This is the same God who say "you shall not murder" (Ex. 20:13), and that child sacrifice never even entered into his mind (Jer. 19:5). This is also the same God, in the person of Jesus Christ, who said "suffer not the little children to come to me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" (Matt. 19:14). Your views just do not square with the Christian God's view. They square more with the views of pagan gods like Baal and Molech.<br /><br />The reality is that wantedness or unwantedness does not determine our worth as human beings. So while many unwanted children *do* grow up in foster care, the reality is that there are more couples waiting to adopt than there are children to adopt because we are killing them through abortion. So in that sense there's no such thing as a wanted child. All children are wanted by someone. The solution is to foster a culture in which more parents want to keep their children, not a culture that kills children for the crime of being unwanted by their parents.Clinton Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018335374680419858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163957708245233467.post-90018731441846300722016-09-19T13:40:22.604-07:002016-09-19T13:40:22.604-07:00The problem is that you don't have a very good...The problem is that you don't have a very good understanding of rights. No one has the right to anything at the expense of another human being's rights. If a woman has sex and conceives a child, she tacitly waives her right to bodily autonomy because she willingly engages in an act that creates a naturally needy child and places that child in a state of dependency upon her.<br /><br />Some pregnancies do become life-threatening, and then a woman may have the moral right to have an abortion. But she does not have the moral right to have an abortion in the off chance it may become life-threatening, just like a parent doesn't have the right to kill their toddler because letting the toddler grow up to be an adult may become life-threatening (children do occasionally grow up to kill their parents).<br /><br />In fact, all the way back in 1967, six years before Roe v. Wade, Dr. Alan Guttmacher wrote the following:<br /><br />“Today it is possible for almost any patient to be brought through pregnancy alive, unless she suffers from a fatal illness such as cancer or leukemia, and, if so, abortion would be unlikely to prolong, much less save, life.”<br />--Alan F. Guttmacher, “Abortion–Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow,” The Case for Legalized Abortion Now (Berkeley, Calif.: Diablo Press, 1967).Clinton Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018335374680419858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163957708245233467.post-66880917036259411982016-08-29T21:10:38.937-07:002016-08-29T21:10:38.937-07:00i'am a Christian woman and have prayed and tho...i'am a Christian woman and have prayed and thought out my position for a long time, and I just cannot give an embroyo the same rights as the woman, it is absurd, embroyo is not viable outside the body and is completely dependent on the mother. Also I hardly ever hear you speak about what happens to children that are born that are unwanted, and what kind of life they will have in the foster care system or who knows where. Their is very little support for unwanted children and or single mothers out there.beretta1071https://www.blogger.com/profile/07773738180431189341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163957708245233467.post-26861114061088815072016-08-29T21:07:51.125-07:002016-08-29T21:07:51.125-07:00YOU SAID:

The reason for this is that there is an innocent human life at stake, one that is helpless and deserves our protection.<br /><br />BY forcing a woman to stay pregnant you possibly endanger her life, pregnancy can be life threatening, and can cause permanent damage or conditions even after birth, no woman should be forced to stay pregnant. Her life comes first, she is already born and is autonomous the unborn is not. I just don't understand why pro-life position does not understand that you cannot have both mother and unborn have the same exact rights, it is absurd and illogical to assign both the same rights. beretta1071https://www.blogger.com/profile/07773738180431189341noreply@blogger.com
