Hey Jay....how many kids will you personally commit to adopt of druggie mothers that dont have a chance in hell of raising a child or possibly even giving birth to a healthy one?
You bettah buy a bigger house! Or maybe they could just live in that prison......
Kool!
Yeah because we all know that those kids would be better off dead. Sorry, but the arguments that "they will be abused", "they won't be loved" etc. just don't hold water. Because even those things are better than being dead.
And your vast experience actually TALKING to kids/adults who were or are in those situations is what? Because, see, the truth is that is NOT what many of them would say.
Nor do you have any idea what it is to have a child who will never speak, walk, talk, etc and to have to deal with that child and your others. I don't claim to fully, but I do listen to those who do. Also, to claim that God decided those children should live.. is as wrong as claiming that God decided it was OK to shoot people because humanity was allowed to invent guns or the atomic bomb, etc. With technology/knowledge comes increased responsibilty. That IS very much what the Bible teaches!

If I'm swimming in the Atlantic Ocean and see a school of sharks and get out of the water, should I say anything to you as you pass me on the beach to go into the same water? Or should I let "God enforce it"?
No, actually, I would probably keep swimming and not get out at all, unless it was a bull or great white shark.

Except one of our main points is there's little "alive" about a collection of fertilised cells. They may very well develop sentience, but at the time of "murder" they have none.

If that was a rhetorical question, then what was the intended rhetoric?

It is posts like these that confirm the notion that you can be educated yet dumb as a rock. Have you talked to any of the aborted babies to ask them, "Are you better off now than if you had been born?" ALIVE is ALWAYS better than dead. Humans have a survival instinct....we want to LIVE!!!!!!!! God did not create us TO DIE in the womb! DO NOT use the Bible to defend your indefensible position! You obviously have no clue what the Bible teaches. So shut it, please..... I can not take much more of your mindless babbling.
What part of THOU SHALL NOT KILL do you NOT understand?

The part where you think its perfectly OK to let a mother and/or her future children die, be unable to be born to save a life that is tenuous at best.. . to name just one example.
Oh, and the best translation is "murder", not "kill". That, too makes a difference.

- pretend that your opponent is secretly on your side
- call them a troll (phatscotty, anyone?)
- imply that they should be dead
- insist that they aren't "enlightened" because of where they live
i will keep these tips in mind during my next debate. thanks, liberals!
edit: oh, and i forgot player's method: take an unusual minority of cases that make your ideals easier to stomach, and repeatedly make the argument ONLY about those cases. maybe if we ignore the vast number of cases where abortion is obviously murder, people will be less likely to call you a heartless murderer if you support abortion rights!

Those are great ideas Johnny. Myself, I prefer generalizing everyone who disagrees with me into a single, uniform group, and then creating strawmen to argue against, rather than what's actually being put forward as debate.

You mean like exactly what TFK did in his post with those abortion pictures, except he was ignoring the vast number of cases that take place in the first trimester?

And I suppose this is a logical, rational argument then
