Not being a man who believes in the literal translation of the bible, I don't use it as a crutch. I make my own opinions based on the best information at hand.
But many anti choice fanatics ARE religious and DO consider the word of the bible to be factual.] For those people I say, use the bible and read when Life Begins.
For those who want to change the topic "CONVENIENTLY" in the middle of a thread... If you are a literal bible man, then by all means use the BIBLE as if it were FACT. However, if you DO believe the bible and DO consider it's words FACT... Then under pain of mortal sin, you MUST believe ALL the bible, not just the text that "CONVENIENTLY" fits your agenda.
Thank You for Leviticus 18:22 clearly states homosexuality to be an abomination. AND, I am sure that if you USE these words to bolster your agenda, you will have no problem at all LIVING UP to these additional LAWS of the good book: (Remember, you can't pick and choose... You believe it all to be true, or it's all a lie)
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual unseemliness – Lev. 15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord – Lev. 1:9. The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination – Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev. 24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

Cicero... You really do have a Nazi fixation don't you... possibly some therapy might get your mind off of your Hitler hero worship and back to reality.

You are the master of double speak. The Fehrur would be impressed.
Really Cicero, Fehrur... Hitler... Nazi's... A real extremists fixation.
25 weeks pregnancy is not uncommon, especially in multiple births, where an early delivery is expected and planned for. less than that is much more uncommon, to the point of usually being extremely unlikely... but nothing is impossible.

Well yes, extreme fixation when speaking to an extremist. I will not fall into the trap where the person that is pro-life is the extremist. I believe the person that errs on the side of death when the time life begins is still undetermined is the extremist. The rhetoric you use during this exchange has been just that, empty rhetoric.
Leave me out of it, I've never used that word in this conversation.
My apologies MT, I was double teamed by Bumble/Cicero, and I mistakenly included you in the mix.

The hatred for abortion is hatred directed at a PRINCIPLE.....not for a specific people, race, culture or religion.
Abortion was originated with the hope to eliminate or lower the population of the blacks. (do your homework/history-http://www.dianedew.com/sanger.htm)
Like Hitler, who was hell bent on exterminating a particular race/religion (the Jews), abortion was also the ideal solution for the extermination of a certain race, (the blacks), and a segment of society, (the mentally ill).
These so called PRO DEATH people are leading you down the garden path of deception. They will use words like PRO CHOICE, WOMEN'S RIGHTS, THEY ARE JUST CELLS......that my friend is EXACTLY what the National Socialists do!!! Really boxy....don't you get it yet??? You and many others are being nothing more than brainwashed and deceived. If you can't see this now boxy....you will never see what's coming next!!!
When the INSANE are running the ASYLUM In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. -- Friedrich Nietzsche
“How fortunate for those in power that people never think.” Adolph Hitler
"Abortion was originated with the hope to eliminate or lower the population of the blacks. (do your homework/history"
This may be a shock to you Bumble, but "Abortion wasn't originated" to eliminate blacks.
The first recorded evidence of induced abortion, is from the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus in 1550 BC. A Chinese record documents the number of royal concubines who had abortions in China between the years 500 and 515 BC, as well as many references to abortion in ancient Greece and ancient Rome.
Apparently for you, the term "DO YOUR HOMEWORK/HISTORY", means find some data that agrees with your agenda.
