Romans 12:2
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
@ite_ad@SpeaksTheodosia@sabrina_verita If not, then the argument is not regarding the impossible, but rather you would be arguing that some human beings, like a child in the womb, do not deserve the same dignity and respect as others.
@ite_ad@SpeaksTheodosia@sabrina_verita Interesting take. My rebuttal would be: what do we do for those on life support? Do we try to do what is best for them, even if they can’t speak for themselves, because they have inherent dignity as human beings?
Does a child in the womb not deserve the same treatment?
@perptualjade @appalucie @FreelyAshley92 @secularprolife The last three sentences do not support the claim of your first sentence. Being connected does not equal harm.
@perptualjade @appalucie @FreelyAshley92 @secularprolife Are you from the US? Elective abortions in states like California can be performed through all 9 months of pregnancy. The actual definition of fetus is the the developmental stage that follows the embryo stage, which for humans is 8 weeks through birth.
@appalucie You have a very poor understanding of what the vast majority of pro-life people believe. I do not believe a child in the womb is more important than the mother. I believe they are of equal value. That is why it is a human rights discussion, including both mom and baby.
@conservawoman12 Oh! And if you haven’t read “The Case for Life” by Scott Klusendorf, it is also a great resource in pro-life apologetics/discussions. Have a great night!
@conservawoman12 I totally agree. I think an awesome first step is trying to support any nearby pregnancy resource centers in your area. They would also probably have more insight on what we can do to help. 🤗
The message of Christ is an open invitation to all people to know God, to experience redemption, and to enter into the eternal love of Jesus. But that isn't where it stops. It is an invitation to follow Jesus. 1/2
@SpeaksTheodosia@sabrina_verita This blog post is helpful in discerning the logical conclusions of the “my body my choice” argument: https://t.co/ory1tMRY9m
@SpeaksTheodosia@sabrina_verita Great question! Simply, because they are human, and humans have the right to life. Or more specifically in the case of abortion, a right to not be asphyxiated or dismembered unto the point of death.
@dalepartridge So so thankful my family is all of one mind in this regard. It is very uplifting to be able to pray together and discuss spiritual matters. 🙏🏻
@conservawoman12 I tend to look at online arguments as practice for real life, too. Recognizing what argument they are using, and knowing how to defend it. The Equal Rights Institute does a fantastic job of training pro-lifers in this way.
@conservawoman12 I totally get you. From the sounds of it I think you are exactly the kind of person the pro-life group needs. Another tip I try to remember is if I express any amount of anger, I’ve already lost. I know what I believe and why I believe it. The truth will stand on its own.
@conservawoman12 Also, it is totally possible to work and have babies at home! Keep work at work and be fully invested when you are home. At least, it’s working for my family so far!
@conservawoman12 I see zero value in arguing with someone in private. At least when it comes to strangers online. Those we have relationships with in real life is a different matter, and depends on the nature of the relationship.
