With all of the Roe v Wade hullabaloo, what I believe to be a pernicious superstition is rearing it's head. Namely that conceived human lives are in some way qualitatively lacking such that they cannot be called humans.
As I haven't gotten it so far, just steadfast denial that the clear and present definitions apply, I am seeking scientific, empirical evidence or support for that belief. It appears to fly in the face of all science I have ever read on the topic of human life and its beginning for each individual, such that I chalk it up with flat-earth and vaccine conspiracy, or maybe Jew space lasers.
I'll start with a quote from an embryology textbook:
"A zygote is the beginning of a new human being" - The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology. 7th edition.
There are so many sides. Seems no one wants to consider any side but their own.
We are all Spiritual beings in our true natures. We are all eternal. Nothing on Earth can change that. We are installed in our physical bodies after birth when long term memories start to become possible. God has everything figured out so far ahead of everyone, nothing is going to bother God..
Does this mean I am for abortion? No, I am not. Today, it's easy not to ever need an abortion. There is a being responsible issue involved. There are many lessons to learn around being responsible in so many areas of life.
Does this mean people who have abortions should be put in jail and throw the key away? This too seems a bit harsh especially when one is not installed in a physical body until after birth.
Does anger, hate, and trying to control and force others accomplish anything?? It seems everything just goes round and round.
Any ideas?? I think the one where they buy free ultrasounds so the expecting mother can see the baby is a very good idea. How many babies are being saved this way? Quite a few, I bet!!
Is religion really doing all they can? Many religions have lots of money. I do not see any of them offering the expecting mother money to have the baby instead. How many babies could be saved this way??
So much is said about saving a life yet is the money churches hold more valuable than that life? Yes, choices are being made on all sides.
If we widen our views beyond we against they, the us can bring so much better results.
Our choices show God what we know and what we need to learn. These choices will return in time to teach us what our choices really mean. One should think twice then act rather than simply react to things. Ask yourself. Is this really what I want returning??
As for God, do not worry about God. God has ways far beyond what anyone could imagine. If God wants a certain physical baby to make it. There will be a way that it will happen.
That's what I see. It's very clear!!
