The power to determine life and death, except in wartime and in self-defense, is a right reserved for God and Him alone. As I said before, when fallen mankind decides that he is omnipotent enough, wise enough, and all-knowing enough to choose who lives and who dies, we end up with Stalins and Hitlers and Maos.

So are you claiming that parents who use birth control to determine when their children shall be conceived are doing what Stalin and Hitler and Mao did?

While I do believe that birth control thwarts the will of God, and the commandment of God to people to "be fruitful and multiply, for this topic I am referring to children who are already formed and well on thier way to being born. I am saying that once a woman is pregnant, and decides that for whatever reason she doesn't want to be bothered, and she goes and has her child dismembered and removed, she is thinking along the same lines as the monsters of history.

They also had thier reasons for not wanting some people around. The common line of "reasoning" is that some people are inconvenient, bothersome, sub-human, inferior, and therefore don't need to live anymore. The monsters then act on the "logic" and, making the decision to eliminate the "unwanted", proceed to slaughter.

The conclusion is the same: mothers and fathers do not have the divine wisdom and omnipotence neccessary to determine life and death, and neither did Stalin, Hitler, or Mao.

And, because God always provides a way for people to not sin against Him, there are millions of people who would take those "unwanted" children and love them and raise them.

There is no excuse.
