Well, in reviewing journals I've learned a infant's heart begins functioning at 5 weeks, so technically, they're in the process of becoming a human-being prior the 5 weeks.


It's the woman's right to bear a child with her husband, and no rapist should infringe that right! For this reason I find an exception with abortion.


Ferd, from my understanding you're a father? Lets pretend your daughter was 21, and she's 2 months from wedding her husband. You then found out she was raped and became pregnant.

Should she keep this child?

I can see I need to get this thread back on track.
Taco bell does not resemble at all the corn tortillas I speak of. We bake them not fry, and they are warm, doughy, with a hint of lime. So amazing filled with grilled steak, chicken, or pork. Throw in some fresh salsa, hot salsa, lime juice, onions, a little cilantro, and
BAM
you have a wonderful GOD GIVEN delight!!!

That's because God gave us the intelligence to know that meat needs to be cooked. We don't eat it raw or rip it off the body of the animal we are eating. Plus, we have the use of our hands. That's why we don't have teeth like an animal.

Sometimes I wonder if people actually think about what they are posting before they post it.

I am a father. I prefer not to pretend as you suggest.

It certainly is a horrible horrible thing to be faced with isnt it?

the heart actaully begins to beat around day 20 first a clear liquid then within about a day, actual blood cells...

I cant even begin to imagine the horror that a lady is faced with in such a situation. but are we saying that abortion should be about the emotional impact to the mother?

I dont know that I can simply say I disagree with that. but if we are going to say that abortion is wrong because the child is innocent, it poses a problem for that particular exception doesnt it?

what about a 14 year old that comes from a broken home with no saftynet who got drunk and ended up doing something she should not have done? do we make an exception for that?

abortion is a terribly complicated thing.

Never tried them that way, Bro. The only ones I have tried are the Taco Bell variety and the ones like Taco Bell's you can get at the grocery store. What you are describing sounds pretty good.

Legally that could be rape since she cannot consent if she is drunk.
