I thought we were clear on this. Both women and fetuses have no rights.
Since the debate is rapidly moving towards the stupid.

Except you didn't explain why, and you seem not to care to.

Are you willing, then, to toss aside a woman's natural rights to her own body?

Don't play dumb, you annoying pest. wink


I'm dead serious, I don't know what you refer to.

Lux-Christi
Since when do I care about either? confused


You didn't. And you don't have to. However, they'll both be against you in this case, regardless of your measure of apathy.

But alas, I am the Iron Man, and my opinion supercedes all others. 3nodding


Ah, so that explains Tony Stark's rampant insanity. Suddenly, it all makes sense.

Er...the Catholic Church. confused

All right. And the second part?

What about the second part? I don't care about the Bible or the American law in this respect, and me being the Iron Man really is irrelevent to the debate. question

The second part was where you show me where the Catholic Church says so, of course.

My apologies, but I believe the language of our current debate was english, not latin. That point aside:

The church does not say such things. In fact, I'm almost certain that any sort of mainstream (read: not radical) religious sect has no sort of official stance on abortion at all.

And tell me, would anyone have a right to hook you up to a dialysis machine and force you to stay within arms reach of them for nine months so that they may survive?

So, you're claiming that what you're preaching is based in the beliefs of the Catholic Church, yet not the Bible has no place in this debate. So, what, you're basing everything on the Catechism? I'd assume so, since Catholicism is based equally in the Bible and in Holy Tradition.

Oh. Wait. The Catechism is based mainly on the Bible and interpretations of said book.

So, um, clarification, please?

Actually, sorry, Alex, the Catholic Church does directly condemn abortion.

From the Catholic Catechism, #470:
"The fifth commandment forbids as gravely contrary to the moral law: ...

direct abortion, willed as an end or as means, as well as cooperation in it. Attached to this sin is the penalty of excommunication because, from the moment of his or her conception, the human being must be absolutely respected and protected in his integrity;"

Oh snap, an actual response. You know EvWeEv, I wasn't expecting someone to respond with anything reasonable. Do you support this view, or are you against it? Because I rather like to argue it.

Thanks, that's what I was asking Barraketh.

All right. Now I know where he's coming from. Now as to the justification of a Krystallnacht?

Sorry, kid. I'm a good Catholic girl. I'm against abortion. FOR ME. And for other followers of my religion.

I will personally never have an abortion (well, there's one circumstance: Where both I and the baby will die if I carry it to fullterm. Then I would -- MAYBE. That's the only circumstance I can think of, though.) and I will always most likely advise others to not have one.

But! I don't believe in imposing my religious beliefs on others, so I'm pro-choice. I just hope/pray/etc, in a non-imposing manner, that other's CHOOSE to not have abortions.

Excellent! I was hoping that's how you respond. So, can you tell me why it would be wrong to have an abortion? Do you honestly believe that an entity is human from the moment it is concieved? For that matter, what does make you forgo your rights to your body that you would act in such a manner?

Or is it simply your faith which say so? That is, I might add, an answer I respect and will not attack, because I believe as you do, that imposing beliefs on others is not wanted or appreciated, nor is it moral. I do, however, fail to understand what makes it a child so early that it cannot even be detected yet?
