Abortions before 1973

[JerryL]

Yea he hasnt really provided anythign reliable on this.

Yes, I posted a link on this early today. Not my job to do your legwork.

 

[Marcia]

So, do you want to go back to illegal and have about as many still done?

I cannot in good conscience support legalized abortion. I don't think more babies would be aborted if it's illegal - I think less would be aborted.

Not much less. If a women has it in her head to get rid of that baby, legal or not won't make a difference. As has been proved by history.

This could not be more wrong. It is a fallacy used as a political tool and an excuse to justify pro-choice.

Do you think just being illegal is going to slow it down much. I guess you don't realize the things that people are capable of. Abortions have went on for centuries, even back to the Roman Empire. If a woman foolishly gets pregnant and doesn't want that child, it will be gone. You do understand the depravity of man right? How evil we are?





Im tired, enough for now, it's bedtime.

 

[StefanM]

So you really don't care about the babies? All you really care about is the legal aspect of it?

No. I do care about the babies.

What I said, though, is that whether or not back alley abortions occur doesn't affect my belief that abortion should be outlawed.

I think that when the angel Gabriel told Zacharias about the coming birth of John in Luke 1: 15

Luke 1:15. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.

Let us not forget verse 41

Luke 1:41. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

and then there is Psalm 139:13

Psalm 139:13. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

WOW straight from the Word of God!!
Who can deny or even argue these Holy Words?

It sure is hard to believe that anyone could support or support anyone whose party says it is alright to murder children who God acknowledges their existence. I know some are called and even acknowledge that they are unbelievers.

I honestly do not know what to think about those who support this and claim to know my God.

I do cry for the children we have lost to murder and cry for those who are responsible whether by deed or support.

My human self wants to strike out in a rage known to madmen, but my Christian self knows to pray for healing of the minds.

I ask forgiveness of anyone I have offended by any sharpness of my tongue, but I give no apology for the message I try to plea for the protection of the unborn children.

So, is your logic then the following...


"Since people are going to break laws, let's just not have any."

Sorry, I don't think that will work...nor do I think that is morally right.

Per LE's request, this thread is started to try to answer a few questions. I am against abortion, let's get that out of the way first. If People here keep bringing up that we are killing 1.4 million a year and killing maybe a "mozart" or a "president" or a doctor that will cure cancer. I refuse to play on these "emotion" tatics. Let's be honest, no one is reporting statistics before the decision,there were 1.2 illegal abortions a year before 1973. We are just playing on numbers. There is a difference of 200,000 a year before and after.
Answering TT from the other thread, There isn't really a big a number as you would have people believe. We really do have to answer serious questions like "What about the women that will go back to back alley abortions?"

Jerry, you have your facts and history wrong. Abortion was already legal in some states prior to 1973 - some began legalizing abortions in the 1960's. What Roe accomplished was to make it legal in all states, no matter what those states wanted to do. So any abortion data you provide prior to 1973 has to take into account that many of those abortions were legal, not the strawman "back-alley" ones.

Your reasoning is faulty and patently unbiblical and ungodly from the start - i.e., let's make something legal since people will do it anyways. Not a good way to build a society, unless you are an anarchist.

Amen and amen!!
