Subject: Re: A query about Liberal Christian's opinions Author: Edward [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:30:15 05/11/04 Tue In reply to: XOX 's message, "Re: A query about Liberal Christian's opinions" on 18:20:37 05/11/04 Tue >//I don't mean that I have more right than the women >to design the fate of their pregancies.// > >OK. > >//What I concern is the life of the baby. // > >Wrong again. There is no baby. Don't confuse actual >life (born baby) and potential life (embryo that may >or may not be born). > By the way, how do you define what is a baby? if a fortus develop to a stage that it already have all the organs and heart beats, do you still consider it as "potential life"? do you still think that mother have right to decide whether it can be aborted or not? I think on one hand we respect the woman's right on her own pregancies. On the other hand, we do not clearly define when a "potential life" become a full life that deserve the basic human right to live and to be protected by laws. I think we have a different focus. Your focus is on how to protect the mother's right to keep or terminate her pregnancies. My focus is on how this right won't be abused, especially for developed fortus. >//It is not only the a part of the women but the body >of a new life.// > >It is a part of a woman body.
