I appreciate your thoughtful response Minnie.
I have to disagree with your thoughts on an unborn child. While I understand there are times when an unborn child is not going to make it due to deformities or similar circumstances, these circumstances do not have anything to do with the decision of a mother to end the life of her unborn child. Your experience that you've provided does not say anything meaningful about an unborn child's personhood. There are documented instances of an "aborted" child being born alive and surviving. I had a friend who was born at 6 months, and he survived and seems to be doing fine. Other children in this country are aborted at that age in the womb. This fact is more than tragic in my mind. The simple fact is that we don't know at what point a fetus becomes a person. Many will make arbitrary decisions about it, but the simple fact is we don't know the instant. In my mind, because we are dealing with a human life, we must err on the side of caution in this regard.
I have a firm belief in a Creator, my God. I believe that our lives are created at conception, our life, our spirit, our soul. This is why I believe that abortion at any point is just dead wrong, forgive the pun.
I can understand that those who do not believe in God, see no wrong here. Honestly, in that world there really isn't anything ever wrong to do, just illegal or unpopular. Right or wrong is no longer the question.
Regarding your signature, I'll stand somewhat corrected. By itself it is a wonderful statement. Coupled with a pro-abortion stance, it just seems horrific to me. It's interesting what context will do to a simple statement.
