Presumably, all Christians believe in an immortal soul. The soul of the a fetus is safe, being immortal. Whereas the flesh has barely formed at all. The denigrated, maligned flesh is, in this case, hardly there. The body is only marginally human, and the brain, memory and personality, are marginal at best. So why not discard the flesh, since the soul is safe, and the flesh is so... weak? — hypericin
Therefore right after impregnation a fetus have soul and so it is a valid human. This means that Christians believe that abortion = murder. — Takerian
The tiny little problem with this argument is that neither believers nor heathens know anything about when, or if, a fetus is ensouled — Bitter Crank
it isn't ensoulment that makes a killing murder. It is the deliberate action of one person acting on another resulting in death. — Bitter Crank
Christians believe that a sex is something sacred, either physical and spiritual connection of partners — Takerian
There seems a non-sequitur here. I will condense your hypothetical question and answer ("No") into one statement, which you believe implies the subsequent statement:Ask anyone if they would have lived their life if their mother had an abortion instead of giving birth ro them. The anwser would of course be "No". Therefore one can argue that abortion is the snuffing out of a human life. Isn't the cold-blooded, premeditated snuffing out of a human life murder? — Dredge
