What if the soul doesn't *enter* the body. Buddha taught and is more commonly
accepted in Hinduism that their isn't reincarnation, the transmigration of the
soul but *rebirth*. Awareness dawns when when the body is capable of
experience.When the nervous system is developed enough for the individual. At
what point is that? Nobody knows. It could be different for each person. What
makes that person an individual are the samskaras of a previous existence. When
the nervous system is developed enough to begin to manifest the qualities of
those samsakaras. Nobody knows when or how. We do know that infants that are
currently being aborted can feel pain and pleasure. They can relax and tense
up. Nobody knows when the *I* factor begins. What we do know is that those
cells have the unique coding or DNA of another human being , not the mother not
the father, a different being. Maharishi used to talk about a story in the
Puranas about the master telling the disciple about holding an enormous banyan
tree in the palm of his hand. He just picked up a seed from the tree. Within
that seed,there was the DNA for that tree that it fell from. Once that seed
sprouts, it is alive. Once the cells of the zygote begin to divide, it is
showing *life*.
We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and
endowed from their creator with certain unalienable rights, among them the
right to *life* liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I guess early on the fetus is just a "tissue", and really, I am not sure
what the term is when abortions are legal, but many of the images of abortions
I have seen don't look like just a mass of "tissue".
I am not disputing a woman's right to choose, but it appears to often come with
emotional turmoil. A close associate of mine recently had an abortion. It
was, in my opinion the right decision and she felt good about it, but now,
several months later, she is struggling a bit emotionally.
I would also have to say, that I don't think a fetus, from a spiritual
perspective, is likely to have a "better luck next time" attitude about the
whole event. I believe there is a behind the scenes scenario that plays out
whereby a soul prepares to reincarnate. At what point that soul may enter, or
take ownership of the fetus, I don't know. Perhaps, if I had a better
understanding of that more esoteric aspect of "it", I would have a better idea
of what, if any, are the unseen implications of an abortion.

Yes, birth control, in the sense that the tissue is not be allowed to continue
growing into a human being. Her body, her decision. Period. The decision is
made by the woman for the good of the woman and of the potential child. That's
the way I see it, hands down. As a woman and the mother, she should retain the
*right* to make that decision.
I'm all for birth control to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, make no mistake.
Maybe you'll be reincarnated as a woman next time around and will get the
opportunity to be a mother too.
I don't know when the soul enters the body, so to speak. I truly, deep in my
heart, do not consider it a problem. If there is a loving God/Creator spirit,
I am perfectly comfortable with the idea that the soul returns to Source, no
harm done.
There is no *blame* involved, Mike. God, you sound judgmental! Have a better

Long day Mike? Of course the newborn can live on its own. After all, it has
been "born!" If the babe is not cared for, it will die, but that's not what
we're talking about here. Most abortions occur before 8 weeks gestation - a
collection of cells barely beginning to form into tissue. "Murder" is the
premeditated taking of a human being's life. No human being there, Mike.
Simply the potential - many things go wrong.
Ultimately, Mike, you blame the mother in all cases—whether she aborts in
accordance with her free will and belief system and/or economic or married
state—or, if she has the child, and finds herself unsupported in a myriad of
ways and in need of help. You kick her and her child both, who you choose to
legitimize as a child and revere only in the "unborn" state (kids are so much
easier to deal with when unborn!) to the curb, and then sit on the sidelines
and judge and mock and resent having any responsibility for as a member of our
society and go even further and suggest she should get her tubes tied!
Incredible!!

That is a step in the right direction, though you are hanging out with the
wrong deity if they consider abortion to be murder. You say the mother is being
selfish. Fine, let her be selfish. There is no way to consider the termination
of a being that cannot live on its own, "murder". It has never been so defined.
Not in the courts, nor the holy books of any religion, including all of the
sects of Christianity. It is NEVER called "murder".
This equation is a new fiction created by those who are attempting to impose
their will on others. It is a weak and sleazy way to operate, and very cynical
of humanity in general, as if in 2016 the average person cannot figure out what
is best for them, unless someone misinterprets the Bible and starts calling
abortion, "murder", to dishonestly game that issue.
So, calling abortion "murder", is based solely on imagination, without any
basis in science or scripture. Fantasy. A very offensive way to operate when
you seek to impose such a fantasy on others. These crazy thoughts equating
abortion to murder are to be shared in a congregation perhaps, but they have no
business whatsoever being expressed publicly, except as freedom of speech.
Abortion as Murder? Absolute hogwash. Shame on you, and those who perpetuate
such a ridiculous idea, seeking to impose it on others in the name of God.
Blasphemy is all that is.

Yep, I understand your point, Mike. If I believed as you do, what you have
written below, I would feel quite a commitment to "save" others also. I mean
that with all respect for your faith. Equally so, I hope you can accept that I
see it as opinion and interpretation, even the biblical prophet bit that many
accept as truth with a capital "T". Sounds like a great way to answer every
question - for yourself and others so inclined.
However, there are many many paths to God, and yours is simply one of them.
Please let the rest of us find our own way too. It is eminently possible to
live a good, moral, God loving life, without the Christian faith, or any of
them, actually. There is also no universal requirement to take Jesus Christ as
one's savior, though he apparently serves in that role for quite a few people.
I am not knocking it, just saying that this is not a *requirement* for a
spiritually oriented life.
I see any religion as more a personal preference, though exposure to religion
is very useful, so that we have a choice to adopt a strong identification with
it, or not. Religion also exposes us to the many ways we can approach God, for
example, prayer, hymns, and meditating. At this time in my life, I choose not
to follow (or oppose) any religion, and focus my efforts on directly enjoying
God's creation, instead. No subtitles.:-)

It is clearly the woman's vessel that carries the embryo until it is born as a
human being, and she certainly has the inalienable right to treat that embryo
any way she chooses to, including the choice to get rid of it. No harm, no
foul, no sin, and no problem, unless the men decide to make it one, which of
course goes against the will of God.
So you see, by opposing a woman's right to an abortion it is you who commits
the sin, by denying her freedom. Those preaching this anti-abortion message are
the great sinners, the ones that deny God the freedom he gave each of us. So,
Mike, please go forth and sin no more. Men denying women the right to an
abortion is clearly a massive sin under God, and always will be. There will
never be a sane justification to do so.
By the same token, a woman choosing an abortion for whatever reason is sinless,
and will always be. The notion of sin doesn't even enter into such an action.
It is completely morally justified and a very very personal choice, needing no
interference from the self-righteous and anti-social elements in this country.
This argument that it is "murder" is so crazy, and designed for maximum
guilt-tripping. How can something unable to exist in the world be murdered?
Makes no sense, and is simply mental gymnastics employed for this repressive
thinking. More medieval thinking.
It amazes me that this is even an issue in 2016.

Yo, those two objects between your legs are referred to as "testicles", not
"ovaries", so I hate to break it to you, but you will never be able to give
birth, or have an abortion. Therefore your opinion on abortion is about as
meaningless as if you had one on breast pumps. Nothing personal, but I think it
is a good idea if we each stick to opinions on our own equipment, period.
Otherwise, it just sounds mean-spirited, sexist, anti-social, arrogant,
selfish, and dictatorial, OK?
The other side of that single parent coin: Yeah, there is a breakdown of the
family, in line with stagnation of wages, union busting, jobs going overseas,
the economic destruction of the middle class, etc. making the option for a
stay-at-home parent very difficult, or impossible. Once both parents were
required to work, it became much more difficult to raise families - day care is
very expensive.
