I'm against abortion, let that be said
Even though I would consider the fact that there are circumstances where a choice needs to be made between the physical and mental health of the mother and a very young growing baby.

Well you say you're against abortion but you don't say why. What is the basis of your being against abortion?

Or would you make the choice to let a mother of a family of 6 die in favor of a fetus of 2 weeks?
Sometimes mothers develop cancer and event hough I've seen some movies about heroic mothers who survived it all, most don't.

Why don't we dispense with the make believe situations and the movies and talk about real life.
The vast majority of abortions are not necessary to save the life of the mother.

How christian is it to let a mother die?

The right thing for a doctor would be to do whatever is possible to preserve the life of both baby and mother. That should be his or her concern and focus.

The whole abortion issue is not as clearcut as it seems to be.
It would be easy if it was.

God doesn't have any problem being clear cut about this or any other life issue. It's selfish thinking that muddies the waters. We really want things our own way so we invent gray areas as if God is fooled or stumped by our great intellectual arguments. "Greater love has no man than this, that one lay down his life for His friends" John 15:13, the words of Jesus Christ. The greatest love is sacrificial love which seeks the highest good of the other person and puts them first. A unborn baby is a person/human being who is in the process of growing and developing in the mother's womb. Jerimaiah 1:5
“Before I shaped you in the womb,
I knew all about you.
Before you saw the light of day,
I had holy plans for you:
A prophet to the nations—
that’s what I had in mind for you.”

God only knows the plans that He had in mind for each of the tens of millions of babies that we have slaughtered. Think of the possibilities. From them may have come the cures to cancer , AIDS and other diseases and sicknesses. From them may have come incredible inventions and discoveries to revolutionize the way we get things done. From them may have come leaders who would have served the people with integrity and righteousness and business people with new ideas for prospering the economy and creating more jobs. From their ranks would have come pastors , teachers and even prophets. Doctors, Surgeons , Nurses, medical technicians , From them may have come millions of acts of kindness,compassion and courage which in turn would have touched countless other millions and on and on like ripples from a stone thrown in to a pond. So these tens of millions of lives would have touched multiplied even more tens of millions and even billions of lives around the world.

Politicians are not only talking about the human aspects.
There's a legal aspect to he whole issue.
When legal rights are given to a baby in the whomb, it means it can buy a house, for instance. Or it can inherit a fortune and then die at birth anyway.

It's hard to believe the extent to which those in the pro abortion camp will go to convince the rest of us that killing innocent babies is perfectly justified. And now it's come to this ? We can't protect babies because if we do, the baby might go out and buy a house? The baby might inherit some money and then die so we should just kill it to save any possible future trouble? Are you crazy? We are talking about the right to live.

There's also another aspect.

You are now free to make your own decision. Which is a Christian one, I understand.
No one enforces your decision on you.

But is it up to you and a president of your choice, to enforce your way of life on others?

One of the purposes of law is to protect the innocent and vulnerable from those who would harm them or take unfair advantage of them .

Though my stance against abortion is founded on the fact that God has revealed enough truth for us to know what is right and wrong, that doesn't mean that I am forcing my beliefs about God on anyone. We have a Declaration of Independence and a Constitution which give certain rights to every individual which cannot be denied them , among those being "Life" and "Liberty". But let me get this straight......You don't consider a baby worth protection regardless of religious beliefs? Are you also against laws prohibiting stealing , murder, slander, bearing false witness in a court of law, etc...etc.....? These are also strongly held Christian beliefs. So I guess you wouldn't want to have this way of life enforced on those who don't see anything wrong with doing these things. In fact , why not do away with all laws which are enforced on us against our will or desires? Can you imagine the kind of society this would be and who would be running it?
A society where anything goes and if it hurts you , that's not my concern.

Obama might not be as strict in religion as you are, at least he leaves you the responsibility to make your own choices and take the responsibility on the last day.

Again, we don't use this kind of talk when we are talking about any other crime or person. Concerning stealing: we don't say "you make your own choice and then take responsibility on the last day but we won't tell you it's wrong or right. You do what you want to whomever you want until that "last day".

What society needs is laws that protect the innocent and vulnerable regardless of age or stage of development. Whatever Obama's religion is, it apparently changes to fit his political views when necessary. He won't even allow babies who are born alive after a botched abortion to be given life-sustaining care. He voted against helping these babies at least 3 times.

I gather you accept Mrs. Palin?
Is she really as Christian as you think she is?

I don't know Governor Palin's heart. God does .
But I know where she stands on this issue and it is firmly on the side of life for the unborn and accidentally born. Senator McCain has also affirmed that he will be a pro-life president.

Laane, you said at the begining that you were against abortion. Yet, the whole rest of your comments are an attempt to legitimize it. You can't have it both ways. If you are not sure, then why not take the side of life. Why would you choose death for innocent babies ? Why not speak up on their behalf instead of on the behalf of a politician who doesn't care.
