John Higdon is the left's version of an Archie Bunker bigot......

I bet he would never write a column titled: Primitive Islam behind the Times on Abortion.

but I must ask....Where does Islam stand in regard to abotion?

.

John Higdon, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Missouri Medical School at Columbia, where he teaches medical psychology. Dr. Higdon was a featured speaker at the Sacramento convention of American Atheists in 1993, and has published numerous articles in American Atheist on the psychology of religion.

I’m a Proud Primitive!

[Berlin_Freeper]

I would think primitive would be ripping out a fetus and making a meal of it. Kind of like what this jerk does by supporting the abortion industry and making money from that.

You have to be advanced to want to save and protect the fetus.

[AliVeritas]

What does God say?

It kills me how those who claim no religion spend so much time hating, instead of enjoying their godless lives.

What could possibly be missing...

Well,.. at least in America he can insult Christianity, and the Catholic Church without fear of violence and rioting in the streets, as is would be the case of insults to other religions in other faraway places. < /sarc

Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.

Higdon's anti-religion bias is palpable.

This guy is just another atheist bigot who is incensed that the Catholic Church - and most Protestant evangelical churches - dare oppose one of the leftist's bedrock principles: the alleged 'right' to the taking of helpless, innocent human life in the womb, which diminishes life and opens to door to all sorts of mischief, as we well know, 35 years post-Roe.

I'm not a Muslim, but to my knowledge, although there is no direct approval of abortion in Islamic teaching, there is no absolute ban on it, either This leaves the issue theologically cloudy and somewhat 'situational', except that the harming of a fully-formed 'fetus' would likely be condemned by Islamic law.

Perhaps an Islamic scholar could clarify the issue, but again, there are ambiguities in Islamic law regarding abortion. Generally, just like many Americans, I would surmise that most Muslims would be against it, except in 'special' situations, especially if the 'situation' involved themselves - or a close family member.

John Higdon said: “ The five Roman Catholics on the nine-justice U.S. Supreme Court would have to rewrite constitutional law - which would be unprecedented.”

It is evident that this so called PhD has no real education or his IQ is so low that he know nothing.

The Constitution does not say one thing about abortion. It is one of the many powers that were left to the states or the people. But of course the anti-American left-wing fascist like John Higdon say the Constitution says many things that it does not.

The judges of the Supreme Court violated the Constitution when they made the pro abortion law. The Constitution gives the power to make law to the Congress only and not the courts.

But as we all know no one in the Congress or we the people have the guts to impeach those of the courts who violate their powers under the Constitution.

The newspaper published this POS? What a Nazi sack of crap this guy is.

[Vince Ferrer]

How times have changed. Proponents of human sacrifice used to be considered members of primitive religions.

[NonValueAdded]

Would it be too cruel to wish out loud that Higdon’s mother was a believer in that sacrament?

[Big Giant Head]

Okay, this guy is a dumb-mass. He’s worried about how us pro-lifers are writing off the numbers of women that died having an illegal abortion, but doesn’t understand that we mourn their loss of life as well. Abortion killed the women.

Abortion kills.

I’m prolife because I’m against killing humans. I cannot see how this is difficult to understand. Oh, he’s “highly educated” and teaching others. Wonderful.

[xtinct]

Wonder if the know-it-all depicted above has the stats on the number of women and teens who have killed themselves post-abortion... understand that there are psychological problems associated with taking your baby’s life.

[stevem]

What are the stats on women who have had abortions who have killed themselves? What about women who have had abortions who have become insane in remorse?

[A.A. Cunningham]

Higdon is going to find out exactly what primitive is following his particular judgment.

[hinckley buzzard]

According to past surveys, the most pro-abortion specialty of the medical industry has been the psychiatrists. Interestingly they were also the most enthusiastic medical supporters of the holocaust in Nazi Germany. It may relate to the fact that psychiatry is generally regarded as the bottom of the medical school barrel.

[Neoliberalnot]

Higdonn is another left wing loonie with an agenda excepting his own life.

I ponder, for all Christians to ask themselves, what would Jesus have to say about the abortion ovens? Would he demonstrate outside on the street and would he speak to those entering the facility of death.

[GOP Poet]

so if the logic follows . . . God is primitive, the bible is primitive, natural selection is primitive, and man’s innate sense of survival by repopulating his own species and birthing younger, stronger versions of himself—in order to be safer (or have a viable group paying into the tax base that provides support for them)—when growing older and more feeble is primitive. 10 commandments is thus primitive. Common decency and morality primitive. The desire to not kill one’s child is this primitive.

Don't think so.

[theBuckwheat]

I propose we treat the unborn human with no more and no less respect than we treat the unborn of endangered species.

Would we allow someone to kill the unborn Spotted Owl? No, in fact, we are so intent on protecting that species we would call out a SWAT team if necessary to protect the nest, the eggs and the adults.

Based on ask an Imam.com, forbidden unless to save the mother.
