The Abortion Issue Part 2

Now to the second of a three part posting on the abortion issue. Part one established that there are several beliefs as to when life begins based on religion & science. Now let's examine some related definitions.

Born/Birth: "the emergence of a new individual from the body of its parent".
Birthday: " the day of a person's birth".
Creating: "to bring into existence".
Life: "the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body".
Pregnant: "containing a developing embryo, fetus, or unborn offspring within the body".

Now if we are alive at conception, then there should be no process for creating. Therefore the approximate nine months to produce a being should not exist. It does however exist and creating a new being is a process that ends when that being is born or dies somehow during that process. We emerge as a new individual only at the point when we are officially born. Religions such as Catholic which is the one I am familiar with believes we are alive upon conception. This belief is not derived from the word of God, nor is it written in the bible.

Religions have rewritten their laws throughout history in order to maintain their followers. At one time in Europe, it was a sin and you would got to hell if you didn't pay your taxes for the church was the government at the time. They did not have a civil society so they used sins as a way to govern people. I have concluded that life really does not begin until one is born and until you are born, you are in a creative process, not a living being.

This explains why it is not a crime to have an abortion by law. You of course may not agree with this based on your faith, but the Catholic religion once preached the world was flat and you were a sinner if you thought otherwise.

Everyone has a right to believe what they want but they don't have a right to impose their beliefs on others. This is were our laws come in. This is what keeps our society intact; laws. We should all repect each other and avoid imposing views on others. This is truly the Christian way of life. This you will find in the bible.
