Abortion debate.

[qfnol31]

Not sure, they can't go back that far.

[Brother Adam]

All that is, has ever been, and will ever be comes from God.

[qfnol31]

Hmm...

[Brother Adam]

Can we know anything about this God?

The answer is yes we can, through revelation. God has revealed much about himself that we can read both in the Holy Scriptures and learn through the Tradition of the Catholic Church. The teaching of the Church states that life begins at conception when soul is united to the body. Therefore abortion is the intentional taking of a life. It is murder.

[qfnol31]

What about for a non-Catholic perspective on this...

[Brother Adam]

You'd have to go athiest to beat that argument.

[DancesforLove]

Abortion is wrong in all cases except certain medical cases (the church concurs)

[qfnol31]

Actually, the Church says none whatsoever, but a [url="http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_g2601/is_0012/ai_2601001212"]Salpingectomy[/url] is okay.

I win.

[qfnol31]

You haven't proven your point.

You didn't persue it.

[qfnol31]

I can't until you prove your premises.

[Brother Adam]

You didn't ask me to.

[qfnol31]

From this point on everyone must prove their premises.

Because we share in part of the Imago Dei.

Im 95% against abortion, except when the mothers life in danger, then it becomes a neccessary evil. Ive heard of other circumstances where abortion is ethical, but havent really studied much into it.
