Humans can't kill because we're equal.

However, God is in charge. He can take life and create life as he pleases.

Our souls do not die. They separate from the bodies at death. It doesn't mean God destroys the soul, the essence of the person. It means they go on to a different existence.

First I'm writing like I'm more Catholic than the pope-- and presumably more gung ho to get rid of sexual abuse. Then you denounce priests who give each other absolution, i.e. give each other cheap grace.

Yeah that makes a whole lot of sense.

If priests were more Catholic than the pope, we wouldn't be in this mess.

No, I don't watch The View. I just saw this article.

Sorry it took so long for your comments to get through. They ended up in the spam pile and I only just noticed.

I'd like a link to your stats, last.

Abortions stats are sometimes unreliable.

The clinic is named: The Orlando Women's Center.

If you look up the Orlando Women's Center website, you'll notice that they advertize pill abortions (and 3 minute abortions). So 100 abortions a week sounds plausible. It's possible that pill abortions are not counted.

Also, he might also be referring to recourse to emergency contraception which can cause an abortion.

It could be that the pill abortions are not counted.

Another possibility: late-term abortions aren't counted as abortions, but as "stillbirths". This is routinely done in Canada.

The narrator says the abortion clinic is located a mile from the Bible study-- not necessarily from the Church.

But don't try to reconcile the story or anything.

Sometimes two people with divergent viewpoints can agree on *some* facts.

Not in formal investigations.

It would be an extraordinarily difficult rescue with little hope of success. At 28 weeks, babies need lots of medical attention, and even if you managed to get the baby before the abortionist had a chance to kill him, the baby might not survive the trip to the hospital. You also don't know the gestational ages of the babies before the women go in. So yes, once in a blue moon, there might be a 28 week baby, but it's probably mostly 20- or 22- week babies, who have relatively little chance of survival.

And besides, I think such an effort would set back the political fight to establish fetal rights.

OK, so if it's purely genetics, I'd like to know how much divergence from your or my genome exactly is acceptable for an organism to still be considered human being/person? 1%? 3%? 5, 10, 15%?

I don't know. It's hypothetical. An organism that is the product of one male and one female human gamete is a human being. Since other configurations are hypothetical we don't have to deal with it right now.

The problem with your definition is that it denies the intrinsic worth of human beings, which is the basis of human rights. It's also the basis of any moral code.

The law is wrong and it has no right to exclude human beings from their definition of human being.

Just because the law does not believe they aren't human beings doesn't mean it is correct.
