  Christians don’t want to murder anyone. We don’t want anyone to go to Hell. I don’t understand why you are okay with punishing a baby with murder for your bad decisions instead of having personal responsibility. That’s pretty sickening.

  Imagine putting all the ingredients together to make a cake, putting it in the oven, and getting upset that a cake is being made. It’s absolutely insane.

    Imagine putting cake batter in the oven and 5 minutes later saying it’s a cake

    See also: abortion in the bible and the value the bible places on the unborn. Iirc there’s also a verse that says something about life beginning at the breath. So before you go on a crusade double check that your religion actually says what you think it does and that you’re not being manipulated/riled up by right wing media

      Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart…

      That the one you’re thinking of?

        If he knows all babies prior to birth and loses knowledge of them later for this sinful nature, then on judgement day he won’t say depart from me I never knew you. Murdering babies then is morally best thing you can do.

        Taking verses out of context is fun isn’t it? Maybe speaking to a prophet is different than speaking to everyone? Maybe you should stop taking things out of context?

        en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Christianity_and_abortion#Bi… i think the perspective in the allowing abortion column is stronger. If everyone’s set apart, no one is, so interpretting that passage as referring specifically to jeremiah makes way more set apart. If it meant everyone, it would be easy to change the wording, or just add “and that goes for all humans” or something. Again, an all knowing god would know a verse like that would author confusion

    Humans != Cake. If you bake a cake and leave it out to rot, no one cares. Shouldn’t these same Christians care that non-aborted babies are going into a really fucked up system that will likely churn them and burn them into a for profit criminal justice system?

      They aren’t pro-life, they’re pro-birth. They couldn’t give a shit less once that happens.

      I bet the pro-birther in this post hasn’t adopted anyone. What did the bible say about hypocrites again?

        I can’t even afford a house in this economy, how am I supposed to adopt someone right now? I am happy to adopt once I get married and have my own place. Have you adopted anyone or would you just prefer murdering the children instead?

      Yes, we do. We have hundreds of charities that are dedicated to helping said children. My favorite right now is Let Them Live. The organization works with the mother to provide food, clothing, furniture, and everything else a mother would need to take care of the baby. They also provide other money and counseling for the mother as well. They regularly check in with the women and some of the mothers even end up working in the charity to help others. letthemlive.org

      I just recently found out about the Christian Alliance For Orphans who work on helping families foster and adopt orphans. They are becoming a massive network of churches dedicated to helping orphaned children. cafo.org
