If she was raped, give the baby up for adoption. There are many couples who would be willing to take that child.

It is certainly a fact that scientists have varying opinions. That is what science is all about; searching for the truth. That necessitates examining many theories, most of which will ultimately fail. The fact that a scientist disagrees with a colleague doesn't make either of them right or wrong... until the issue is settled. Until then, neither opinion/theory rules.

You do two things when you debate an issue. One is resurrecting dead issues and presenting them as if they were still valid, ignoring current findings that affect those issues. Your information is frequently out of date. The other is that you never focus on the topic at hand. You introduce tangents that distract from the topic at hand.

I'll give you one example; the fossil record issue. You claim it is not a valid means of investigating the past. It is the only possible means of investigating the past and any scientist knows that for a certainty. That will change as we become more able to understand DNA but for now, the only way to flesh out the past is through the evidence left behind by the past.

Your statement was that some atheist scientists poo-poo the fossil record. In the post I am now responding to, you imply that your previous remark had to do with scientists opposing evolution. Those are quite different considerations. You now introduced a tangent that distracts from the issue of the scientific assessment of the validity of the fossil record.

We all know that scientists exist who disagree with Darwin. That's not news. It's not even significant because it is contradicted by the evidence. Evolution is a fact. Even the father of 'irreducible complexity', Michael Behe, acknowledges that evolution is taking place. His argument isn't with evolution but with the origin and design of life.

So, who is it that suggests the fossil record doesn't demonstrate evolution because it most assuredly does. Just what are his/her scientific credentials?

Regardless of whether or not it's the result of rape, That baby is innocent. To abort it just because you don't want it is evil.

JW

Maybe God decided those couples shouldn't have children.

That can happen too, only God knows.

Mr Bombastic

Or maybe God knew that trying to have a child might have endangered the mothers life? Or maybe she or her husband have a genetic disorder that could be passed on to their child? Maybes are just that maybes. What matters is the child that so many are eager to murder for no good reason.

JW

I think that's why the sentences start with 'maybe'.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Can't imagine it Mr. B ... My son a pure gift and is my life..

I lost a baby in my fifth month.. To this day I wonder what she would have done ..

The people who go through abortion do not allow themself to think about " what, he or she would have done." Then there are those who simply don't want that child...

In the end everyone "pays" for their actions whether they believe that or not..

Every baby born is a message from God he is not yet discouraged with mankind..

Mr Bombastic

You know. I often wonder what God is waiting for. When is Jesus coming back? Maybe God has a certain number of vacancies in Heaven that He needs to fill first. If that's the case, our evangelical churches need to redouble their efforts. On the other hand, every baby ever aborted is with God. Perhaps atheists are actually helping to hasten the day of the Lord. I hope that's true. Who knows?

Don’t be so quick to judge Mr B…I'm not saying that I disagree with you that abortion is murder but show a little compassion. There’s only one sin that can’t be forgiven. Jesus himself said:

“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7b

AND…

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.” Matthew 5:21-22

Having zero experience with it, nonetheless, I truly believe that is what I would counsel my family member to do. Including my daughter. That or keep the child.

That said I don't think it should be mandated.

Likewise a mother has the right of self defense, even if it is from a child that isn't purposely threatening ger life or serious endangering her health.

The other 99% of abortions are quite different.

Those examples are the result of poor parenting some of the time. Other times not so much. But, for the sake of argument let's say you're 100% correct.

So, when a woman finds herself pregnant and doesn't want a child because she knows she will be an unfit single parent, your solution is to force her to inflict a felon on society and force taxpayers to support them. Great idea!

I am very sorry to read about what happened to you and you have my sympathy. No sane person would ever think to criticize your decision.
