 Goodness gracious, Mike. Think outside of your box! Not every unwanted 
pregnancy is the result of someone not bothering to put in their diaphragm or 
forgetting to take their birth control pills. Sometimes it is because, in an 
attempt to be merciful, the would-be mother realizes she can't care for or love 
her child.

    By e-mail to FFL,FW: I was trying to post this comment to the abortion 
thread: Just popping in on this conversation, not having followed the thread, 
but for what it’s worth, Maharishi used to say that the soul enters the body 
several months into the pregnancy. Prior to that, abortion is like “removing a 
wart” – his words. After that, it would have more serious implications. There’s 
a story at the beginning of the Mahabharata where a woman agrees to marry a 
king if he promises never to question anything she does. He agrees, and she 
ends up throwing the first 5 or 6 of her newborn children into a river. 
Finally, the king can’t stand it any more and objects, so that child lives. 
Turns out, the children were gods who had been cursed to take birth as human 
beings. They had worked out a plea deal in which their lives would be 
mercifully short. But the main offender was doomed to live an ordinary 
lifespan, so he was the one not thrown into the river.

That's been a point of mine for awhile - that it's a decision, a very personal 
decision, that the woman makes.  It's not an easy one—not simply a cold, 
heartless, decision.  A hard decision.  A decision made as her hormones are 
ramping up to high levels and changing all the chemistry, let's remember.  No 
doubt there are spiritual and emotional consequences that have to be personally 
worked through. It's not one where the woman should be condemned and vilified 
and accused of *murder.*  Give me a break!  Fear leads to procrastination and 
procrastination can lead to death.  Most of the images shown are of 
"later-stage" (later than the 6 to 8 week optimal time) abortions, used to 
support the "pro-life" movement and rabid evangelists.  The earlier the better 
for all involved and my belief is, that if we "decriminalized" it as a society, 
women would be better off and wouldn't have to face the kind of shame and blame 
that can lead to death.  The best option is always to avoid pregnancy if not 
wanted, but that doesn't always happen in real life.

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

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

uot; (later than the 6 to 8 week optimal time) abortions, used to 
support the "pro-life" movement and rabid evangelists.  The earlier the better 
for all involved and my belief is, that if we "decriminalized" it as a society, 
women would be better off and wouldn't have to face the kind of shame and blame 
that can lead to death.  The best option is always to avoid pregnancy if not 
wanted, but that doesn't always happen in real life.

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

abortion, "murder", to dishonestly game that issue. 
 

 So, calling abortion "murder", is based solely on imagination, without any

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

That's been a point of mine for awhile - that it's a decision, a very personal

heartless, decision.  A hard decision.  A decision made as her hormones are 
ramping up to high levels and changing all the chemistry, let's remember.  No 
doubt there are spiritual and emotional consequences that have to be personally 
worked through. It's not one where the woman should be condemned and vilified 
and accused of *murder.*  Give me a break!  Fear leads to procrastination and 
procrastination can lead to death.  Most of the images shown are of

When Maharishi first came to the US, he had a *quaint* little saying that 
charmed everyone. "Nobody has the right to suffer". Aw, isn't that sweet, he 
doesn't want me to suffer and he has something to relieve mine. Later among his 
closer devotees, his teachers, he would say "all suffering is caused by sin". 
Put those two sayings together and you have "nobody has a *right* to sin". 
Maharishi also talked about dharma and adharma.When a nation is following 
dharma it prospers and the people tend to be happy, suffering is minimal. When 
adharma sets in, chaos begins to develop.  Even George Washington was aware of 
this principle. He said in his inaugural speech that our nation could only 
expect the propitiation of God, his blessings, if we follow his natural order. 
Violate them and we lose his blessings. 
 We used to be *one nation under God* receiving His blessings. But in the 
sixties, atheism had it's first victory by removing any mention of God from the 
public square. Removing any mention of God from schools and it spread out. We 
started becoming a secular nation. We started killing and even condoning the 
killing of our next generation. We sacrificed our next generation for our own 
comforts. If you didn't have kids, you could have more for yourself. Fifty- 
five million children have been aborted since Roe v Wade. Our nation is so 
divided with arguing and bickering that it may not last much longer. We are in 
a state of adharma,and receiving the consequences of it. From a Jude-Christian 
perspective, we are under God's judgement. Too many people want to protect 
their *right* to sin and avoid any sense of judgement about it and  all call it 
*freedom* or even *freedom from religion*.
Enjoy your *rights* now because the times ,they are a changing.

was to refute your seeming arrogant surety that you are *RIGHT*, morally or 
spiritually in your assessment and condemnation of women who choose to exercise 
their right to abort.  
"Apples and oranges" in the sense that there is no way to even try to tie a 
decision on whether or not to bring a new life into the world to a decision by 
a crazed psychopathic madman to kill human beings already here!  Sorry, can't 
get there. 
Yes, most agree that humans have "free will" - and free will is involved in 
both those decisions - if that's what you mean.  
If you want to keep the "blame" game going in your head, here's an idea.  Focus 
on how states could legislate male reproductive rights.  Creative guy that you 
are, you should be able to come up with something!  It's not like women are 
experiencing "immaculate conception," after all. 
I hate to tell you, and perhaps I'll suffer in hell for awhile for this, but I 
don't really consider abortion even a moral issue.  I believe in the woman's 
right to choose, period.  There is no way on God's green earth I'm going to 
anyone, let alone a male dictate that decision for me.  I will bear the 
ultimate responsibility for my decision, either way.  Therefore, it is mine to 
make.  I think abortion should be legal, safe, affordable and de-stigmatized.  
If a woman of any age, for any reason, isn't ready to have a child, and finds 
herself pregnant, than she should be allowed the option to abort and it should 
be a medically safe procedure.  I believe strongly in birth control, in sex 
education, in educating boys and girls, and in the woman's right to choose.  
Consciously!

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.

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!!

Well, I have no intention to have a conversation about "God's will" I assure 
you.  My general purpose in referencing "God's plan" and "God's will" was to 
refute your seeming arrogant surety that you are *RIGHT*, morally or 
spiritually in your assessment and condemnation of women who choose to exercise 
their right to abort.   

 "Apples and oranges" in the sense that there is no way to even try to tie a 
decision on whether or not to bring a new life into the world to a decision by 
a crazed psychopathic madman to kill human beings already here!  Sorry, can't 
get there. 
 

 Yes, most agree that humans have "free will" - and free will is involved in 
both those decisions - if that's what you mean.  
 

 If you want to keep the "blame" game going in your head, here's an idea.  
Focus on how states could legislate male reproductive rights.  Creative guy 
that you are, you should be able to come up with something!  It's not like 
women are experiencing "immaculate conception," after all. 
 

 I hate to tell you, and perhaps I'll suffer in hell for awhile for this, but I 
don't really consider abortion even a moral issue.  I believe in the woman's 
right to choose, period.  There is no way on God's green earth I'm going to 
anyone, let alone a male dictate that decision for me.  I will bear the 
ultimate responsibility for my decision, either way.  Therefore, it is mine to 
make.  I think abortion should be legal, safe, affordable and de-stigmatized.  
If a woman of any age, for any reason, isn't ready to have a child, and finds 
herself pregnant, than she should be allowed the option to abort and it should 
be a medically safe procedure.  I believe strongly in birth control, in sex 
education, in educating boys and girls, and in the woman's right to choose.  
Consciously!

You know, I recently started volunteering for an organization that houses

give them $1,000 for 3 months and send them on their way; that doesn't even 
come close to covering the cost of renting an apartment. Many do not speak 
English and cannot find work.  It's ridiculous.  Reportedly, it takes at least 
18 months to get on one's feet—3 months is a ridiculous time to assume 
assimilation at even the most basic levels.  It's been a real eye opener in a

Go ahead and stand on your soapbox, Mike.  Stand there all day if you like!  
It's time for me to get off mine. :)  Seems to me that the population of the 
planet is not suffering in the least from a woman's right to 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 
day!  Thanks for the conversation.

   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!!

   Not at all, Mike, not at all.  "Not born".remember "I knew you before 
you were born.." And, in that statement, there is much room for the 
presumption that Mike does not *know* God's plan!  There are many things that 
cannot be rationalized, imho, and the spiritual context for birth is one of 
them.  Leave room for the idea that you have *no idea* what you are talking 
about!

Well, at least you've admitted, though indirectly, that most abortions are 
birth control. Unacceptable. Too many ways to prevent it in the first place. In 
your mind, at what point does one become a sentient being? I think Nancy Pelosi

The blame rests with the person choosing to have the abortion, unless she's

    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.

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

Abortion as Murder? Absolute hogwash. Shame on you, and those who perpetuate

And, perhaps the plan for the "life" is to remain *unborn*, or to be born 
through/in other circumstance.  Assuming, also, you believe in the "soul 
energy" and "eternal life."  "Judge not lest ye be judged."  You cannot say you 
know what "God's will" is for another human being. Having said that, I admire 
your command of Biblical scripture.

 Except one thing Emily, that verse goes on to describe God's plan for

  A prophet is a man that God speaks through to the rest of humanity, in this 
case, the *nations*, gentiles, non- Jews.\ And in this very verse, the 
prophetic voice is saying to the nations that God creates life in the womb and 
has a plan for that life, even that he knew you before he created you in the 
womb. This very verse describes why abortion is murder and  unacceptable. When 
you kill the fetus, you kill God's work.

presumption that Mike does not *know* God's plan!  There are many things that

give them $1,000 for 3 months and send them on their way; that doesn't even 
come close to covering the cost of renting an apartment. Many do not speak 
English and cannot find work.  It's ridiculous.  Reportedly, it takes at least 
18 months to get on one's feet—3 months is a ridiculous time to assume

compassionate decision about whether that fetus should be born under the 
circumstances she faces.

Except one thing Emily, that verse goes on to describe God's plan for 
Jeremiah's life. "I set you apart to be a prophet to the nations". A prophet is 
a man that God speaks through to the rest of humanity, in this case, the 
*nations*, gentiles, non- Jews.\ And in this very verse, the prophetic voice is 
saying to the nations that God creates life in the womb and has a plan for that 
life, even that he knew you before he created you in the womb. This very verse 
describes why abortion is murder and  unacceptable. When you kill the fetus, 
you kill God's work.

 Is an unborn "child" a child of this world?  Perhaps the "unborn" child is 
just that..a child of God and under God's domain, not yours!
 

 In answer to your first question, the answer is "yes." Why do you think you

 I've said enough, Mike.  I don't choose to play God myself and it isn't my job

history of volunteering either.  I recently began volunteering for an 
organization that runs homeless shelters for families - at one location alone, 
there are 50 children.  Fifty!!!  These aren't parents that are drug addicted - 
none of those unfortunate souls are allowed to reside there - too many children 
at risk.  The cost of housing here in Seattle has risen far above many working 
families ability to afford it.  It's a real eye opener, I will tell you.  I am 
also renting out part of my house soon—to help out my own situation and also to 
practice a more open way of being.  Believe me when I tell you I have some

those who judge the most harshly could benefit the most from a little service

 You're playing God when you claim to know God's plan is for the fetus. Maybe 
the plan is actually for the woman, to lead her to make a sensible and 
compassionate decision about whether that fetus should be born under the 
circumstances she faces.

they say.  I find it ironic how you can judge the woman who has an abortion 
(maybe because she believes she can't "afford" it, lets just say) and get all 
righteous behind: your brand of interpretation of scripture; what the 
Constitution was intending; and, the reasoning that the woman has a inviolable 
responsibility to forward that particular soul's "karma" (Ever thought about 
the idea that the soul, should it be ready to incarnate, could be perfectly 
accepting in respecting the answer of "no" of whom it has "asked" and be 
willing to be hosted by another?)and in almost the same breath, you 
blame and denigrate and rail against the mother who agrees to risk having the 
child, if she doesn't meet *your* standards.  Who are you to think you should 
play God!  Jesus was about service to others' Mike.  Maybe, take that 
relationship to your heart and put some of your hard earned retirement time 
where your mouth is and exercise that other quality that Jesus has—compassion.

Please let the rest of us find our own way too. It is eminently possible to

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

to follow (or oppose) any religion, and focus my efforts on directly enjoying 
God's creation, instead. No subtitles.:-)

Your question and language is ludicrous on so many levels I can't even respond. 
 Suffice it to say, however, as one of God's children, and as a fetus in my 
mother's womb, I'm pretty positive that I would have been just fine to 
repatriate back to the loving Creator instead of incarnating here on earth to 
suffer my "karma."

 Is an unborn "child" a child of this world?  Perhaps the "unborn" child is 
just that..a child of God and under God's domain, not yours!
 

 In answer to your first question, the answer is "yes." Why do you think you

 I've said enough, Mike.  I don't choose to play God myself and it isn't my job

history of volunteering either.  I recently began volunteering for an 
organization that runs homeless shelters for families - at one location alone, 
there are 50 children.  Fifty!!!  These aren't parents that are drug addicted - 
none of those unfortunate souls are allowed to reside there - too many children 
at risk.  The cost of housing here in Seattle has risen far above many working 
families ability to afford it.  It's a real eye opener, I will tell you.  I am 
also renting out part of my house soon—to help out my own situation and also to 
practice a more open way of being.  Believe me when I tell you I have some 
lessons to learn also.  We can all do our part and I am of the opinion that 
those who judge the most harshly could benefit the most from a little service 
to others (smile).

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.:-)

 Is an unborn "child" a child of this world?  Perhaps the "unborn" child is

 I've said enough, Mike.  I don't choose to play God myself and it isn't my job

organization that runs homeless shelters for families - at one location alone, 
there are 50 children.  Fifty!!!  These aren't parents that are drug addicted - 
none of those unfortunate souls are allowed to reside there - too many children 
at risk.  The cost of housing here in Seattle has risen far above many working 
families ability to afford it.  It's a real eye opener, I will tell you.  I am 
also renting out part of my house soon—to help out my own situation and also to 
practice a more open way of being.  Believe me when I tell you I have some

those who judge the most harshly could benefit the most from a little service

You're playing God when you claim to know God's plan is for the fetus. Maybe 
the plan is actually for the woman, to lead her to make a sensible and

 Think on this Anne. I was once present when Maharishi was asked if there would 
be any karmic difference in eating yogurt if the bacteria in yogurt was of the 
animal kingdom or the plant kingdom. He looked very serious and said "yes and 
it would be worth knowing( if the bacteria was animal or plant)" Evidently he 
had never given yogurt any thought concerning the matter.
 

 While I give MMY all due respect, his word doesn't mean much in my life or my 
world. While I am happy to hear what he might have to say about yogurt, he 
doesn't appear to have much insight based on your account here.
 

  How much more value is the life of an innocent human being over that of 
yogurt bacteria?
 

 I can't answer that question, just as I can't make a value judgement about 
what "value" innocence has or what that word really even means. Does an 
"innocent" human being have more value than a non-innocent one? Is it not as 
bad to kill a non-innocent human?
 

 If you will recall the talk about the woman that had an affair with Maharishi, 
she asked him what should she do if she ever got pregnant by him and his 
response was "get married, quickly!" But not to him. I think he indicated that 
he would arrange something. But he certainly didn't advise an abortion as I 
recall. Even though he could have to save his reputation.
 

 Having an abortion might ruin his reputation more, who knows? I know nothing 
about this woman. Did she have the child? Does that child know who its father 
is? Do you think Maharishi advising having the baby but disowning it makes him 
a better person than if he had advised an abortion?
 

 Anne, you could justify Hitler's murder of the Jews as *life sustaining* for 
the future of the Third Reich by your logic!
 

 Not by my logic but, evidently, by yours. We're talking about a fetus vs 
fully-formed, functioning human beings, ie Jews. I'm not talking about the 
Third Reich, I'm talking about the mother, another fully-formed functioning 
human being. Her well-being may be at stake here with reference to her choice 
to terminate or not terminate the life of a developing fetus.
 

  Killing an innocent life is not life supporting or sustaining for anyone.
 

 That's a pretty big blanket statement, again, what constitutes "innocent", I 
have to ask again - not to mention, how could you possibly know or conceive of 
all of the ways in which killing someone (even an undeveloped person - fetus) 
might result in something warranted or necessary or good?
 

 Not the one killed because their life has been unjustly taken and not for the 
one killing because that karma will come back to haunt them and possibly at the 
worst time.
 

 Perhaps, if one were to actually believe in something called "karma".
 

  Put in simplest of terms, you have an abortion because the last thing you 
need in life is another mouth to feed.
 

 Huh? I think there are a whole shwack of other reasons why women have 
abortions - you make it sound so superficial and selfish.
 

  You die later and when it's your time to come back and perhaps there is 
someone waiting for you that could change the direction of your eternal life, a 
real savior, a master with important knowledge for you, a once in a million 
shot, waiting for you but you reap your karma from the last human experience 
and you are aborted before your destiny can be fulfilled. Hey, life's a bitch 
and then you die! Just so you didn;t have to raise a child that you didn't want.

 

 Again, if there is, in fact, reincarnation, karma and enlightened Masters. I'm 
not convinced about any of it.
 

 If one is going to err, it is better to err on the side of life, not 
convenience or not being responsible for your actions.

 

 Again, you assume much about the reason(s) why women might chose to terminate 
a growing life. Let's just throw out, randomly, a few other reasons why one 
might want to have an abortion - just for shits and giggles:
 

 Your father raped you
 You are 11 years old and were raped by your brother or someone else
 You were raped by someone with AIDS
 You become pregnant and early testing detects very serious birth defects in 
the fetus
 You have 6 children, are living in a shack in a third world country, the 
husband and father is a violent alcoholic who regularly beats and sodomizes you 
and your offspring
 Your health is such that having a child might kill you
 You are HIV positive

BTW Ollie,a Biblical Prophet is one who is ordained by God Almighty to be His 
spokesperson. This verse clearly says that Jeremiah is God's messenger to the 
Gentiles, the Nations, non Jews. He clearly says that it is He that forms us in 
our mothers womb and that He knew you before He started and that He has a plan 
for your life. If you interfere in that plan by killing someone that He is 
creating for His purposes, that is the ultimate evil. That is Satanic/Demonic.

    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.

 If the situation of single-parent households upsets you, perhaps you should 
volunteer yourself to do some good, instead of sitting on your rear end, 
judging and blaming.  Most kids who grew up in households without discipline 
craved discipline and wished they had a family that required them to come home 
for dinner at 6—they wish they had someone in their lives growing up who cared 
enough.  
 

 You continue to err in assigning blame to "single parent households" as a 
categorical reason for what you describe below.  A simplistic justification 
that allows you to sit back in your Christian/Hindu armchair, and demonize, 
dehumanize and blame the category.  You could stop pussyfooting around and 
actually get involved somewhere; you'd be surprised how a desire to do good 
(instead of just mentally masturbating on it) and how hands on, real  life 
experience might broaden your perspective.  You have something to give back to 
the country and people and opportunities that allowed you to retire comfortably 
in your retirement.  What is it?

If the situation of single-parent households upsets you, perhaps you should 
volunteer yourself to do some good, instead of sitting on your rear end, 
judging and blaming.  Most kids who grew up in households without discipline 
craved discipline and wished they had a family that required them to come home 
for dinner at 6—they wish they had someone in their lives growing up who cared 
enough.  
You continue to err in assigning blame to "single parent households" as a 
categorical reason for what you describe below.  A simplistic justification 
that allows you to sit back in your Christian/Hindu armchair, and demonize, 
dehumanize and blame the category.  You could stop pussyfooting around and 
actually get involved somewhere; you'd be surprised how a desire to do good 
(instead of just mentally masturbating on it) and how hands on, real  life 
experience might broaden your perspective.  You have something to give back to 
the country and people and opportunities that allowed you to retire comfortably 
in your retirement.  What is it?

Emily, I was stating the facts. People wonder why we have so much crime and 
violence in society. This is part of the problem, the break down of the 
traditional family, two parents raising children responsibly. Generally 
speaking, it's too difficult for one parent to raise children successfully. 
Pointing that out seems to cramp some people's style. If you can't recognize 
the problem and face it, you can't fix it.

Chill Anne, nobody blamed Hillary for kids being screwed up. Of course dead 
beat dads share the blame. They are the ones producing the overwhelming 
majority of these punks that get in trouble and end up in prison.Chances are, 
they never had any significant part in raising the kid, monetarily or guidance 
wise.
As for the moms, many probably aren't much better than either of the girls in 
the video. Again, because they never had adequate guidance growing up from mom 
or dad.Of course, they have ample access to birth control these days, even the 
big *A*(abortion) that I'm 100% against. There's no excuse for 50% or better  
of children being born out of wedlock and then expecting society to raise them 
while mom keeps knocking out more of the same and continues to compound the 
problem.
But then, I guess we can always blame McDonalds and Burger King for not raising 
the minimum wage to $15.

Good Lord, I think I've woken up to a FFL that has really lost its mind this

ignorant children or those who act out, become hellions. Of course, you seem to 
assume  that most single-parent families are headed by women (those good-for 
nothing deadbeat dads just love to run off and knock up someone else while high 
on some drug or other) - so let's add their lack of parenting ability to the 
list.

Well... it already is and she's not president  yet.I don't know what people 
expect when you have so many kids growing up in single parent households. It's 
kind of a jungle, survival of the fittest. Kids like this usually are never 
taught any kind of effective nonviolent conflict resolution. They grow up with 
a minimum of supervision, lacking authority figures close to them to teach them 
social skills. As they grow up, they produce the same, if not worse. It's a 
vicious downward cycle that's becoming more and more the norm. I guess TM 
taught in schools might offer some help to these kids but the trick is, that 
they need to want to do it. Most of these kids seem to lack any kind of self 
discipline. Sitting down for 15-20 minutes twice a day might be more than they 
can handle and for the most part, too fucking boring. Hell, they could be 
beating up some kid, taking their lunch money and buying a dime bag!
