re: #80 Obdicut

That’s why I said “Do not tend”. And even so, Catholic pro-life protesters— like the ones who stood outside the women’s health clinic down the block from me every day in San Francisco— do not tend to protest fertility clinics. The policy may be the same, but the action is very largely concentrated towards abortion clinics— even though fertility clinics destroy far, far, far, far, far more embryos.

Since you don’t want your religious beliefs applied as policy, I’m not concerned with whether or not those beliefs are consistent or not. But you do have to realize that to someone who is not a believer, if you are stating that there is no harm to ‘soul’ of the embryo, there really doesn’t appear that you are stating there is any harm in the abortion itself, making the damning of those who choose to have an abortion seem rather unnecessary.

I frankly did not understand your train of thought thought there.

And really, I’m uninterested in getting into a discussion or argument of my beliefs, they are what they are and I’m not going to explain or justify to anyone. I was simply trying to respond to your earlier comment, where you seemed to think people thought the aborted embryoes were doomed. In my mind, they’re not.

The harm of abortion, in my view, comes from my belief that an embryo is a human life; and the taking of that life through abortion is wrong. Miscarriage occurs naturally, and we have no control over that. Abortions happen because someone decides to end the pregnancy.

The dooming or damnation doesn’t come from me.
That’s between God and the person who had the abortion.
