Defund Planned Parenthood

Quote: Evenbob

I always found it odd that killing somebody
with your car while drunk driving is a crime, but
killing a fetus isn't. Makes no sense.

Well, a fetus isn't "somebody," so it makes perfect sense.

Quote: FrGamble

What if I went out into your yard and dug up the seed that was to grow into an apple tree? Would it still be wrong and should I still go to prison for it?

I could give you 3 alternate choices from the Inquisition, if you prefer.

. It should be made a crime,

You could probably get the clergy's vote on that.

Passion isn't a crime. Mistakes happen, young old.

Do you want to punish 15-17 year olds who aren't smart enough to pour piss out of a boot, for the next twenty years? Absolutely destroy them for one roll in the hay. Brutal.

A fetus is no more a human being than a wart is.

Would you penalize someone for liposuction, for killing fat? It is just tissue. It means no more to the universe than a bug.

I disagree. An acorn is every bit an oak
tree, destroy the acorn and the tree
inside is killed. I'm an atheist and don't
think about this spiritually, but practically.
Logically, a person has human rights at
the moment of conception. We have
no choice in the matter, we just think
we do. If a minor has an abortion, it's
a crime by a minor and is judged
accordingly. An adult is a different
matter. Both father and mother should
be fined for a crime against a person.

Is abortion immoral? I don't even know
what that means. But it is irresponsible
are drastically effects another human.
We always punish when we wrongly
effect others, this should be no different.

If it were a person or spirit, and it is terminated, it will just be reborn into a life that can better nurture it.

I don't want to see babies of mothers on crack, come into this world so suffering, and into a life that is so ugly with near zero chance. Better to just go back into the well or whatever it's called, and come back again.

The parents will suffer, according to their conscience for their errors.

That's exactly the irresponsible behavior
I'm talking about. It's not up to us to
decide the fate of someone and use
reincarnation as the excuse. I'll murder
you, but it's OK because you can start
over. And you're using the outlier
examples of who gets abortions. Most
of them aren't teens and crackheads.
Most are women who should damn
well know better.

Irony or poetic justice?

Irony or poetic justice?

Works as both, I think.

It sure does.

I sometimes wonder how modern Christians would fare with the inquisition. In particular I'd like to see the apologists for the Inquisition as targets.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that those who ignore science and logic in regards to abortion also ignore history.
