So, it's OK to abort a child?

Yes, Sheila. People have abortions.

So when is it OK not to take a life. Should a person be allowed to kill
a child when it's a week old, maybe an hour old, where do you draw the
line?

If you are going to quote me, quote me correctly. Don't pick and choose your
fear and freaky based ideas out of what I say. Here is the direct quote:


************************************************** **************************************

"Yes, Sheila. People have abortions. That's their karma, not yours. Mind how
your own life is going and don't have an abortion if it goes against your
principles, but don't slide down the slippery slope of putting religious faith
or mix up your emotions with others' emotions.

Personally, I am not pro-abortion. I'm pro-choice. I would not now choose to
have one, but that's easy for me to say having had a complete hysterectomy.
However, I have my right to choose and have had that since I was about 15 years
old. Aren't there any more important issues in the world to direct so much
energy toward?

Why not do fundraiser's for kids in the United States who have nothing to eat
tonight. Did you know in the Ozark Mountains there are children who live
without running water or electricity? Have you ever been to a really poor
community? Maybe the effort you put in to help keep these kids alive is
misguided. Maybe you can go out and raise some money to help support these born
children, who are actually going to repeat the same thing their mothers did.
Have more babies who will have nothing...the beat goes on. Maybe your church
should take some of that money and instead of buying a bigger organ, can donate
it to these families who are so far out in the bush they don't know there IS a
welfare system. Yeah, it exists in America, believe it or not."

I will say one thing for you, you are consistently avoiding any confrontation
and you are consistently ignorant of the fact that it is not up to YOU.
Abortion is legal in the United States, and it is up to the person having the
abortion. I am not the one who gets to decide when a life is a life. I have my
beliefs and they are way different than yours, but I would never tell another
what to do. They will have to live their life as they see fit. It's none of
your business. And the line is drawn, in this case, where the law allows.
Abortion is legal, case closed. Killing a child is illegal. Next question.
