Abortion -A Woman's right to choose or Ungodly?
57CHOICE AND FREE WILL
Faith is something that comes from the heart. What one believes in becomes a personal choice. The human spirit is given free will. Ultimately, that free will determines the course of your belief system. Judge not or be not judged. WE all have to live with the choices we make, the courses we take in life, the path's we choose to follow. At the end we are accountable - I like to think. SO.....when speaking about anything even the touchy subject of abortion, I believe it becomes a very personal choice. Perhaps it is a choice you may not make, but unless we are all completely unflawed, who is anyone (human) to tell another (human) that they are "sinning"?
What is Worst Ending a Pregnancy or Neglecting or Abusing a Child?
There are children that are neglected, abused and even murdered, when ill-equipped people bring them into the world. Do we all think that that is a lessor sin than preventing that situation to begin with? I know this is a touchy subject and has been for many - many years. I personally do not think I could ever end a pregnancy but I would never, ever pass judgement on someone who has. Just like spiritual belief's and political affiliation; it is a very personal choice. We were given free will for a reason, to choose-what we believe in, how we dress, everything!

I believe in order to believe that you must choose to believe. I could not judge anyone who chooses to have an abortion. I personally do not feel it is an option for me, this is my belief. But I also feel that passing "judgement" is wrong. Hate the sin, love the sinner. Who are we to judge? I feel that the anti-abortion extremists can be "ungodly" as well. If you have the faith of a higher power and choose abortion, than who is anyone to go judge that decision? That is what I am saying.

My comment:
If God , or higher power-- your choice-- FORCEDus to follow his laws with no choice, how couldd we ever choose the right thing? There is great satisfaction in doing the "right thing" when we have a choice-- but none when we are forced.
Does a loving parent force us to do right? Yes, sometimes, but we really learn more by being given the choice to do right. We also please our parent more when we do right out of love and respect for our parent, rather than by coercion. I think a loving God teaches us and gives us a choice.
The idea of a "woman's right to choose" what to do with her body almost NEVER implies that she (usually) has a right to "choose" to not have sex.
I don't know of many people who say they are pro-abortion. In extreme circumstances it may be the only choice. If it is a sin, sinners can seek forgiveness. The greater sin may be that government took the choice away from people and their physicians and their spiritual advisors and made it into a law which has no soul at all.
which law are you speaking of?
The law that makes it legal for women to have an abortion-- and the law that made it illegal.
As I said, it should be a personal, medical and moral choice-- not a legal one.
I would assume then that the law, in either case, would fall under legislating morality?
Can you legislate morality? Morality refers to the concept of human ethics which pertains to matters of right and wrong -- also referred to as "good and evil" -- used within three contexts: individual conscience; systems of principles and judgments -- sometimes called moral values --shared within a cultural, religious ...
lagality exist to govern morality not the otherway around
