To all the people saying "We don't eat fetuses", your whole argument that even though it's not fully developed, it's still life, which means that fully developed animals are still life. Your whole argument is that killing life is bad, no matter how developed it is. If that is your case, then TECHNICALLY, yeah, you should be a vegetarian. But, then again, you might think animals are below people, so they don't get the same "pro-life" treatment, do they?

No. I personally would probably not get an abortion because if for some reason I got pregnant as a teen in the next couple years (which I'm smart enough not to), my mom had four kids and I know there would always be someone to help me. But I am definitely pro-choice because every woman has a different situation. For example if a small girl (small body, but like 15) accidentally got pregnant, the baby could really hurt her as she gave birth. Also, if abortion is illegal, women will do it themselves or find and illegal doctor to do it. So therefore, I am pro-choice.

Are you gonna go lecture a lion for hunting down a wildebeest? Didn't think so. I'm not for slaughter houses or anything, and I don't think vegetarians are stupid or anything like that, but we need food and nutrients. And as long as farmers are treating their animals well and killing them with respect, then that's fine with me. It's the circle of life buddy, deal with it.

In actuality, God created humans, and every animal, told the only two humans at the time that they were in charge of every animal. We are the top of the food chain. Occasionally, a wildebeest can kill a lion, but that doesn't make him above it on the food chain. I guarantee that the expert on murdering bears would be able to kill a bear hand to claw. It takes knowledge, and bears hunt every day, and maul, but humans don't have to struggle to survive. Back when we hunted with spears and stuff, we killed bears. We are the top, and we are superior to animals.

you think humans are the top of the food chain? technically speaking, yes, we have manufactured tools that allow us to remain the dominant species on earth. that's not saying though that we could take on ANY beast of ANY size in ANY environment. we are definitely not the top of the food chain in a lion's den, at the bottom of the ocean, or even in plain ol' nature. people are always surprised to read stories like that dude getting mauled by his tiger, or that guy from grizzly man getting his throat ripped out by a bear. but that's just pure animal nature. our revolutionary evolutionary wonder are our brains, and we only thrive in environments where we can use that to our advantage (making tools.) otherwise, we are so dead compared to 10 foot tall wild grizzly bears. all in all, sometimes we're not at the top of the food chain. plain and simple.

Okay, this is incredibly long. And it's proof a six thousand year ago beginning, because obviously we have to start some time. All which I am saying is fact. Irrefutable, solid fact. In Genesis, there is a near complete genealogy. There are a few absences (I don't remember either 6 or 8) where it isn't a direct father to son, so we have to guess. There could be a couple generations in those slots, but most experts agree it should be one or two. However, even at 10 generations, the earth still comes out to be less than 10,000 years old. Okay, so the genealogy from Adam to Jesus is 4,000 years. Add in the two thousand, and we have six. Now, this is Biblical evidence. The Bible is historically correct, whether or not you choose to believe that. I will give other evidence in the next couple of posts.

Many evolutionists claim the earth is 6 billion years old. I think that they are six zeros mistaken. They claim that they radiometric date things. And by this oh so reliable method, they came to the conclusion that dinosaurs went extinct 70 million years ago. Well, about a decade ago, non fossilized dinosaur bones were unearthed in Alaska. Non fossilized. Even the evolutionists were baffled, because their theory says that that area was much warmer a long time ago, so the cold couldn't have preserved the bones. Also, scientists at the University of Montana were shocked when they found T. rex bones that were not totally fossilized. Not only were the bones not fossilized but they appeared to have blood cells which would be impossible if they were millions of years old. However, if you choose to say that all this is a lie, well then, you are incredibly wrong, but I have more evidence to come.

Now, they could all be loons, or the timelines don't match up. Supposedly, people walked the earth 1 million years ago. However, I am saying that we originated 6,000 years ago. Here is an interesting calculation I read about: Today the population grows at 2% per year. If we set the population growth rate at just 0.5% per year, then total population reduces to zero at about 4500 years ago. If the first humans lived 1,000,000 years ago, then at this 0.5% growth rate, we would have 10^2100 (ten with 2100 zeroes following it) people right now. If the present population was a result of 1,000,000 years of human history, then several trillion people must have lived and died since the emergence of our species. Where are all the bones?

Here is the article where I am getting the staggering amount of evidence: http://www.godsaidmansaid.com/topic3.asp?Cat2=262&ItemID=668 The earth's magnetic field also points to a very, very young earth. Scientists believe that the earth is a large electromagnet and the source of the magnetic field is probably a large electric current. In 1971, Dr. T. Barnes theorized that nothing keeps the earth going except its own inertia. Because it is not being refueled with energy the Barnes theory says that the current is running down slowly like a flywheel without a motor. Consequently the strength of the earth's magnetic field is decreasing. Since the first measurement of the earth's magnetic field in 1835, it has lost 7% of its strength. According to the Barnes model the strength of the magnetic field should decrease by a constant rate each year and the data is consistent with just such a decrease. Present data points to a magnetic field which has lost one-half of its

Well of course they have personalities, but they don't have our thought process, and weren't made in the image of God. You realize you are comparing animals to us. Human life is worth much more. Luke 12:6-7 (New International Version) 6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies[a]? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Because the unborn, unfeeling rock inside of a woman's stomach is equal to a living, breathing human who is currently alive and breathing.

first of all, rocks do not equal babies, if you're going to argue at least try and sound intelligent. second of all, the point of that comment was the same point as the post, it's the strawman's argument. afterall, animals < people.

It's not "her" child, it's also the father's. And it's also made in God's own image. It's as human as any other person walking around. You say we come from rocks? Both evolutionary, and whatever pregnancyary is completely illogical and untrue. You seem to think that the baby isn't alive. It is alive, after about 2 weeks, when you can first detect its presence.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I thought life began at conception, not detection. Pick one.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Ah you misunderstood. Before detection, but not at conception. It takes a few days before it is actually "alive," as in, aware of its surroundings, moving, etc. I just mean that it is made in God's image at conception, but it isn't alive until whenever.

The image of God refers to the immaterial part of man. It sets man apart from the animal world, fits him for the dominion God intended him to have over the earth (Genesis 1:28), and enables him to commune with his Maker. It is a likeness mentally, morally, and socially. Mentally, man was created as a rational, volitional agent. In other words, man can reason and man can choose. This is a reflection of God’s intellect and freedom. Anytime someone invents a machine, writes a book, paints a landscape, enjoys a symphony, calculates a sum, or names a pet, he or she is proclaiming the fact that we are made in God’s image. Morally, man was created in righteousness and perfect innocence, a reflection of God’s holiness. God saw all He had made (mankind included) and called it “very good” (Genesis 1:31). Our conscience or “moral compass” is a vestige of that original state. Whenever someone writes a law, recoils from evil, praises good behavior, or feels guilty, he is confirmi...

(scrantoncity):that we are made in God’s own image. Socially, man was created for fellowship. This reflects God's triune nature and His love. In Eden, man’s primary relationship was with God (Genesis 3:8 implies fellowship with God), and God made the first woman because “it is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18). Every time someone marries, makes a friend, hugs a child, or attends church, he is demonstrating the fact that we are made in the likeness of God. Part of being made in God’s image is that Adam had the capacity to make free choices. Although he was given a righteous nature, Adam made an evil choice to rebel against his Creator. In so doing, Adam marred the image of God within himself, and he passed that damaged likeness on to all his descendants (Romans 5:12). Today, we still bear the image of God (James 3:9), but we also bear the scars of sin. Mentally, morally, socially, and physically, we show the effects of sin.

ok, it may not be 'alive' but you still stop a developing life. Just pointing that out (I'm not sure if I am pro-life or pro-choice).

Frankly, I don't give two shits about God, so all of that is irrelevant to me. Sometimes the father agrees with it anyway. Even if he doesn't, it's still her final decision. She has to carry it to term, he doesn't.

And it's HIS baby too! It's HIS kid who has a life waiting for it. In most of the cases, the women got herself pregnant, as in it was her choice. The choice on ending a life should NOT rest on one person's shoulder, even if it is her kid. I'm not nessacarily pro-life, but all things have to be considered, the mother isn't the ONLY one.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Never said she was the only one. And, like you said, "In most of the cases, the women got herself pregnant, as in it was her choice." If that's the case, if she got herself into it, why shouldn't she be the one to get herself out of it? People are always quick to shift blame to the woman, (Eve brought Adam to sin), (It's a woman's fault if she gets pregnant), etc. Then if all this is true, give her the choice to do what she wants with her mistakes!

You'll care about God when you are stuck in eternal darkness for all eternity. I feel bad for all the people hellbound. Other dude: Image as in we were created to model him. If Adam and Eve hadn't eaten the fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, then we would be like him. Perfect, sinless. Just like Jesus was. But, now we are a race of moralless, sinful, bastards (literally), and we have damned ourselves to hell. (How about three "curse words" used literally in one sentence?)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They're only cursewords because prisses get afraid of them. Wait, bastards? Oh, fuck, bastards are damned to hell? What the fuck, how is that even the bastard's fault?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I said used literally, as in the correct sense of the word. The way I used them wasn't cursing in the least. Bitch isn't bad unless you apply it to a woman. Neither is bastard, nor damn. But use it as an expletive, yes I frown upon that.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That's totally not the point of what I just said. Are bastards damned to hell, or not?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Oh, I thought you were just cursing because you think it makes you cool. No, they aren't. People like you are, through disbelief in truth, but I said we are a race of bastards, in that we are conceived out of marriage. We damn ourselves through our sins.

I'll make sure to be afraid of being damned to hell when I'm rotting, k.

Oh, you'll be in hell long before you start rotting. The transition is instantaneous. You don't need to be afraid of living in a dead body. That is, if you die. The rapture is bound to happen soon, and before, or after, it, the tribulation starts. At the end of the seventh year, Christ will return, not as a humble slave, but as the mighty and righteous King He is.

Animal lives are not of the same worth as human lives. So no, you do not have to be vegetarian to be prolife. Simple as that.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Who are you to say that they aren't the same worth? Just because your precious holy book says otherwise doesn't make it true. Animals feel just as much pain as you do. They walk the same earth and give their life so some asshole can be selfish. Isn't that basically exactly what you pro-lifers bitch about? How their life is taken without their say?

The diagram is supposed to be read so that the 'top' shorter end of the 'cross' is at the left side of the page while the longer 'bottom' part is at the right. And the actual pictures of the cells look nothing like a cross. Unless crosses are squiggly and uneven all over :)

Pro-choice and damn well proud. But it does depend the situation. What if you got raped at a young age? You're not physically able to sustain a child so pro-choice. The outcome depends. Killing a baby and killing a person is not the same thing. A baby (fetus) has not experienced life outside of the mothers womb. An adult has.

That's like saying "If you don't believe in cannibalism, you should be vegitarian" Killing people is hugely different then killing animals. and the whole egg thing, they were never fertalized therfore never living.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Okay, this is my input: fetuses are technically humans. They have souls, according to the church. Killing them is different than killing animals. Animals don't have souls. And plus, from a catholic point of view, killing animals for food is okay, even for sport in moderation. They are not intelligent civilized beings like humans. And against the whole, "They aren't alive they are supported by the mother" is like saying its easy to kill people in the hospital because "they aren't alive, they can't live on their own!", and also, saying the mother has a right to control her body is like saying "I don't want to pay for stuff! I have the right to control my money!" It leads to the misfortune of other human beings and is just wrong.
