Featured When Does Life Begin?

Very true. I also believe that a lot of the hormones that we put in our foods also impacts whether or not a woman's uterus is accepting of fertilized egg.

And as you mentioned the medications Ann, I can't tell you the number of women that I know who have had a hard time getting pregnant after years and years of taking birth control pills.

Our body chemistries are well balanced by God. Once we start ingesting foods filled with hormones, etc, or taking pills with hormones in them(i.e BC pills) it throws our natural balance off.

 

I have been reading a fascinating book on the life and times of Dr. Mutter who was a pioneering American surgeon from Philadelphia in the 19 th century. One chapter is about a young woman and her horrible and deadly experience of abortion . At the time, it was a belief that a woman was pregnant when there was the " quickening", that is when she first felt the movement of the baby in utero. Do you think there are people who hold to this old fashioned idea, that beforehand you just have a bunch of cells floating about so to speak?

Zaac, I think you are being a bit too simplistic about God balancing the body chemistry perfectly. I certainly do not wish to become embroiled in a theological debate as I am not learned in that arena, but having read "Dr. Mutter's Marvels", I cannot be other than horrified at the appalling miseries human beings dealt with in bygone centuries...the repulsive necrosing ulcers and cancers, the traumatic injuries and the awful agonies of congenital malformations...which drove the desire to relieve human suffering in medicine and surgery.

 

Annsni.....oh dear!

 

Yep that would be crabby, he also believes that Planned Parenthood is a good organization that needs to be supported by our government. Then tries to claim he does not support abortion.
