Promiscuity: The real reason for Roe...

[seer]

You've stolen their agency and the use of their bodies for 9 months, and then you start a thread on how it's all about 'promiscuity' and all the equally minging posters chime in. You're a pig.

Thank for sharing, now leave my thread, oink, oink ...

The quantitative survey shows the questions, tabulates the responses, and breaks those down.

Did I miss the bit where the survey canvasses the attitudes of the women prior to their pregnancy?


On what evidence from the survey do you make that observation? [/QUOTE]

Simple assessment of what happens in the world. Many congregation members commit themselves to Christian principles, many do not. Scant few women who do commit to Christian principles find themselves in a position to decide whether an abortion is advisable for their own "benefit."

Is this heading towards the assumption that no "true" Christian woman would have an abortion?

I had a really good response to him, but you kicked him out.

And your observation is borne out by the survey, where it is apparent that for some of those Christian women, the issues surrounding those campaigns were set aside when their personal situations required them to avail themselves of a legal abortion.

So, your argument is what? That Christian women, when facing a terrible crisis, may be prone to seeking a permanent solution to a temporary problem?
Is that it?
Do you have idea how many "evangelical Christians" are on death row for capital murder, or serving life sentences for murder?

Just because somebody identifies on a survey as being "a Christian" or even an "Evangelical Christian" doesn't mean they aren't still human, and subject to making bad, or even horrible, choices.

I don't know. Is that where you want it to go?

You tell us! You're the one who keeps pointing to "the survey" without telling what it is you conclude.

Come, on --- try really hard --- some cogent summary, please?

I do not condemn any woman for having an abortion. I leave that behaviour to others.

However, the survey clearly shows that of the women surveyed a large percentage identified as Christian and they availed themselves of a legal right that many of their fellow Christians were campaigning to remove.

No, you're much more well known for defending debauchery, exhibitionism, and perverse behavior, including in front of children.

OK, we've made a little progress.... so now let's see if you can actually turn that into some kind of point.

Let's try this again

Does the fact that, in spite of Churches having long campaigned against suicide, including offering counselling etc., many Christians still commit suicide also amuse you?

Why or why not?

When I lived in Huntsville, we did prison ministry at "The Walls Unit" - where the executions take place. Just about every convict I counseled with, including those on Death Row, had two things in common....

A) They were absolutely innocent, and had been framed*
2) They claimed to be Christian or Evangelical Christian.

The Church should stop saying crime and murder is wrong because of that.


*the most notable was the guy who was a barber in the prison barber shop where I got my haircut. One day, while he was shaving me (with the obligatory strait razor) I asked him, "So, what are you in here for".
He paused a minute, gave me a cold hard stare, and slowly drawled, "I kilt my wife and kids wid a razor knife".
