Original sin is forgiven through baptism. I see nothing to chew on?

The Constitution doesn't require baptism to be excused from the sins of the father.

Over 50% of fertilized eggs fail to implant naturally.

Thanks. I just tried reading through all the posts but didn't find your post - could have missed it. What is the percentage that doesn't implant after taking the morning after pill?

Yep. You are correct. There is a difference between our constitution / country and salvation. Not all will be called to salvation. Hopefully, you will be one of those called for salvation. If not, I'm sorry.

I think close to 90%.

Okay. I'll concede the morning after pill is birth control 90% of the time based on your research. I retract my statement about including this pill as a part of my statement regarding making abortions illegal. Thanks for the information.

Cool. What does it add to this discussion? Or is the assignment to read it first, then we'll discuss?

Does Israel pay for the abortions?

Woody

Yes they do and they can be for nonmedical reasons such as premarital sex see post #32. Israel also does many late term abortions.

Morning after advocates use some semantics in regard to conception. Does conception happen at fertilization or implantation? Their definition is implantation not fertilization. Not everyone agrees on that definition.

Justifying abortion by pointing out the issues with unwanted children is weak. There are unwanted old people with dimensia, etc. At what point do we justify killing them off because of the fact they are an unwanted burden that nobody knows how to deal with? If you are going to make a case for abortion, you should stick to the argument that a fetus is not a person. That is more humane than the argument that they are unwanted and should therefore be eliminated.

There are no full proof solutions to the issue of unwanted pregnancies other than personal accountability. Obviously those who are raped or victims of incest were not irresponsible and I am not speaking about them. We just have this attitude in our country now that no one should be accountable for anything from bad decisions about money, personal habits, sex, etc. I think the one thing that people on both sides of the abortion issue can agree on is that more people should be accountable/educated prior to having sex. How we make that happen is still a mystery to me but it is a major issue in our state for sure.

Yes, what's different with unwanted pregnancies now as opposed to the past? The accountability and negatives have largely been removed(from the female) and in many cases unwanted pregnancy can be a good pay off or bring attention. We let emotions overpower us seeing any baby as a holy blessed event and nothing else matters. And while nobody wants to see children suffer maybe we need to find some way to take care of the children but not let the mother benefit from tax dollars or have everything she would have if she hadn't gotten pregnant and unwanted pregnancies would go down.
