The US Supreme Court's decision didn't outlaw abortions. It simply revealed that abortions are not a true Constitutional right nor have they ever been a true Constitutional right. The 1972 Court overstepped its bounds by associating abortions with the right to privacy when there is no right to privacy in the US Constitution.
States now have the authority to define their own abortion laws; which is where abortion controls were supposed to be centralized in the first place in accord with the Tenth Amendment; which says:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Re: Roe vs Wade Decision
Post #12The word "baby" covers a wide range of life forms which is why I asked "Does killing an embryo before it implants itself count? How about after, but before it becomes a fetus?"
Soooo . . . .?
So natural laws can undo god's gift? What kind of god is this who lets his creation be quashed so easily? Either he can't prevent nature from undoing his work or he doesn't care that it does.Blaming God is another matter and quite futile, He gives us life but natural laws must apply.

However, considering he's omnipotent he could easily prevent miscarriages if he wished, but because he doesn't it's obvious he doesn't care all that much about early life. So why do you? Do you think your morals are better than his?

Post #13.
Whenever something isn't specifically regulated in the Bible; then it falls into the category of debatable issues-- i.e. gray areas --which (for Christ's followers) are addressed by the 14th chapter of Romans.
1» Romans 14 forbids argument
2» Romans 14 forbids condemning second opinions
3» Romans 14 requires everyone to be fully persuaded in their own minds.
4» Romans 14 forbids resisting your conscience
5» Romans 14 forbids playing God, viz: forbids imposing your own personal standards on others as if their own personal standards don't matter.

Post #14I don't agree with you very often, but I think this is a particularly insightful reading of Romans 14.WebersHome wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 11:39 amWhenever something isn't specifically regulated in the Bible; then it falls into the category of debatable issues-- i.e. gray areas --which (for Christ's followers) are addressed by the 14th chapter of Romans.
