Outlawing Abortion Doesn't Reduce Frequency

[The Scribe]

It should have never been legalized in the first place.

Cold blooded murder shouldn't be legal for anyone.

People need to learn responsibility. If you're having a child out of wed-lock you weren't very responsible. If people could just wait until marriage like God intended they wouldn't have this problem. :thumbs:

Yeah, it's too bad people aren't perfect.

People aren't perfect. But that doesn't make abortion right.

Why close a thread after only three pages?

Why not five or more, or start a new thread if it goes past a certain page number?

I'm new here, I don't know all the rules you have. :smilewinkgrin:

You need to go through all of the stickies and announcements. This is a closely moderated board. Believe it or not Christians do not always act like Christians to we have some page limits to try and help keep emotions in check.

News and current events has a three page limit.
Politics has a ten page limit.
Most forums have a twenty page limit.
Versions and translation is its own nightmare - it is so volatile that it is pretty much under the control of the moderators to close threads whenever they get out of hand

It's both.

It is bad to show these pictures. Some young people are frightened, but NOT changed. Only frightened. Many other people today, including young people, are so calloused towards media images like this that is only serves to make people disgusted and yes, even entertained, but not changed.

So if a few ARE frightened, repulsed or whatever by graphic pictures and refrain from following thru with an abortion, is that not worth it?

One of the largest problems in today's society is the notion that it's evil, or unhealthy, or unethical or whatever, for a person to see first-hand the results of their behavior.

One day people are going to see exactly what they have wrought by their actions and be totally repulsed by it, either now or in eternity.

Better for them to know now so they have the opportunity to change; no guarentee, but the opportunity.

Yeah, it's too bad people aren't perfect..

I presume this is a TIC comment?! If not, it's rather juvenile.

Who said they refrained? I'm trying to tell you that they don't refrain based on these photos.

Does fear of death stop people from getting behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated? No.

Does fear of AIDS stop inappropriate sexual conduct? No.

And these pictures do not stop abortions. They only serve to stir up feelings and emotional arguments, both pro-choice and pro-life.

In the brief of time in which we have been debating over these photos, how many babies have been aborted?

 

[2 Timothy2:1-4]

And yet I hear testimony after testimony to the contrary. Some who did not get an abortion at all and others who felt like it would have been different if they knew what they were actually doing.

I'm finished here. I've got to go and find another wall to bang my head against. :BangHead:

I give you the last word. :flower:
