If they could detect if the fetus had a 'Christian gene' that determines whether he or she will be a Christian, then that makes my decision much easier! :lol:

Good call, Abort all the christian babies. :lol:

Why? You wan't to kill all christians? Why not start a holy war?

Because they would lose. The god-fearing red states have all the guns.

I would be sickened to kill my son/daughter even if they were homosexuals. I would simply bring them up knowing that homosexual acts are wrong and are mortal sins. Rerad Dantes Inferno, he puts them into the 7th circle I belive for Violence? ''Ok thats kinda harsh, ive had a bad day, that is in no way a blanket state mnet.

That's something I have never, ever understood. So much of their rhetoric is about how anti-democratic and illiberal elements are trying to "take over the government"... and yet they oppose the last safeguard of free men to prevent this from happening.

A sitting President has publically declared that it is impossible for me to be a patriot or a citizen of the United States of America because of my religious beliefs. You think, for even a second, that I'm going to allow that same government to disarm me?

Neither have I.

The Anarchist said it best when he said “Even is she wants to get pregnant, with the soul intention of having an abortion only to eat the fetus, that is okay by me.” The reason is irrelevant. She has dominion over her body. You have made your self a pathetic joke with this ridiculous statement. Why that? You have made yourself a pathetic joke by your pathetic remark. :P

While the attention grabbing illustration that the Anarchist is probably unlikely, it remains an effective metaphor to illustrate this point. It doesn’t matter why in my eyes a woman wants to have an abortion. As I believe to a point she is not killing a life, and that she has the right to sovereignty over her body, it entails she has a right to determine was is in it motives notwithstanding. Agreed 100%

Gilbert1908 wrote: I believe that realistically we can make abortion far less common and hopefully make it a last resort. Today among many people it is so entrenched as a "right" they often ignore what the actual impact of the choice. That would be nice. Unfortunately, pro-life objection to contraception, sex-ed and public support of pregnant women is the direct cause of so many abortions we see today. When pro-life starts working on reducing the NEED for abortions, THEN the number will go down a lot.

George Herbert Walker Bush-- the current President's father.

Huh. Wow. I misremembered the quote; he only refers specifically to atheists. And, he made this comment while he was the Vice President and campaining for the Republican Party nomination.

George H.W. Bush, 27 August 1987 wrote: No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.

On the other hand, I do not worship the god he is referring to, either.

Now, your head scientists have just developed a machine that shoots a harmless ray into a woman's uterus and can detect the amount of homosexuality of the fetus. You are also highly against abortion. What do you do?

I would, without a doubt, fire the scientist for spending valuable R&D money on a totally useless machine.

Out of curiosity. At what amount of homosexuality are you considered a homosexual?
