RE: Is "Pro-Life" an Accurate Label?
this abortion survivor sure has a lot to say about the topic:
when you aggress against that developing person it does constitute an act of aggression and murder because you are ending a life purposefully and yes it would have become a life had you not aggressed against it. that is its natural process.
this abortion survivors choice was NOT respected that day... funny how they always say my body my choice.. there are 2 bodies and therefore 2 choices that deserve respect. Life starts at conception. Even a doctor is charged if he harms the fetus in those early stages, he is charged as if it were recognized as a life. So we can't cherry pick when we want to recognize it and when we don't.
Thank you for sharing your views. To be clear. I know abortion survivors. To use their personal stories is an appeal to emotion, not reason or logic. That said, in this example (a late term abortion), I would agree it is closer to murdering a fully-functioning human being. Also, this video seems to be more about this person's religious views (views I strongly held for most of my life, even working in full time ministry for 6 years), than about specific arguments of when life begins.
You say "you are ending a life purposefully" but also say "it would have become a life." There is a difference, right? Is two cells dividing into four a full "life"?
This is your strongly held belief, correct? Can you help me understand it? Can you point me to something which is falsifiable that I could look to and by doing so come into agreement with you?
That's a very good point. If the woman expected to have a child and the doctor deprived her of that future potential life, then that's a serious aggression against the wishes of the future mother. I'm not sure it's about cherry picking as much as it's about respecting the intent of individuals.
Thanks again for sharing your views.
