The constitution is the law of the land, not the bible. I wish the right wingers would understand that.

first and foremost, good friday morning to everyone; and to the big spaghetti monster in the sky, thank you for another day.

what definition of legal. Women have be preforming abortions since time in memeoriam. If your understanding of the world starts at Jesus' resurrection, then you are dismissing ions of human behavior.

If your faith base is that of jewish law; and remembering that Jesus was a rabbi, then you should see what were the rabbinic laws on abortion at the time that Jesus was on the earth.

Your looking for clarrifiction in the bible when law was written elsewhere.

I wish to direct your attention to the other social issue nearly always under discussion: abortion. This question is directed to pro-choice Christians who use the bible to further same-sex marriage. Why don't you use your faith to further the pro-choice movement. I'm not saying that faith and the law should mix: not one bit. All I ask is, if there is support in the bible for all sorts of progressive causes, why not use some of Jesus' words to convince other Christians that abortion is supported by the Bible?
The bibble has no bearing on the laws of the US.
There's no proof of a jesus guy, etc.

I dunno.
Abortion has been around pretty much since women became pregnant.

Forget the bible, this is the part I don't get: Ask any "progressive" and they'll pat themselves on the back and tell you they are the kings and queens of technological change...except apparently when it comes to sonograms. Then they don't want to look. When the government made it legal to kill babies, perhaps the technology at the time didn't convince them that that's a person in there but what's their excuse now? Now they've become the See No Evil monkey...trotting out risk to the mother's life. What about the majority of abortions? Let's whip out those sonogram images.
Do you think women don't know that they're pregnant?

It would be good for the person to wait until they can take care of a baby before they did things to make one but that is free will and God won't take it away from them even if they are about to make a mistake in judgement or let their emotions rule them.
Please provide some proof of this god thingie that you speak of.
Until then, why the heck should we listen to something that's completely fabricated.

As soon as anything religious makes its way into public discourse, all churches should be taxed.

There is no such thing as pro-choice Christian. The two are mutually exclusive. Same with gay marriage.

Unlike with gay marriage, there is no agenda with abortion. Why would there be, when it is already legal? Pro choice people simply do not see abortion as taking a life, so they don't see anything wrong with it. Their attitude amazes me, because to me abortion is pure horror.
