I still don't see the issue of "multiple subject matter" or how that leads to, "shows clearly the adverse effects of control and manipulation." I draw in whatever resources I can, but quite frankly, I also tend to wander a bit. If it's any consolation, I try to always use a spell-checker! By this post alone, the reader would have had to follow the entire thread with notes and nicknames to even understand it content. By my count it has references of 5 posts. Wandering is best for a summers eve walk with an old friend, in my opinion. Perhaps there may be other avenues for the intwined to persue, perhaps not. One thing is for sure, you rapped it all up in the last sentance. Seems to be a epidemic of perfection in an imperfect world. Continue on faithful one, fight the fight, light the torch and crusade your hind end till it drops. For abortion will be a mere blip on the screen of history.

Let's be clear, this issue is not about protecting life, that is just good propaganda and advertising. For conservative xtians it is about control, controlling women and removing their equal rights under law. Every xtian group against abortion is also lobbying hard against ALL birth control. They want women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. If they cared about "life" they would be pro free health care and anti war, they are not. For the wealthy corporate elite this is a convenient wedge issue. It keeps the working masses divided and distracted as they wage economic class warfare against them. So your wages and standard of living continue to decline but you are to busy worrying about this non issue to notice and grab a gun and start killing ceo's like you should be.

If a million lives a year is a "non issue" I wonder what it would take to be a a real issue? I'm not sure what issue could be more important than this one unless you are comfortable with dimissing the unborn as medical waste. I'll keep fighting and leave the corporate conspiracy theories to people like you.

Faithful wrote: <quoted text> I wanted to answer this more clearly; here is some of what the Bible says about that. You will find nothing to support your assertion that the ability to think and to reason is what defines mankind. It is the likeness and relationship to God that defines mankind. One could argue by extension that in being separated from God (by a state of sin), a man or woman loses a significant part of their identity, and becomes closer to the beasts. 26 Then God said,“Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all[a] the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:26-27, NKJV) 4 What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? 5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, 7 All sheep and oxen— Even the beasts of the field, 8 The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas. (Psalm 8:4-8, NKJV) Faithful: You got to understand that these people will use anything from It's my body and an abused relationship. They increase the means of the problem over the respect of human life. They deny that this is true murder by killing a baby inside the womb, which is just as severe as killing a child at the age of one or two years old. Please don't feel discouraged because they will find out at the end why abortion is murder.

Talk, theory, and suppositions are one thing. Clumps of cells,am embryo, "just" a fetus, or a human being in its first stages of development - these are varied perspectives of the very same issue. The debate is about whether or not it is morally acceptable to cause the life process to suddenly cease. To take the discussion beyond the realm of words and opinions, let's go one step further and take a hard look at what we are really talking about. http://www.nrlc.org/abortion/pba/DEabortiongr... http://www.silentscream.org/video1.htm Take a hard look and tell me again it is all about a woman's rights and control of HER body. Life is life, a human being is a human being, and taking the life of a helpless, dependent human being is a despicable act of brutality which results in death.
