. Just because he is hidden in his mother's womb doesn't give us the right to kill him. You should read Abby Johnson's book, "Unplanned." She was the head of one of Planned Parenthood's largest abortion facility's in Texas. She had never seen an abortion. They were short handed and they called her in. They had to do the abortion with an ultrasound for the woman's health. She watched the unborn child squirm and try to get away from the instrument that would tear it to pieces. She quit her job within a week, and joined 40 Days for Life. You only think you want early term abortion because you've never seen the little child struggle for its life or experience the pain (they don't numb it) when it is torn apart. God bless you.

If they say something like "what is the difference between a one week old embryo and a six month old child?" They are saying that they have no interest in compromising. What I have to say to people like that is "tell it to the judge". If they don't want to be reasonable, then the only alternative is to fight them and don't give in to anything they want if that's the way they are going to be.

Bill, Please do choose life. But if...AMEN TO THAT. Bill, Please do choose life. But if you are for early term abortion. A child at that stage is still a human being. Read this post again. Those miscarriages happened the same time as an early term abortion. Six and eight weeks from conception. Now if you favor the murder of a human being at six weeks from conception, then why would you not favor the murder of a child at 8 months from conception? Or a child at 6 months after birth. They are still helpless and you can still kill them. Infanticide is the logical outcome of abortion. In Belgium, they are planning to legalize child euthanasia. That could never be done with the child's full consent, as they can't give consent when they are little children, they don't know what they are choosing. My son chose to be home-schooled beginning in the fourth grade, but he constantly reminds us he didn't know what he was choosing. Therefore, child euthanasia will always be chosen by the parents. And isn't that convenient? If the childs's illness is inconvenient, you can end that inconvenience and kill your child while rationalizing in your mind that you are doing them an act of mercy. Denying anyone their life is not an act of mercy. God bless you.

I don't agree with the feminist that she has the right to kill a child or an elderly person. I agree of course that the culture of death is very wrong. At the outer edges of it, I'm not that sure. I am for early term abortions more than late term. And I am for death with dignity as it currently legal in Oregon, Washington and Montana. <br /><br />There is something in the Bible about Moses telling his people that he is showing them two paths, one leading to life and the other leading to death. And he told them to choose life. I think about that every day. Some behaviors repeat what I did leading to my suicide attempt while others lead to success. I must constantly remind myself to choose the latter.

The last post seems to come from your head, and the first post came from your heart. I understand there is a disconnect. I hope you are well. <br />If we give one human being (the mother) more rights than another human being (the child), we will turn into a totalitarian dictatorship. It turns the concept of freedom on its head:<br />"The tragic denial of human rights in practice lies in a notion of freedom which exalts the isolated individual in an absolute way and gives no place to solidarity, to openness to others and service of them. While it is true that the taking of life not yet born or in its final stages is sometimes marked by a mistaken sense of altruism and human compassion, it cannot be denied that such a culture of death, taken as a whole, betrays a completely individualistic concept of freedom, which ends up by becoming the freedom of the strong against the weak who have no choice but to submit." Pope John Paul II, Gospel of Life. So at the UN I met a French feminist who told me she had an absolute right to kill her child and her mother. God bless you.

The reason I feel that way is because it is entirely within a woman's right to control what goes on in her body. If she doesn't believe what pro lifers believe about an embryo or fetus, there is no way that the beliefs of others should factor into her decision. People become who they are through a period of development and not upon conception. Yes. Their DNA exists. But there is more to us than our DNA and DNA does not have any legal rights in itself. It is like a software program that can be deleted without having been run. You did not become the person that you are until you experienced a certain period of living and learning.

As it so happened, I had decided not to call her anymore before she told me in a number of letters that she was pregnant. I didn't know what to do so I just ignored the whole situation. After going away on spring break, I came home one day to find her sitting in my family's living room talking to my stepmother. We spoke privately and she told me that she had gone to New York with her mother to have an abortion. This was before Roe v Wade so it wasn't yet legal in Massachusetts. Not being much of a Christian at that time, I was relieved and told her she had done the right thing. I look back with regret on what happened. I hurt her by abandoning her. I don't know what I would have done differently, such as marry her. I was and I wasn't responsible for what happened. I always wished that I could tell her how sorry I am for what happened.
