There is a choice, even if that thing was illegal. If what you’re saying is true, then we wouldn’t have any murders or rapes or any crimes of any type. They’re illegal, but they still happen. If and when abortion becomes illegal there is a good chance some people will still do it, illegally. But just because people can do something despite the fact that it is illegal does not mean that we should make everything legal.

If what you’re saying is true, then we should legalize _everything_ in order to give people a “choice” to do the right thing.

I don’t really care about your answers, the question is simply intended to make you ponder. I just want you to really think about the question: how would you live your life if there wasn’t a god?

If you find reward in living the way you live today, and you would continue to do so regardless of “proof” or “faith”… why does it matter if a god even exists?

Without choice, there can be no morality. If a person cannot choose to “sin”, if they are not allowed to exert free will, they are not truly human - just animals.

Eliminating a woman’s choice to have an abortion takes away her chance to choose life. Don’t you think a god would want a person to be able to make the “right” choice? How can someone make that choice if there is no choice?

Death is a tragedy. Murder is wrong. But who are you to judge someone’s sins? Isn’t that the job of a god? Are you without sin?

No, I saw Fr. Corapi last March when he spoke for Sacred Heart Church/Lombard at Montini Catholic High School. He was excellent. I also listen to Fr. Corapi on Relevant Radio often. So I think I will let someone else get the chance to go.

Thanks for helping out with the debate at Jill’s website. I was working today and could not contribute. I at least wanted to ask many tough abortion questions to hopefully help plant a seed in the minds of the Pro-Aborts debating there.

These questions are designed to rip up their arguments by adding follow up questions.

So what you’re saying is that one time out of ten, the poorly raised kids are perfectly well behaved and yet still you can tell within ten seconds that they’re poorly raised.

These are truly amazing powers of observation!

Can you also tell within ten seconds:

• Which kids aren’t feeling well
• Which kids didn’t get a nap
• Which kid is having a birthday
• Which kid spent the weekend with deliquent cousins
• Which parent is having a bad day
• Which parent is clinically depressed

. . . or any of the other circumstances that might lead this particular family to behave less than ideally on the particular day when subjected to your astonishingly acute powers of observation?

I think this is the scariest thing I read all day. You can tell whether or not parents are deserving of their children if their children behave like…children. Yeesh.

Out of the 6 I have, I have one that runs around (ADHD), one that is extremely impressive and the rest all fall in between to different degrees depending on their ages, time of the year (they act up more this time of the year when they have been cooped up too long through winter), naptime, medications etc…

Is there any way to add two continuous threads somewhere on the left hand side of the website? I was just visiting the PLAL Hotline News and was stunned to see the legislation coming up in the Illinois Congress this session. It would be nice to add two continuous threads for the following purposes…

1. To give everyone a heads up on upcoming Pro-Life National and Local Legislation.

2. To give everyone a chance to interact about anything including Pro-Life topics.

Just wanted to hear your thoughts.

Mike

I found the answer. It was so difficult to find. So anyone interested should probably save this thread as a favorite. Thanks. In case your interested here it is…

Biological Explanation for the Link

The explanation for the independent link makes good biological sense. It remains unrefuted and unchallenged by scientists because it is physiologically correct.

A never-pregnant woman has a network of primitive, immature and cancer-vulnerable breast cells which make up her milk glands. It is only in the third trimester of pregnancy - after 32 weeks gestation - that her cells start to mature and are fashioned into milk producing tissue whose cells are cancer resistant.

When a woman becomes pregnant, her breasts enlarge. This occurs because a hormone called estradiol, a type of estrogen, causes both the normal and pre-cancerous cells in the breast to multiply terrifically. This process is called “proliferation.” By 7 to 8 weeks gestation, the estradiol level has increased by 500% over what it was at the time of conception.

If the pregnancy is carried to term, a second process called “differentiation” takes place. Differentiation is the shaping of cells into milk producing tissue. It shuts off the cell multiplication process. This takes place at approximately 32 weeks gestation.

If the pregnancy is aborted, the woman is left with more undifferentiated — and therefore cancer-vulnerable cells — than she had before she was pregnant. On the other hand, a full term pregnancy leaves a woman with more milk producing differentiated cells, which means that she has fewer cancer-vulnerable cells in her breasts than she did before the pregnancy.

In contrast, research has shown that most miscarriages do not raise breast cancer risk. This is due to a lack of estrogen overexposure. Miscarriages are frequently precipitated by a decline in the production of progesterone which is needed to maintain a pregnancy. Estrogen is made from progesterone, so the levels of each hormone rise and fall together during pregnancy.

Of course, while saying you are in favor of choice, you are very clearly against some people’s choices even if you do not want to take it away. If you are against it, fine, but you cannot say that you are in favor of choices if you want to take away my God-given right to have all the children He is willing to give me. I suspect that even if my children were perfectly behaved, if I had seventeen of them, you would want to take away my ability to have more. Maybe you are the exception, but even if you are, most of those who subscribe to VHEMT probably want to take away my rights.
