If I were to have an abortion (let's forget about gender for a moment) then I can see that being perceived as a sin.
However, I still fail to see how a stance of what you do with your body is your business is a sin. A step further what if I don't believe in abortion but don't believe in forcing my morality on others. Is gambling a sin? I don't gamble so I should be safe. But then again if I don't try to stop others from gambling and I to be damned? I don't force others to believe in my religion (although the Catholics have had some issues with that), so am I do be damned because I don't force others to believe what I do. I don't see the difference between this and abortion. Personally, I am against war more than I am against abortion. ********************** -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 11:56 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: You cannot be Catholic and Pro-Choice God has a policy of forgiveness, and He also cannot be in the presence of sin. However, let me paraphrase the bumper sticker for you: "If you are a true believer of the Catholic faith, then you don't believe in abortion." Since the Catholic Church has an official stance on that, the bumper sticker is correct: you cannot be a Catholic and be pro-choice. It's an either-or situation: either you are in the club, or you are not. It is possible to be a person believing in God and Jesus Christ and also be pro-choice, it's just a matter of denomination, and whether or not you believe that abortion is the killing of a life. However, should you be correct in that there is a God, you will have to answer for your sins to Him. That usually gives pause for reflection to a peson who claim to be a Christian and also feels that abortion is a moral act. Lastly, whether or not you feel that abortion is moral, whether or not you actually do it, you will be forgiven if you believe in Christ. Please don't point holes in this argument out to me. It's not my argument, I didn't invent it, I don't need to be convinced otherwise, and I'm just trying to help Ken understand it.
