Typically after prayer. Although "Amen to that!" makes it's way into day-to-day conversation at times

I watched a bit of this, and one comment that stood out (where I stopped to post this...) is where she mentions "being rooted in morals and convictions" as if the morals and convictions one should hold are universal. It's the same type of black-and-white thinking that pro0mpted this thread. In...

And so are the mothers cheap to condemn and move on. But when you have to look them in the eye and help them process grief and trauma the true cost shows up. "cheap to kill" is a statement of the misinformed

Is God so powerless that He will not freely accept that child into His House? THAT is also horrendous

What I don't agree with is a label of anti-abortion merely for my pro-life views. In saying that, what I'm asking for is the "nuanced conversation" that the other side says it wants. This is the exact quote used by a pro-choice advocate while previously referring to people like me as...

And this comes back to the original point-the idea that being pro-life is anti_____. It's a subjective judgment. Pro-life advocates can still recognize, without condoning, the free choice granted to women to abort. And they can, AND SHOULD, support women, men, and families affected by any...

"Original meanings" are subjective, just as someone using the term "anti-abortion" to refer to me since I am pro-life is not correct. It's a subjective judgment Okay, I would agree with this. Here's where the trouble comes in. The assumption that a "blind eye" has been turned. Further, that...

No. I'm suggesting that the black-and-white thinking we bring to the debate needs closer examination

One who is pro-life, but provides birth control may be supporting what is called "harm reduction". Abstaining is one form of it; however, if a person holds back on providing birth control and education for a woman (or man) who has made it clear that sexual activity is something they are actively...

That's where I think the clarity needs to be. Being tagged as "anti" does suggest, to me, a bias or hate that isn't (necessarily) there

Just some clarity - the original question is in regards to one who is "Pro-Life" being "Anti-Abortion". Are they one and the same? Why or why not? *Disclaimer - the timing of this thread and the recent events in the State of Texas are coincidence only. I was not aware of, nor am I aware of now...

In the full context of the verse, how do you see this fitting? The one who does not "choose life" has served/is serving "the gods which (the) fathers served"? What of a person who is pro-life, but respects the dignity of a person's inherent right to choose?

My question, again. I know this is a "charged" topic

What might factor in to deciding what is 'best'? Might it be mom's health, health of the baby, socio-cultural issues? Can you clarify what you mean here? So, for those who might be 'pro-life', how do you view them? Are they (by default) anti-abortion, or do you see it differently?

Does being "pro-life" mean you are "anti-abortion" or "anti-choice"? Why, or why not? I'll give my two cents soon

We don't know this. The peoples of the "world" weren't scattered until the Tower of Babel event, AFTER the flood. Might this speak to a regional event? Just to clarify-I don't take a position of worldwide or regional. Transformation happened at the Crucifixion.

Literal occurrence in history. Whether the flood was worldwide or regional is something I wonder about but I don't question the overall account. I also tend to believe the account as there are a number of flood 'narratives' in different cultures, First Nations in particular

Hey Josiah! Hope you're well 🙂 I find it interesting that science didn't inform your vote one way or the other. It would seem that scientific knowledge, as it may (or may not) inform our faith would be a factor. It may only be a non-binding resolution, but a resolution nonetheless that speaks to...

The only one I recall that wasn't allowed was "One Flew Over the Cuckoos' Nest". I guess I was nine at the time. I saw it first as a teenager. My parents were fairly Liberal as far as movies were concerned. We watched a lot of Saturday afternoon movies - lots of Peter Sellers and such. It helped...
