Interesting... I take it you are so hardline on this as some of your fellow prolifers shall we say. It seems to me you belief as I do that abortion as wrong but you aren't so hardcore as to, shall we say, rake people over the coals? If you want me to take a position... I would agree with you that I think our society should deal with the problems of removing abortion of society and filling that with the burden of these parentless kids. I like to present this from angles.. in the sense that regardless of the moral highroad God instilled in us a choice.. to be sinners or not to be sinners.. to believe in him or not to believe in him.. that's the of beauty creation.. God doesn't need us to force people to be rightous. I think it's funny to listen some people talk and act like it's their duty to instill their morals into other people. God wants you to help him to help me understand him. If he wanted force God has more power than obviously any of us can imagine. I go on this tangent to mean only one thing. As far as abortion goes, if society can come with a solution(arfitfical womb) to prevent abortion there is no reason not to use it.. but until that is in place it is a God given right for man to sin and that's the way God wanted it.

Well, I don't come at this issue from a religious angle, if that's what you mean. I don't have a problem with those who do, it's just that I can't confidently say that I know what God wants us to do about abortion or anything else. I would like to think he would want us to stop abortion, but that's because I like to think he is a good God. Regardless, abortion offends me because the concept of killing offends me and strikes me as intrinsically wrong unless done for an extremely good reason. All the more so when it's done to children. Am I about to launch a jihad on those who have or provide abortions? No. I would just simply like them to stop. I don't really care how that happens.
