Some Abortion Foes Shifting Focus From Ban to Reduction

IMO someone who supported/promoted/voted for Obama full well knowing his record on abortion really has a lot of nerve to start a thread about reducing the number of abortions.

You already gave up the moral high ground on that issue.

 

There has always been a huge focus on alternatives to abortion. To say there hasn't is just pure ignorance. Abortion needs to be outlawed. And the push for that will never end.

 

What? You want an article on the net to prove it? What in the world do you think Christian Women's centers are for? Libs like you say you do not support the legalization of abortion but your actions say otherwise. You spout the same godless rhetoric that those who want it legal do. You all want it legal and push for health care to reduce it. I believe you are a closet abortion supporter myself.

I have seen no evidence that your opinion on this is credible. But you are welcome to it to be sure.

 

This rationalization intrigues me. Even if I grant your premise that absolutely nothing policy-wise can be done about abortion (but see this thread for the thorough debunking of such notion: http://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=54436), doesn't the fact that a candidate supports people to choose abortion say something about that candidate's character? What if we lived in a society where 95% of the people thought it perfectly fine to dispose of Down's Syndrome babies, so that there was no hope of the laws ever changing. So you would deem it ok to support a candidate who supported such things? You can plug in any moral issue - rape, slavery - you name it. Wouldn't that speak about their lack of character in supporting the "choice" to perpetuate such atrocities? So why do you not think the same way about a candidate's view on abortion? It makes me wonder if your claims of being anti-abortion are really genuine. So please help me see through this inconsistency.

 

uh huh

:sleeping_2:

Then you should go back an actually read the thread instead of acting like a child and following me around with this silliness.

 

Our baptist association spends thousands annually on crisis pregnancy center, counseling, job training for single moms, etc.

I think many churches/associations put quite a bit into alternatives (as we do). It's just not publicized, and most of us don't see this as an "either-or" option.

 

But I can't help but wonder...had people held the same attitude regarding Jim Crow laws...would they have been repealed?

I think there's room for both.

 

Abortions have been legal in Canada for many years. Before it became a means of birth control, abortions were handled by a committee of three medical doctors in a hospital who made the final decision as to whether an abortion was warranted.

There was also a program in place to counsel the pregnant woman and assist in the placement of the child.

Since Morgentaler won the right to free abortions, I fear, everything went crazy, and abortion became a free condom!

The woman's movement didn't help.

What I think is needed is more instruction at home regarding sexual practices and the proper place of sex in a relationship.

I would never want to see abortions return to the butcher shops that existed a few years back, hence my motto: Abortion if necessary, but not necessarily abortion.

I commend the system mentioned about by Mr. Bell. Indeed, more churches need to get involved in the unwanted pregnancy practice. Don't try to impose a guilt trip, but provide a momentary solution to the situation.

Cheers,

Jim

 

Plenty of time for the guilt trip later- take it from someone who knows.

 

I suspect a lot of Christians ignored abortion. It is laughable that one of his supporters would start a thread like this. CTB isn't the only one with a guilty conscience.

 

EXCELLENT !!!!!!!

 

I wonder why Crabtownboy totally skipped over this post, and replied to the others after it. Man up, crabtownboy!
