You would let your child be murdered?
It's a sad hypothetical...ugly in fact.

I am not saying which life has more value. I dont know how you can.

Sadly sometimes war is necessary. I just hope we can make it as rare as possible.

You advocate for it more than anyone I've ever encountered on a message board.

That is a very different statement than your previous one. At least it helps me understand your prior opinion. I appreciate the clarification.

You're welcome. Sorry for any confusion.

You value the healthy and safety of an actual living thing rather than the health and safety of a potential living thing.

Logic isn't hard.

Logic isn't hard.

We disagree on how you are applying the definition of living as it relates to life.

We sure do. Mine is rooted in reality; yours is rooted in some fiction book that people made up centuries ago so was and is now still extracting monetary value and influence over delusional people.

I'll take the former any day of the week but that's just me.

No...I think you're mistake with regards to the basis of our disagreement. I'm sensing you believe mine comes from a biblical definition. If that's the case your assumptions are leading you incorrectly as you evaluate my position.

I would be heartbroken either way to be quite honest, and while it would kill me inside to have to do it, yes, my wife's life would be more "important" to me at that time than the baby. I guess it also depends on how far along. If the pregnancy was 9 months along my wife and I would have a serious discussion, and knowing her SHE would choose to take the risk. If it was just say 5 weeks along we probably would have a much easier "discussion".

My 'human' beliefs as a husband I guess would overshadow my Christian beliefs that all innocent life is precious. I am not saying I am "right", I am saying that's how I believe I would feel.

What's weird, and I honestly can't explain why, once you, as a parent, have met/partially raised that child it is backwards. I would gladly give up my life for my child's and so would my wife if it came down to it.

That's a very understandable view jmog.

Good points; I concur.

This is a rational response and would be similar to my beliefs as well.

Well it sure as shit doesn't come from science or logic.

Does it really matter where else it comes from?

That's great. But you do not have the right to make that choice for other women who may think differently than you.

My stance is quite simple; don't like abortion? Don't have one.

It doesn't matter to me where the foundation is established from but you incorrectly assuming you know what the foundation of my position is was worth clarifying to me.

....

I don't think anyone has stated they have such a right. This discussion stems from a poster asking if anyone had a certain belief/opinion.

I tend to agree with that. I also support that people have the right to have an abortion if they choose because our laws permit them to.

Good. That isn't changing ever so glad you have realized this and accept a woman's right to choose will never go away.

I'm not suggesting you do need to know. I only corrected your incorrect assumption. That was for me, not you.

I've never implied anything different.

No my assumption is correct. Your foundation of women should be killed so her baby can be born without a mother is not rooted in science or reality.

Such Jesus.

I can with certainty* say your post is not my position what-so-ever and that my opinion on the question originally asked was not Biblically based.
