Thanks, I knew that I could not be the ONLY one who figured something was wrong in that situation. As far as the "age of viablity" issue. Well for me there is no age. I am, obviously Pro-Life, and to that end it seems a pretty nasty double standard that if a woman chooses an abortion (killing) of her child, it is ok. But if someone else chooses the death, inadvertant or not, of the child, it is all of a sudden murder. No where in this situation doe

Thanks, assuming that is you are referring to me. Thats just the way I view it. We are all entitled to our own opinions but I just feel that in this case its a "common sense" type opinion.

lol MythicalMino; I guess in some muslim's view, Islam ( a religion which advocates peace more or less) is all for beheading innocents, killing thier own muslim brothers and sisters in terrorist acts. Yeah, those brave freedom fighters....ohh wait the vast majority of the insurgents currently fighting in Iraq are foreigen fighters lol. I tell you, that is one of the best sarcastic posts that really hits the head of the matter. You are right, these peop

I don't think such matters should ever be a subject that causes more division and disunity. I agree with you, Christ demanded ONE Church ONE people, now I would argue that ALL Christians are a part of Christ's Church but as it is said " a house divided must fall" As for the Image of Christ suf

Ok, I do disagree with that morality, actually I would call it immoral but, for better or worse, I agree that it is indeed the disticntion. But it really is premedetatied murder vs........well premedatited murder dont you think? Wether you chose to kill or not, unless its in self defense, its some type of murder.

I find it quite interesting that Scott Peterson was convicted of 2nd degree murder of his unborn child Connor. Thats what abortion is, the death of an unborn child. Is the difference that its mother didnt chose to kill the child and so there for it was murder. If so, then it is a logical conclusion that if Scott Peterson is guilty of the murder of his unborn child

Excuse me for my absence, for some reason I was unable to post or reply for a week or so. To continue; Christmas Candles Light, especially in its natural form, a flame, has always been an intergral part of pretty much every religion the world has seen. There is something mystical and special about a flame. The Christmas candle is an ancient tradition symbolizing the light of Christ in His defeat of darkness. The light s

Now on to the topic of Catholic customs and Traditions. Information provided by "Cathoic customs and traditions" by Greg Dues. First of all they are Subject to change. Because religious traditions are a human dimension of faith, they are subject to change. Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes dramatic and they tend to happen during a broad uphheaval in society. In the 1960s there was a profound change

Once there was a king. A great king in a great land. A warrior, a poet, a scholar, an artist, a musician. This ruler was a jack of all trades. This grand king collected weaons of purest gold and silver, set with gems and precious stones. This grand king collected ancient scrolls of poetry, and ancient gold-leafed texts. This grand king collected masterpieces of paint and stone. This grand king wanted only that which was grandest of all. Treasur

Hi. I've always been interested in riddles. I think it helps one (me) to excercise my mind and to try and think "out of the box". My neurologist said it might be helpful if I tried to learn riddles as it may help to stimulate parts of my mind that are damaged right now. So I figured why not. So, quite simply im asking for riddles and if for some reason its not

lol, yes the rumors are true. Hopeing its gonna be a girl for once! It seems the abortion issue initaited by kingbee is just about wrapping up. We could, of course go on and on about who said this or that, but the question primarily was about scientific evidence, which I partly responded to and also the faith part of it which is just as essential, if not more. I will continue to address this issue as the need arises but, in the absence of

Well the quote : 2271: Since the first century the Church has affirmed themoral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law: was taken, word for word,
