I can think of many circumstances where it is very right to kill; defending yourself, defending your loved ones, defending your country,I am pretty sure evn the ten commandments allow that, by extension putting proven criminal to death is defending all those.
However I thought there was a separation of church and state in the USA, boy I guess the ACLU is going to be pissed when it finds out about all those laws against murder etc.
You see there are many atheists who are also against abortion, this is a purely scientific debate which happens to be supported by many religious people.
Is a fetus human that is the quesiton? And the answer is a resounding YES. Thus this is a human rights issue not a religious issue, though one can debate that we obtain human rights from the 'divine'.
So basicly all these people supporting the murder of the unborn are doing so ignoring the personhood of that unborn child, despite increasing scientific evidence to the contray.
And for what? Convenience, not rape not incest but just plain selfishness:
In a study conducted by the pro-abortion Alan Guttmacher Institute, entitled “Why Women Have Abortions,” women were asked to give specific reasons why they had an abortion. The top three answers were: 1. Unready for responsibility 2. Can't afford baby now 3. Concern about how having a baby would change her life. The three reasons, which came in last place and were tied at 1 percent included: 1. Was a victim of rape or incest 2. Husband or partner wanted the abortion 3. Didn't want others to know she has had sex or is pregnant. Studies and statistics consistently show that pregnancies due to rape and incest are rare. According to Guttmacher that 1% due to rape and incest is 14,000 babies per year. Therefore, abortion is not mainly used as a last resort.
