    I don't see how people can say they think abortion is wrong because it kills a child then say it's ok in some cases.

    This is why I dislike trying to legislate morality. Whose morality? Whose standard?

    I certainly don't have all the answers but I do believe you can be anti abortion and pro choice at the same time. I am anti abortion for myself, but I don't think I have the right to make that decision for someone else.

    If you are anti abortion are you also anti morning after pill?

    I think that's where most of the controversy comes in. Who decides when a child's life is formed?

    Not everyone interprets God the same way you do or even believes in the same God as you do or even believes in God at all. This is where legislating morality comes in and whose morality are you going to use?

    I still believe it's the christians duty to bring non believers to Christ. Then let God speak to them as to how they conduct their life and decisions. Christians should not be telling others how they believe they should live their life, that's God's job. Christians and churches should be more for support than condemning. And yes, that is just my belief.

    So then it's okay to let the killing of innocent babies go on, because that's what people "belive" is right.
    I can't go that route.
    I think someday when we wise up, we'll call it a holocust.

    I wouldn't want to have an abortion myself but that's my belief.

    But you have some people that always want to carry everything to the extreme and deny some people with life threatening illnesses some cutting edge treatment because a few people don't believe in stem cell research. What about those peoples' lives? Aren't they worth something? I think someday when we wise up we will see how ignorant it is to deny stem cell research and treatment to dying people.

    Speaking of ignorant. How come some many people don't know that adult stem cells can be used for the same kind of research?
