Roe v. Wade to be overturned?

Those aren't the Christians to whom you referred.

 

Uh, yes they are. I was not talking about anyone on this board.

 

Then you need to work on your writing. Get mad, don't get mad ... fine by me. But don't go paintin' with a broad brush and act surprised when you get called out on it.

 

My writing is fine. The "Christians" getting bashed here are the far-right evangelical hypocrites in linked stories. Sorry if you feel otherwise, but you're wrong.

 

Sure women do. They’re the ones who have to carry that unique other human.

 

Yeah I don’t get how MEN equate themselves with women on this decision. We shot some sperm, that’s it.

 

Can't say on the other ones, but on this one it's a definite "yes."

 

How many people -- whether Christ-followers or not -- are inconsistent on those issues?

As for Jesus, well, he might not be the guy flipping a switch to execute a condemned man. He'll be the one a person's belief in Him, or lack thereof, will send a condemned man to Hell, though.

He wouldn't build a wall to keep anybody out of anywhere, not even Heaven. But He is the proverbial wall through which access to His Father, and Heaven, will be gained, or not.

He wouldn't need a vaccine, but would lament anyone's illness.

For that matter, he wouldn't need assault rifles. He certainly wouldn't use them, and would condemn anyone else doing so.

Children have a pretty exalted status in Heaven, and in Jesus' eyes. (See Matthew 18:2-6 and Mark 9:36-37, just for starters). So, as with this whole discussion, I guess it depends on when He would see the fetus as a child. And, yes, I'd think that would be, probably, at conception, and that he'd be against abortion.

 

Maybe because a baby, and the making of it, is as much his doing, as hers?

I know people are not thinking of when a couple actually care about each other, but rather, the less-usual circumstances in which someone becomes pregnant by force. But what if the circumstances were different? For all the people contending that men should have no say in any decision regarding abortion, would you really say that to your husband or significant other, and mean it?

 

This is such an absurd argument it barely merits a reply. If you cannot appreciate the difference in the existence of a human being and a potato, I don't know what to say.

 

That woman bear children is not something we can change. It's a fact of life and it shouldn't alter how we view human life.

 

Good grief. You can look at just the Abrahamic triad and see wide spectra of belief. Why insist on painting with such a broad brush when it comes to Christians?
