Do You Think It's okay to murder babies?

No Christians Don't Murder. However, I think if you are grown enough to HAVE SEX AND HAVE A BABY, YOU ARE GROWN ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES.

If you don't want to make babies, DON'T HAVE SEX. What do you think?

Update:

Yes I agree use birth control if you want to have sex. What I am saying here is that young people should not have babies unless they are prepared to take care of them. Now I know there are other circumstances, like someone said rape victim or if there is something wrong with the baby.

This is to the Veggie Lady, I am trying to cut WAY DOWN ON EATING MEAT. I agree that it isn't all that great for you to eat a bunch of meat, and yes processing it does cause pollution. Look at Smithfield Foods here in VA, they were supposed to pay fines for polluting the Pagan River, have they NO.

    Some here may have said to this 'kid' not to tell adults to not have sex.

    Fine. I'm an adult, and I'll tell them: don't have sex. If you don't have sex ever again, guess what? You won't die.

    And neither would any child that you didn't want.

    In this argument, it really boils down to 'my pleasure versus your life.' How absolutely and brazenly repugnant.

    No birth control is 100% effective; and a person is genetically different from the moment of conception. If a person is 100% dependent on life support to live, we don't, at that point, say he ceases to be a person; especially if that dependency is just for a short time. We also don't say if a person is a quadruple amputee he ceases to be a person; we would never say that if his limbs could be regrown or reattached at some point in time. A new, genetically distinct human is a human; his state of early development or total dependency on his mother for life support does not change this reality. The term fetus as opposed to baby is either purely descriptive (as in, a fetal human, but still a human, nonetheless) or is only there to arbitrarily soften the moral guilt felt if someone finds his life too 'inconvenient.'

    Even using birth control-- (and the assumption is non-aborting birth control, at that) people still shouldn't engage in sexual activity unless they are prepared to have and raise what children may come.

    To answer your question, you put it well; a grown-up, responsible statement, regardless of your age. Which, I see from your profile, is old enough to be quite respectable, and respected.

    First of all, Christians murder men, women, and children all the time. So do non-Christan's.

    This is blatant overgeneralization. What if there's no way the mother would be able to take care of a baby? What if it endangers the mother's health? I don't really suggest sending the baby to the already overcrowded child services system where it would be lucky to be adopted at all.

    Sex isn't just about reproduction, it's natural and healthy to do; just use birth control. Women have the right to their own body, and if they want to abort a fetus (not a baby) that's their choice.

  • Gosh, the bible seems to condone the wholesale murder of men, women, children, and babies--even pregnant women.

    And do you think it's okay to murder animals? You do every time you eat meat. And in the U.S. alone, 10 billion sentient land animals are murdered for YOUR tastebuds every year. You can't be pro-life if you eat dead animals.

    Anyway, responsible adults who don't want to have babies use contraception. It doesn't completely eliminate unwanted pregnancies, but it does sharply reduce the chances.

    And I'd love to hear you tell a rape victim that she has to carry the resultant pregnancy to term so as not to "punish the father by killing his child".

    Now, go away, you delusional child.

    A person can't be forced even to donate blood to save somebody else. Thus, a woman should not be forced to carry a fetus that she doesn't want.

    Actually, God and the Bible are not against abortion or killing babies:

    First, about 1/3 of all pregnancies end in a natural abortion. This makes God (who supposedly controls everything) the biggest abortionist of all.

    Leviticus 27:6

    If it is a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels of silver and that of a female at three shekels of silver.

    [NOTE: Babies have just monetary value, not moral value, and no value is placed on fetuses or babies less than one month old.]

    Numbers 5:21

    here the priest is to put the woman under this curse of the oath - "may the LORD cause your people to curse and denounce you when he causes your thigh to waste away and your abdomen to swell (causes you to have a miscarrying womb and barrenness)."

    Exodus 21:22,23

    "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely [has a miscarriage] but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life."

    Hosea 9:14

    Give them, O LORD — what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that are dry.

    Hosea 13:16

    ... because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.

    2 Kings 15:16

    At that time Menahem, starting out from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah and everyone in the city and its vicinity, because they refused to open their gates. He sacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.

    Numbers 31:17

    "And kill every woman who has slept with a man."

    Psalm 137:8-9

    O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

    Its not a baby.....the baby is not completely form until few months after.....by the time abortion is done (usually 3-4 weeks) is just a whole bunch of cells together. It doesnt have a brain, any organs, any defined body parts. So its not a baby.

    In other words, abortion.

    Me? I think it should be done only in cases where the baby would live to suffer--if there were crippling or alienating defects.

    Tell that to a rape victim whom gets pregnant.

    A egg yolk is not a chicken,

    An acorn is not a tree,

    A fetus is not a baby,

    So don't lay this crap on me.

    No. That's why you cancel it before it becomes a baby.

  • 1 decade ago

    The pro choice/abortion crowd is all about dehumanization. If the baby is not a person, it is ok to kill it.

    And why wouldnt they go for that premise? It worked for the Nazi's and the slave owners. What great company to keep.
