and there will be some that want to ban abortion entirely:
1. Who will pay for prenatal care if the mother can't afford it? (For example, Texas leads the nation in teen pregnancies.)
2. How will states deal with an increase in babies the parents can't afford? How will social programs to feed these babies be expanded?
3. Will state-funded DNA testing be automatically enacted to confirm paternity? How will paternity tests be bodily forced upon accused fathers?
4. Will stiffer penalties, including prison, be enforced against fathers who refuse to pay child support? Will the mothers be represented pro bono if they can't afford attorneys to ensure this happens?
5. Will rape charges be brought by the state if the girl is underage and the man isn't?
^^^^^^^EXACTLY ^^^^^^
It comes down to women being "blamed for" getting pregnant. "She should have kept her knees together". "She shouldn't be parading around in a short skirt"."She was asking it for it."
Guys, be part of the solution and get vasectomies instead of relying on women to be on birth control. Those methods are not 100% effective, especially the condom. The condom has the worst record. When women get a tubal ligation it is permanent but a vasectomy for men is fully 100%reversible. There's no good reason not to get one.
Thou shalt not kill? Of course that was said years BC.
And murder was clearly differentiated from aborting a fetus in Exodus 21. If the woman is killed, the murderer is kiled. If the fetus is killed, the husband can beat the perpetrator up and demand money.
They are very clearly separated from one another. Biblically, murder is met with capital punishment. Since destroying the fetus is punished with a fine instead, God obviously does not see that as murder.
Obviously thou shall not kill means specific killing - murder - or people would not be allowed to eat animals. Right? Not could people possibly enact capital punishment.
However, this isn't a debate on morality. This is about children who are actually born. Do you have any answers to my questions in the original post?
