@JeffNashKS@Davidc2722@AVGirl4Life No. The US government is comprised of people who are made up of our society. I never said that power does not corrupt or that those positions don’t affect people who are hungry for power. I also never said that other national political entities don’t influence our own.
@JeffNashKS@Davidc2722@AVGirl4Life Two days ago, you said, “Society gets to draw the line.” Isn’t the State made up of Society? Since you said yourself that society gets to draw the line, by your own “logic” and WORDS, it has the authority to dole out punishment for crimes. Stop contradicting yourself, Jeff.
@JeffNashKS@Davidc2722@AVGirl4Life Vigilantism is not the same as a State meting out justice, Jeff. One cannot go around executing another person because the vigilante felt wronged.
America’s founders were heavily influenced by Christian doctrine. Therefore US laws are as well.
@JeffNashKS@Davidc2722@AVGirl4Life Because we have laws here in the US that are mirrored after the 10 commandments. The sixth commandment, "Thou shalt not kill" (found in Exodus 20:13), is a foundational commitment to respect and protect human life.
@JeffNashKS@Davidc2722@AVGirl4Life Is that what I said? Go back and re-read my tweet and show me where I said it’s OK for the State to kill two people.
@JeffNashKS@Davidc2722@AVGirl4Life The State also currently dishes out punishment for those found guilty of committing murder. (Hypothetically) A woman who walks into an abortion clinic and murders her because it’s an inconvenience should be held liable for murder and so should the doctor.
@JeffNashKS@Davidc2722@AVGirl4Life You did change the subject from the morality of abortion to how much “violence” should be done to a woman for having one.
And you posed a loaded question that deviates from the original subject that cannot be easily answered in a simple tweet on social media.
@JeffNashKS@Davidc2722@AVGirl4Life The exception is that there isn’t just one body involved—there are two: mother and child. It’s morally reprehensible to physically rip a living baby from his or her mother’s womb with a Sopher Clamp / Grasping Forceps.
@JeffNashKS@Davidc2722@AVGirl4Life Whether you like it or not, life begins at conception. You fail to mention that there are two bodies involved when a woman is pregnant. The baby has every right to grow & live. Society is made up of flawed people. God is the giver of life and is the standard of morality.
@JeffNashKS@Davidc2722@AVGirl4Life Not a “kewl story.” Just the truth. A fetus is still alive, Jeff. It’s a growing human being. A newborn baby cannot survive on its own either without aid from someone who provides mother’s milk or formula.
