Parenting skills are not the question. The right of killing other people is the question.

You didn't answer the question in this post, either

At what age is the murder murder instead of a "choice"?
Medically speaking: During the first Trimester....

At what age does this stop being okay (you haven't answered that yet)?
Maybe you should have abstained or "Stained" if you get the drift and then you would not have personally affected....

Her body, her choice.
Do you have a living will Bob? If so, why? Surely if you were unable to make the decision of life or death for yourself you'd be OK with someone else making that choice for you, right?

So you say there are many adoption agencies begging for these babies... If they are perfect little white babies.... What about the rest... Whose banging down the doors to help them??? Certainly not you!!

i dont know what your point is, but living wills generally speel out that its OK for them to let you die if you are effed.

So i am guessing if bob has one, he would be OK with others makign the choice

When you got pregnant, did you think that it was a fish or frog inside of you and, if you needed to, you could abort her until the 14th week?
Did you ever think it wasn't a human life? If you know it is human from conception, how can you say it is OK to kill it ever?

So the feeling of hoplessness is a reason for murdering an innocent life?

You contradict yourself a lot here it seems. You're ok with abortion and her right to choose but it makes you cringe??????
Well why don't we just take this to the next level... Any sex that is NOT for conceptional purposes is illegal and punishable by prison. Yes the good old puritan days...

That is no life for anyone, and doesn't feel it morally right to bring a person into the world like that?
I would give them the same choice - in cases of rape or the life of the mother. In all other cases, the potential of bringing life into the world was a known factor when the decision was made to have sex. One must live with the consequences of their actions. There are virtually no babies out there in the US that won't get adopted (older kids, sadly, yes, but not babies) - there are waiting lists. It's just plain murder to make any other decision than having the child. What then happens to that life is also regulated - we can't kill unwanted children after the cord is cut, we shouldn't be able to kill them before hand, either. It's just that simple. Just because a baby is tiny does not mean it's not a baby yet.

Again, unless you're talking rape (which is the basis for my caveat that I'd accept abortion as an option for a rape victim), no one forced anyone to have sex, thus risking having a child.

No one has a choice to murder their two day old, either. What's the difference?

That's right, she had the choice to have sex. Just like getting HIV through it, or genital warts, or orgasmic pleasure and intimacy - these are all potential results of the sex, and they all must be accepted as a potential result. Killing the child they took the risk to create is murder, and that's not a reasonable response.

Here is a stat for ya... about 100% of those against abortion do nothing to help those that seek an abortion other than calling them murderers and trying to scare them into your belief system.
Absolutely not true. Many people against abortion adopt, run adoption agencies, teach abstinence and/or safe sex as alternatives, pay taxes to support those of lower income get by until they can get by on their own, etc. What you say here is patently false.
Quote:
I remember when all a good Christian was supposed to do was pray for those sinners and now that has seemed to change to judging other sinners.... Guess God wasn't doing enough so you all decided to take matters into your own hands.
My judgement, as you word it, against abortion is based entirely on secular thoughts. Three times at least above you labeled my thoughts on it as religiously based. Please provide any quote from me that justifies that nonsense.

You're right in your own twisted way. However, I wasn't taught abstinence, I was taught "safe sex". See how well that worked out?
