No secret, I think, that I am very pro-life, anti-abortion, whatever label anybody wants to call it -

But these Army of God people seem to have confused themselves with God.

A lot of energy these folks are spending could be put to much better use, imo, in supporting and promoting actual programs and activities that would help people in need in a way that would allow them to make a different “choice”.

Just my .02.

Reine:

I’ve been trying to find, over several years, if there can be some common ground between the pro-life and pro-choice contingents. Then I found this:

In the late 1967, the first heart transplant took place in South Africa. As the procedure was refined, it became apparent that it could extend human life for years if not decades. Later on, it became clear that it *could* extend life for decades.

But it begged the question, because it needed live donors: What is the definition of human death while a heart is still beating? Medical philosophers and doctors discussed the issue and came up with a workable definition- no higher cerebral function, no human life.

If this is a workable definition of human death, why can’t it be a workable definition of human life? No forebrain, no human.
